Feed The Enemy

"Feed The Enemy"和"Shot By Both Sides"持类似怀疑论基调。"Shot"来自Devoto某次与女友对政治的讨论,受女友一句话启发。Devoto在Buzzcocks发行首张EP后果断离开"punk movement",当深陷无论是主流文化或逃去反主流文化,如果企图打破它的常规,你会发现他们其实是一路货色。这些文化运动夺走你的自由判断和质疑能力而你丝毫不知,"Shot by both sides, on the run to the outside of everything"。
"Feed The Enemy"则是冷战背景,"Scepticism was really important to me" explained Devoto. "I've always been quite apolitical because of my weakness for seeing both sides of things. Or thinking I do. 'Feed The Enemy' came fairly directly out of visiting Berlin that September on a tour of Germany supporting Patti Smith. Those serious borders with men with guns and a real feeling of not being wanted there. But at the same time having this complete fascination with it all."

It's always raining over the border
There's been a plane crash out there
In the wheatfields
They're picking up the pieces
We could go and look
And stare
How many friends have we over there?
The border guards fight unconvincingly
Whatever we do
It seems things are arranged
We always have to feed the enemy
You could dance for me
And punch me through
Dance for me
We watched them trash thee last camera
Glued to all our TV's
The actors on the replay
Trying again to touch you and me
But they always seem to know
Exactly what they're talking about
Now they've got you in a corner
You've got no room to move
You've got no room for doubt
That's exactly what they're talking about
Now they're got you in a corner
No room to move
No room for doubt
