We'll Deal With You Later
Revolutionary Reflections: Decoding The Beautiful South's Provocative Lyrics
Lyrics
Revolutions come and go but we'll just have to wait
Revolutions happen cyclically, but action must wait
The time is nigh to sit and plot exactly who you hate
The time is approaching to plan whom to despise
Sirens in the neighbourhood
Alerts in the vicinity
The gun must be misunderstood
The gun’s purpose might be misunderstood or misused
A warden in a pool of blood
A figure of authority in a problematic situation
The palace laugh and so they should
The powerful laugh, perhaps at a dire situation
Across the world in every coup a thousand guns without a clue
In global upheavals, many guns wielded recklessly
If only all the people knew, they've got their sight set up on you
People unaware they are being targeted
Every war is always cursed
Wars always bring uncertainty and pain
With "just who do you shoot at first?"
The dilemma of choosing targets in conflict
Think real hard and think Sandhurst
Suggesting military education for strategic thinking
Take an officer he's the worst
Officers considered the worst
Governments will rise and fall but royalty's still there
Political systems may change, but monarchy endures
Don't worry if it's Queen or Duke try scything down the pair
Encouraging defiance even against powerful figures
And if you class the palace staff as devil's advocator
Viewing palace staff as adversaries
Just put them in an incubator and we'll deal with them later
Suggesting isolating them for later judgment
Just a little bit later
Delaying action or judgment
We'll deal with you later
Reiterating the delay in dealing with issues
Just put them in an incubator and we'll deal with them later
Repeating the idea of isolating for later judgment
Just throw them to the alligators and we'll deal with them later
Suggesting extreme measures against adversaries
So be wary of the liquidator
Cautioning against those who liquidate assets or problems
'cause we'll deal with you later
Assurance of delayed consequences
Just put them in a liquidator
Using liquidation as a metaphor for judgment
And we'll deal with you later
Reiterating the delayed consequences through metaphor
We'll deal with you later.
Confirmation of delayed action or consequences
