"Rover" - being a dog - 4+mins "One Brown Mouse" - mouse in a cage - 3+mins "Heavy horses" - about horses - almost 9 mins "weathercock" - man ponders the life of a weather vane - 4mins "Something's on the Move" - icequeen tale - 4+mins
that last one is just one from the album which is sorta an enviromentalism type of album and the last form the 70's. Im going to put a few more but getting weary of the task that was at first fine so it will just be a smattering. very often the albums have a theme and are constucted in a particular way. This is one thing I hate about remix albums as it loses the very intentional construction of the album and if I ask amazon to play an album it will always choose the latest remix one. sigh
"Working John, Working Joe" - like it sounds - 5mins "Black Sunday" - putting sunday as the worst day instead of monday. Its hard to relate now but before the 80's in much of the western world practically nothing was open on sundays - 6+mins "and further on" - not a story but seems to be a reaction to someones death and just love the emotion it conveys. very complex to me and reminiscent of "we used to know" but totally different mix of complex emotions - 4+mins "Flying Colours" - dude describing what fighting with a loved one is like - 4+ "Steel Monkey" - either a high rise steel worker or a male prostitute - 3+mins "Farm on the Freeway" - losing the farm - 6+mins "I'm Your Gun" - about being a gun - 3+mins "Down at the End of Your Road" - making it big in real estate - 3+mins "17" - nostalgia about being young - 3+mins "Big Riff and Mando" - dude steals bands guitar - almost 6mins
ok lastly just putting a note that when the band reformed in recent times their first album "zealot gene" which was delayed by covid ended up being such a good summation of that first trump administration. The band has the strange distinction now of having musical commentary from nixon till present. One of the funny things is I associate it with the US but im sure plenty of it is more about the UK. Its amazing how close our political idiocy tends to be to each other.
