"You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
if you did not know the audio sample from the opening of the song is from the film noir classic "The Third Man" it's from the scene were Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten are talking when on the ferris wheel. It's known as the The "Swiss cuckoo clock" speech.
I love this song.

Listening to Tony Wakeford makes me reconsider my point of view on the world. Check "See the dove fall" or "Somewhere in Europe"!
