40 Years!
Big Science. Hallelujah
Every man, every man for himself
Big Science. Hallelujah. Yodellayheehoo
'Cause when love is gone
There's always justice
And when justice is gone
There's always force
And when force is gone,
There's always Mom.
Hi Mom!
Ha ha ha ha.
I don’t listen back to my records often but I did for this reissue and I was surprised how fresh it still sounds, 40 years later. Thanks for listening!

"There was something about Massenet's aria 'O Souverain'—which inspired 'O Superman'—that almost stopped my heart. The pauses, the melody ... A prayer about empire, ambition, and loss." —Laurie

"I'm an extremely optimistic person, and so I choose not to ignore these problems. But also not to be overwhelmed by them. I still want to do every single thing I can to make the world a wonderful, beautiful, exciting place." —Laurie in @NoiseyMusicnoisey.vice.com/en_uk/article/…
