This song was originally inspired by WB Yeats' poem Easter, 1916; which is about the uprising against British colonial rule in Ireland. The British authorities reacted by executing the ringleaders, stupidly thinking that would be the end of it. However, it shocked the Irish public and galvanised support for independence, which they ultimately achieved a few years later. I wrote some lyrics about unintended consequences but I didn't really like them, so I quickly rewrote them about being in a desert, with the title and outro being the only bits left from the original.

Therefore, these liner notes were entirely pointless. You're welcome.
