I like the guitar intro to this and I’m going to nick it for something else. We were demoing a lot of tracks at R.E.L. at this time and maybe we should have developed some of them a bit further. The lyric is about refusing to get caught up in jingoism and misplaced patriotism. — Stuart Adamson, Restless Natives & Rarities liner notes
