So I think the majority of the song is from the point of view of the military conducting the drone attacks, trying to work out which people are terrorists by use of the drones cameras. Basically trying to decide who they should bomb. "What's he doing with that stick?" is basically just them saying, "is he a threat?" Another powerful song. I wonder if, instead of b-sides she's going to release all of the other songs as singles. Maybe she thought they were too important to be hidden away as b-sides. |

And I'd just changed it to grainy as you typed. |

So I'm pretty sure these are all right now, except the Waiting for the Moment line. Can't quite get it. somme wrote: Guilty Rules and regulations There's a little figure On the television Scratching at the ground By a pile of rags Grainy little figures On the television screens Weighing up the moment Guilty!

It will probably pop up in other digital stores (7digital, Bleep, Boomkat) this Friday, the regular release day for popular tunes. |

I like it more than a lot of the songs that made it on the album. It's a shame this one didn't make the cut |
