They were picked on by the so called music critics for using the line ' used to be some shops' but what they were expressing is how simple life was and then the girls come in, quite hard I have to say " is where the snipers sometimes hide" that sends shivers, can you imagine living in that kind of fear. Phil had a friend in Lebanon who would send him art work and communicate to him of the atrocities and that's when he made this song

Still, I've loved this song since I first heard it in 1984 and I always will.
