This one was inspired mainly by the campaign on UK:Resistance urging people to petition developers to bring back blue skies in games and cut back on gangs, guns and shades of grey.

Even though I dashed the lyrics off for this one while I was doing a poo I'd like to think this doyouinverts offering (that sounded wrong) has a bit of depth to it. The transition from the 80s to the 90s. The first war in Iraq. It's littered with metaphor. I expect GCSE English Lit courses to be based on this in 50 years time.

I had intended the last bit to cycle for 10 minutes, for a real lighter-in-the-air feel, but my fingers started hurting when I was recording it and I imagine One Lift Left would prefer not to take up a ¼ of the podcast with a doyouinverts song. Obviously, at the live performances this will be the doyouinverts Hey Jude - and that's the first, and last time, you'll hear the timeless works of the Beatles and the doyouinverts offerings mentioned in the same sentence again.

Musical guest Adonis Smythe once again lends his glittering fingers of +1 piano and celesta playing.

I have rather infrequent Internet access at the moment, usually about an hour a day, sat in a McDonalds somewhere in rural France. So while this track was done a few weeks back, I missed the “Internet Reaction” to it (and also forgot to stick it up here). Rather entertainingly it spawned thread on NeoGAF, where a doyouinverts superfan had actually hand transcribed the lyrics, and hacked the song out of the podcast (which makes a change, as most of my friends on other forums hack the doyouinverts song out of One Life Left and listen to the rest). That aside, I clearly missed my moment of glory on the 'GAF, and a vital chance to boost the fame-o-meter, as well as correcting the myriad of errors in the transcribed lyrics. I mean. Tut. One just can't get the fans these days.

This song is about the endless fanboy arguments that perpetuate the gaming internet forum community, with a slight twist. Once again, Adonis Smythe is in da haus on keys.
