This is my fav. Glass Tiger song.Its funny that they are considered a one hit wonder group(Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone).I remember this song playing on the radio back in '86 or '87 and I LOVED it.Couldn't understand why it wasn't a big hit in the US

The song by Glass Tiger "Thin Red Line" is about the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War in 1854. Kedikoi is also spelt Kadikoi and is a small village. Drawn up in front of it were the Highlanders (Rory's is a common referrence to the Scottish). Claidemaugh is a dubious spelling of claymore, an english word which is a basket hilted sword and a metaphor for martial valour. The "Thin Red Line" of only several hundred Highlandes and allies saw off approximately 2,500 Russian cavalry.
