"There isn't much a target needs to know." Another inconvenient truth.

i asked Pete on air why he isn't more famous. he didn't know - nor did I. BTW he did a couple of songs live - thief in the night being one of them. He's as good live now as he was then. Just magic. And a thoroughly nice bloke as well.

*I love this song*a friend of me says the lyrics are based on a real story. but i think they are a metaphor on the political and economic situation. specially around the lines of:Their history had them covered like a gunIt hit them like a bolt out of the blueToo quick to grasp and far too late to runThey crashed and died together in the sunFor me that is the metaphor for a system that creeps up on us and caresses us until we are in the trap and can´t move any other way - and snap we are inside and have to pay the bill. sounds familiar? that´s exactly what happend times and times again in the last 10 years. and it will again and againhe even mentions the steps of caressing (imho)Gatsby floated broken in the poolThe Kansas City Seven found a grooveBarrymore and Lombard played the foolAnd Cheetah slowly taught John Wayne to move
