I've got a friend he's a pure bred killing machine

| I think this song is really good, but a tad idealistic. I love the lines: If love is a drug I guess we're all sober, If hope is a song I guess it's all over, How to have faith when faith is a crime, and But do we learn that what should not be learned Do they define a cure for this disease Really clever use of paradox! I love these lines. Oh my GOD!!! My Ipod was on shuffle and it just came up...that is SO weird. I love this song! Woo! | |

| Nerina Pallot from The Sun 21/4/06 The war had just begun and I knew people who were going out there to serve, people I went to school with. I am anti the occupation of Iraq but the song was a personal response - from a purely selfish point of view, I just want the people I know out there to be okay. And for them to come home soon. | |

| good song, brilliant video, good poppy antiwar song, no war is over (if you want it), but what is. | |

| Great anti-war song, she's completely right, we're forgetting what we're fighting for! I like the video too. | |

| @ clarkey89 so your saying we should support them now there over there, also can we just get this point clear invading Iraq actually fuels terror rather than stops it http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/5375064.stm | |

| Yeh well war's bad, it's a real kick in the pants, but that line 'Don't tell me it's a worthy cause/No cause could be so worthy' is an even bigger kick in the balls to the people over there isn't it? Think about it, you're telling them that they're wasting thier time and lives for nothing, an unworthy cause. There are some things worth dying and killing for, not shitty little trivialities, but real things like principals ie. freedom, not in the George Bush Earth President style but freedom from fear and oppression. I'll be damned if I'm expected to do whatever some skirt wearing (genuine) terorist wants because he's tryna use fear as a weapon or some shitty country who thinks they can wave nukes at the world and expect them to do whatever. Nuts to them, time to send them all to hell! | |
