    Lyrics
    Long ago in London town
    a man called Ant sat deeply sighing
    he was wondering
    which side of the fence he was on
    prick up your ears...
    time went by and soon
    the one was five young hombres
    burning fire
    they were in no doubt
    which side of the fence they were on
    prick up your ears (mag-nificent five)...
    he who writes in blood
    doesn't want to be read
    he must be learned by heart
    he's got to be learned by heart
    they believed in sex and looking good
    with their own brand of music
    they weren't pandering
    so which side of the fence
    are you on?

    Marco brought those huge eternal riffs with him. He doesn't get enough credit.

      Marco is an incredibly bad assed guitarist. Vive Le Rock for example.

    “Of all that is written, I love only what a person has written with his blood. Write with blood, and you will find that blood is spirit… He that writes with blood and proverbs does not want to be read, but learned by heart. In the mountains the shortest way is from peak to peak, but for that route you must have long legs. Proverbs should be peaks, and those spoken to should be big and tall.”
    - Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

      that quote adds depth to one of my favorite Ant songs, thank you.

      What's the point in writing then if he doesn't want to be read?- just a thought.🤔

      @@Anglo_Saxon1 According to this blog on Philosophy Stack Exchange: " Blood is life. If you write your message with your blood, you are writing it with your life. That means you are ready to sacrifice your life for your message ...and you are living your message. Nietzsche was more of a poet than philosopher, especially classical German philosopher who was "reader" i.e. scholar (often professor) . Think Kant above all others. Those kind of philosophers did create seemingly wondrous works, but those works didn't influence their life and their philosophy remained scholastic."

    This album is definitely a very Original, though most of the songs written and sung by Brit with songs inspired by Tex Mex, Spaghetti Western,(borrowed from American Western) , Disco, Disney's Pirates of the Carribean, with all the HI Ho's, and manly Ahhs,, American Sci Fi, a bit of Rockabillyisque Bass Rythym.
    This is the best ode to Americana by a British band ever.
    An American trying to pull this off as a follow up album would have come off contrived.
    One of Brittain's most Original Bands..
    Something about this with all the hollering in the back up vocal reminds me of a couple of 60s songs, Double Shot of my baby's love,, and a particular song of which the title escapes me The chorus is ' If you want to be Happy for the rest of your. Life , never make a pretty woman your wife, and from. My persoal point of view, get am ugly girl to marry you.

      P.o.t.C ?? As well as being excellent musicians,they must also have mastered the art of time travel,in order to receive their inspration from Pirates of the Carribean.😅
