REVOLUTION STREET

PHIL E STINE: "A song that took fifteen years to get to its finished stage - the lyrics were written all that time ago but it took fifteen long years to get the tune that fit the words. After supporting the UK Subs in Wakefield both me and Ratbag said we needed a "Warhead"-type anthem, and one week later the song was written. The lyrics are probably the prequel to "One Of The Boys", it's about the innocence of youth, standing on the corner of the street with nothing better to do than kick about ideas for what to do when we grew up - revolution against the world."
