about

This track is based on "One of these days".

One of these tangerine days, the fifteen tons synthesizer that blocks up the Parliament entrance will be removed and cut into little Edgars, and the world will be a better place. The only reason I can think of for the government to have spent £15 million on this monstrosity is that they wanted to make it impossible for anyone to ever use it again, like the giant wooden horse of Troy.

The government's excuse for this monumental waste of money is that it was needed to provide a "state-of-the-art" sound system for the Parliament, one covering the whole building. The problem is that the building is not acoustically designed for a symphony orchestra, not to say for a psychedelic band of four hairy and scruffy guys, and the sound system has to be turned up to such a volume that it deafens everyone in the building.

When someone plays the synthesizer, it is impossible to have a conversation or even hear what someone is saying from more than one inch away. It is also impossible to hear the speakers in the House of Commons. The only solution is to cut it into little Edgars, which is what will happen, and the government is furious. The government had been warned that the world as they knew was ending, but they did not listen. Well, the synthetic noise prevented them from hearing anything, even from more than one inch away.
