The lyrics are so culturally appropriate to that time that anyone listening now wouldn't probably get it.

The same with Futuristic Sex Robotz with the Hotel Coral Essex album - some of those songs on there are so pinpointed in time that they just remind me of the computers and using them.

Agree, the reference to a Vauxhall Nova SR in 'Has it Come to This' is a case in point. The car itself, the boy racer culture of the era, it's very specific.

Some things don't change though. Geezers will always need excitement. Terry still drinks and gets in fights and Tim is still a criminal for the choice of herbs he inhales.

Been awhile since I've thought about FSR. Back in the day, I used to listen to WoW on repeat while putting far too many hours of my life into that game.
