Well, I never knew that was an actual place!

Thanks for the link, I understand references in the song a bit more now.  It is an imposing visage.

Also, just realized, a day or two ago, that the song itself is in 3/4 time (I think - vague on some of the intricacies here), like a waltz.  24 years on, I'm clever that way

'watch 95 minutes of simulated torture...'

Wow, NMA predicted the Saw movies back in the 80's...

I might get showered with insults here but this is my favorite track off T&C! I love that ending with some pause and then the crashing sound of drums and guitars. And also the passage: "It's open season on the weak and the feeble/
Their meagre ambitions, their impotent fury"... Damn, that sends chills up my spine even when I read them!

I remember reading somewhere that Justin said it was a song he was very proud of. So, you're in good company in liking it!
