David from Austin, Txthis song is about thom having a child and his fears about nuclear war ("in a bunker underground") and children having to live through it ("little babies' eyes"). thom also sings about his son and the state of the world in "sail to the moon."
Christine from Sunderland, EnglandThis too me is one of tom's best vocals along with "the tourist". Short and beatiful it's also a great lead into "punch up at a wedding" on the album.
Jonathan from Valencia, South AmericaThis song is beautifull. Short, but very nice. You can hear a perfect combination of voices. It sounds like "Bohemian Rhapsody" of Queen. The chorus is fantastic, is not it??
Timothy from Metropolis, IlThis is a great song.
A great song for thom's vocals also.
