NAVVIES BUILDING BRIDGES AND DIGGING TUNNELS. IT SET ME THINKING LOTS OF
PEOPLE WRITE ABOUT TOWNS, CITIES ETC. BUT NOBODY SEEMS CONCERNED THAT
SOMEONE ACTUALLY HAD TO SEAT BLEED AND OCCASIONALLY DIE TO CONSTRUCT
THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. WE ORIGINALLY RECORDED A VERSION OF THIS PRIOR TO
MAKING "BLACK SEA" THAT WAS MUCH SLOWER AND VERY MOURNFUL, BUT THE REST
OF THE BAND URGED ME TO DO IT AGAIN AS THEY THOUGHT IT TOO SAD.

A TROOP KNOWN AS EASY COMPANY. HE IS BRAVE, HANDSOME AND SUCCESSFUL.
NOT AS ONE EMPTY HEADED GIRL WROTE IN TO COMPLAIN TO A MUSIC PAPER
"LIKELY TO CAUSE VIOLENCE TO WOMEN".

WALL SHOULD I SO MUCH AS SNEEZE. NOT KNOCKING PEOPLE WHO HAVE "RESPECTABLE"
IDEALS (I KNOW I MUST HAVE A FEW) MORE OF A SONG OF PEOPLE WITH DOUBLE
OR HYPOCRITICAL VALUES. YOU KOW THE SORT, BLIND DRUNK ONE NIGHT,
CHURCH THE NEXT. OR THE MOTHER WHO URGES HET DAUGHTER TO GO OUT AND HAVE
FUN DEAR, ISN'T ABORTION WONDERFUL. IF THEIR DAUGHTER GOT PREGNANT THEY
WOULD BEAT HER SENSELESS.
