I've no idea why they chose to rip off a two bob punk band.
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing

This is just so heartfelt and majestic, maybe the most English song ever written. My favourite moment is when the lead vocal gets drowned out by what looks like 9 foot high trumpet at 1:16.

And I'm sure Ray is sincere about what the lyrics say, but I love how he's not capable of laying down a vocal that sounds earnest. That double meaning, piss taking sound enriches all their songs and makes em sound much more modern than most of their mainstream 60s peers.
