Taken from "Tonics And Twisted Chasers" 1997
"Over the flames
The plastic airplanes circled
And every ambulance harmonized
A glorious yellow smoke filled the eyes
Of the baby giants given astro-taffy
To keep them happy
While the war raged on
And the friendly army drove to beat the band
How did you escape
Your door was locked
The exit's blocked
Now I know
It's not so impossible
Now I know
We can't go back to where we were
We're back to where we'll be
ooooh
Back to where we were
we'll be"
A lumbering strum and a lovely wilting vocal from Bob and a fantastic melody make this a mini RP classic. Big question? What is an Astro-Taffy though?

another brilliant Pollard tactic:
create this surreal dream world with a panoramic lens
then zoom in to an individual - the escapee - and add a personal element
in this case, it's an element of freedom - his greatest theme!
