about

Part three of a rather whimsical and bizarre vision of the end of the world and the unlikely hero summoned to try and prevent it. In this part, the world is menaced by a giant, flying smiley face of the kind usually associated with LSD. The final showdown takes place in the ruins of a fish'n'chip bar.

I was particularly pleased with the minimoog lines on this song.

lyrics

Let's cut to Nanchester, where the end of the world is nigh
Reports are... a giant Acid face... Descending from the sky...
The Face floated around, cruising over town
And all who saw its Withering Smile fell dead

I called the old man up and I asked him for a clue
He said it was our hero's job to work out what to do
I sighed and said to Bob we didn't have a plan
Belatedly I wondered why I'd come to trust this crazy mad old man

Bob was the only man that the Face could do no harm
Its smile just gave him headaches but not one of us was armed
I called Bob back into this hiding-place I'd found
It was a chip shop and the deep-fat fryer still seemed to be sound

Hey old man, why is doom so near? Tell me just what it is you fear?
“His friends all call him 'Tim' but to his foes he is Baklawa Doom!”

Bob threw a fish, in polystyrene dish
It struck the Face which broke and we were saved.

IDiocracy - 2022 Remaster

"There is lambswool under my naked feet..." - those words always come to my mind while listening to the first bars of "Wide Of The Mark". There's undoubtedly quite some "Genesis" heritage to be found in the music on this album. However, the band that is most closely related to "The ID" is certainly "IQ", which is among the favorite bands and artists named by both Peter Albrektsen (gtr, kbd) and Tim Pepper (v, kbd). So the similarity of the names "ID" vs. "IQ" is obviously not purely coincidental. Being a long-time admirer of the creative output of "IQ", this album inevitably reaches my heart. Sven B.
