(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 sono stati una band inglese di alternative rock attiva durante gli anni '80. Il nome della band deriva dalla storia breve del 1960 "Il giorno in cui chiusero le fabbriche di cristalli" dell'autore di fantascienza Frederik Pohl. I The Icicle Works si unirono all'onda di "neo-psichedelia" di Liverpool degli anni '80, che ha lanciato al successo anche band come Echo and the Bunnymen e The Teardrop Explodes. Il loro sound era caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, riff chitarristici potenti e testi introspettivi. Il loro album di debutto, "The Icicle Works", uscito nel 1980, ha ricevuto un'accoglienza positiva dalla critica. Tra i brani più noti della band ci sono "Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)", "Love Is the Law" e "Great Expectations". La band si è sciolta negli anni '90 ma ha avuto un impatto significativo sulla scena musicale britannica degli anni '80.

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.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
