A bit of a callback, lyrically, to Doomsday Afternoon. This track also takes the Doomsday Afternoon theme from "Micro Softdeathstar" and inverts it going "up" instead of "down". This correlates to the "Blown up station" image in the album art.
lyrics
the error lives on
if you catch them at the station
you must ask them what they need
must the whole of civilization
just collapse in to chaos and greed
if you catch them at the station
before the body bombs blow
just a quick enhanced interrogation
we must find out all they know
while we’re having this chat
the question escapes:
can all this be wrong?
all this fighting connects to something
i swear the error lives on
the error lives on
did you catch them
did you find them
and expose them so all will see
we can crack them
and their obstruction
and conduct them
to where nobody leaves
we’ve been waiting
for this dissention
yes, we all have our roles
for the show
just a taste
of pure investigation
let a hundred blossoms grow
do not fear, all we want to do is talk
just some names and then
you walk away
wait! i can’t hear
don’t you want to tell me something
‘cos i hate to stand here wondering
i get bored, you’ll feel pain
and so little time remains
stop playing games

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before?
This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship.

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
