Got any interesting thoughts on a set of lyrics? Any that don't involve the word "indeed"? Find yourself struggling to decipher all those obtuse references Von makes? Read "1959 And All That" and still no clearer? Nope, us neither. Postcards found lying in a skip around the back of the Chemists can be found here... Don't say you weren't warned.

Ok, so I think I get the main gist of these lyrics but anyone got anyhting to say about it meaning-wise?
(8) and you might say it's self-destructive but, you see, I'd kick the bucket sixty times before I'd kick the habit (8)

There is a brief discussion here but nothing conclusive.

About the slide of society, dumbing downs of ideals, that sort of thing mixed with a bit of T.S Elliot referencing and the like. I remember reading in one of Mick Mercer's books someone reckoning it was about witches and covens...mostly because it mentions pagans at one point.

It's the way of sheep to be hearded into flocks and the mentaliity of the masses to be fooled. The Emperors new clothes.
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity

Admit it, my typing was pretty good, despite my head banging on the keyboard. :P
