About this song
- A Cave classic to start; his frenzied 1988 meditation on awaiting execution. Nick Launay, producer of both cave and Idles, sees strong similarities: "There's absolutely no fucking around at all," he tells. "It's almost like they're taking what most people would take an hour to do and doing it in three minutes. But those three minutes are intense as fuck." .
