  • 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.
