'Urbane' track by track - 07_ Dead babies...

This was a late one that came together very quickly and works, I think, surprisingly well. Musical and titular influences respectively from Talking Heads and Martin Amis - abiding favourites both. This is a rare occasional piece, provoked by the undercover police who took the names of dead children and insinuated themselves into the hearts and beds of women involved with environmental and animal rights groups. We already know the contempt with which our governors hold the environment and animals. We will soon, hopefully with the supposedly imminent inquiry into child abuse, realise the extent to which they have historically despised our children (and I'm sure still do). This shameful episode lets us know pretty squarely how contemptuous they are of us, the citizens they're supposed to represent. So this song is just a gentle reminder to them that the feeling is mutual. (Parental advisory on this one: there's quite a bit of swearing on it, so for heaven's sake don't play it in front of your parents....)
