Too Much Of Anything - “A song about temperance in all
things. The insidius horror of excess. We felt this summed up just what too
much of anything could do to a person -- too much sex, drink, drugs, even rock’n’roll
or nasty blues music. Realizing at the last minute how totally hypocritical
it would be for a load of face-stuffing drug-addicted alcoholics like us to
put this out, we didn’t. Did you hear about the poor chap who died because
he drank too much carrot juice? I dedicate this ditty to him.”

Won’t Get Fooled Again - Tells of rebels being offered
amnesty to abandon anarchic ways and join up with conventional forces, accepting
the status quo and thereby receiving power in return. “The hero of the

don’t get taken in.’” It’s tells of a revolution but
ends by stating that revolution doesn’t really change anything.
