The echo of a thousand marching boots hammers on the air. They're
|
singing anthems, chanting oaths and whistle as Salome lifts her skirt
|
because they're 'real' men and they're healthy, happy... own the
|
place. They raise hell when they're sober, wrestle tigers when
|
they're drunk. In their living rooms a picture of the queen nestles
|
in between Miss August and a placard saying HOME IS WHERE THE HEART
|
IS. (Keep it pure, keep it white. Keep it free of undesirables
|
because freedom is so valuable and getting scarcer.). Fight! So they
|
march. Smashing windows, splashing slogans, pushing petrol bombs
|
through doors 'til a uniform appears. Gently whisper in the ear of
|
the leader. "That's against the law but we'll ignore it this time.
|
Peace Krime's got to be official!"
|
Keep it clean. Keep it quiet. In a lonely moor the digger's working,
|
bigger holes hold more... And the patriots stay in as convoys rattle
|
down the street. No-one hears the weeping, no-one listens for the
|
cracks at dawn. The shovelling goes on and on and on. But the
|
patriots aren't frightened cos they heard it on T.V. that a Golden Age
|
lies 'round the corner. And day now...
