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...
... but at what point does it stop being CPR and start being like trying to reanimate a corpse?

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!
