the bit about blinkers in a century of fakers should be taken in context with the rest of the verse. they are wearing blinkers because they dont have time for anyone else. this is why the people in the line before are lonely, because they wont spend any time with them and the next couple of lines is their excuses of why they are blowing the lonely people off and ignoring them. thats what i thought anyway, sorry if it doesnt make any sense im not very good with words and i know most of the rest of people who offered opinions were very eloquent. also sorry if i have got the details of the song wrong but i was doing it from memory and thinking about it in the bath. from tjohn "all my soul records spin on my hifi make me feel like God is within me but hes not, its a lie, i am empty..." hefner- the science fiction +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
