Chris asks: >Out of curiosity, would any of you know what was Kate's inspiration for that >song? Was it a personal experience or just war in general? I don't know of any specific sources, but I don't think it was personal experience *or* "war in general" that inspired it. It seems to me to have been inspired by various poetry/literature glorifying war and glorifying the idea of dying in arms for one's country. It's a way of brainwashing the youth of a country to become cannon fodder. "Tears o'er a tin box Oh Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know Like a chicken with a fox He cannot win the war with ego."
