I think I was always wake aware of wake them and then being in Scotland, from a very early age, I decided that national identity was very important. “Dada wake comes from the dictionary. It is terribly simple. In French it means 'hobby horse.’ In German it means ‘good-bye,’ ‘Get off my back,’ ‘Be seeing you sometime.’ In Romanian: ‘Yes, indeed, you are right, that's it. But of course, yes, definitely, right.’ And so forth.” "If you judge us, then we're all damned." - "The Fallen," You Could Have it So Much Better… Alex: "The Fallen" is probably the wordiest song we've ever written. It's about as far removed from a pop single as you can get. The song is about a character who we all know who we used to hang about with. He'd been ostracized by a wider social circle because of his behavior at a particular time. The song was about how I was disappointed by the hypocrisy of the people within this wider social circle for sending him to Coventry for his behavior. These people were supposed to be liberal and understanding, but in their attitudes proved to be intensely boring and conservative, and also intolerant and unforgiving.
