God, when the girls hit that "there's a war coming" line, and the band is churning away at this sonic shitstorm - it gives me chills. And I've seen this vid a lot.
This song is a classic. What I like is that on the LP it has an air of comedy about it, but on this live performance, it's more a sense of impending doom lol. That initial thump of the bass guitar is immense.
they rly know how to create some noise/music

That half second of silence before the launch into "there is a war coming" is just...perfect.

I think this is a riff on Song of Solomon chapter 5, verses 6-7.

Fantastic song this, one of my favourites. However, I've been having trouble understanding what it's about. Any ideas?

now i might be wrong, but i believe it's about hiding... perhaps a small part of yourself or even all of it away...
