Yeah, that bug just wouldn't shift. Not had a case of a cold go that bad since I was a kid. Anyhoo...
In a similar ilk to you Fall sojourn, after reading the wonderful 'Theme For Great Cities' book I came across the website for Simple Minds which listed most of the lyrics and some of the stories behind them.

TBH, It turns out that the lyrics I've been singing to many of their songs over the years are totally wrong. Mind you, the mixing and phrasing of those early albums don't make it easy. I had no idea that the song - 'The King Is White and In The Crowd' was about the assassination of Egyptian President Sadat. I always thought it was a sort of Heart of Darkness story. Websites worth a trawl through, though I only bothered with the first 5 or 6 albums, the pre stadium stuff.

Will have a look out for The Fall book, always like it when you experience well known tunes in a different light.
