"One of the earlier songs written for the album - The lyrics are very
complex dealing with mythology and Welsh self-destruction.
Influenced by the poetry of R.S. Thomas. Musically the intro is
very Stax Hammond organ - in many way the Elvis impersonator of
the record." (Nicky Wire; September 1998) |
