Tony Blair, King Crimson fan

So he’s not a Mötorhead fan after all. According to this Guardian article, his favourite song is King Crimson’s “21st Century Schizoid Man”

Cat’s foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia’s poison door.
21st century schizoid man.

Blood rack barbed wire
Politicians’ funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
21st century schizoid man.

Death seed blind man’s greed
Poets’ starving children bleed
Nothing he’s got he really needs
21st century schizoid man

They don’t write ‘em like that any more…

Parellels with the war on Iraq, or anything else about Tony Blair’s government, is left as an exercise for the reader.
