(McNabb)
Travelling overseas I was accosted by a student
Who asked me where I came from, she was pretty
Children don't put smack in your veins
Lennon cut his teeth here
And the party-pooping left wing
Wouldn't play the Tories game
We're always in the market for an off-beat love affair
With a foreign delegation condescending for a share
Of a pressure cooker spouting steam
That threatens to unload
With a power so formidable
The Russian bear is in the woods somewhere
Television comedians united in approval
The drama that confronts you with real people in real times
I'm only in a band because I failed my own audition
You have to see somebody suffer other than yourself
Right now we're in a jam
We'll call you back when we get straight
'Cos Townsend's coming 'round
He understands, he won't be late
There's lots of food for thought
But not a great deal on our plate
The southerners don't like us
Who can blame 'em seems we're always in the spotlight
We're always in the market for an off-beat love affair
Heseltine came up now trees are sprouting everywhere
McDonalds finally found us and we're folklore in Turin
We used to pull the ships in
Now we're goin' down
Look at the state we're in
The Icicle Works were an English alternative rock band active during the 1980s. The band's name derives from the 1960 short story "The Day the Icicle Works Closed" by science fiction author Frederik Pohl. They joined Liverpool's early 1980s 'neo-psychedelia' wave, which also propelled Echo and the Bunnymen and The Teardrop Explodes to stardom. Their sound was characterized by catchy melodies, powerful guitar riffs and introspective lyrics. Their debut album, "The Icicle Works", released in 1980, received positive critical acclaim. Among their most well-known songs are "Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)", "Love Is the Law" and "Great Expectations". The band disbanded in the 1990s but had a significant impact on the British music scene of the 1980s.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
