1. Reminds me of a 70's play in NYC: "No Sex Please, We're British"

4. Don't be silly...
...It's about the expulsion of Weishaupt's Illuminati from Bavaria in 1785...

6. That's stupid.
That's what "People are People" was about.

Depeche Mode.

...The annexation of the Golan Heights? Or am I thinking of Ultravox's "Vienna"? I can never remember.

7. its about sex
like "wake me up before you go go, cause I ain't planning on going solo"

he seems to be saying "direct you sexual energy into something productive."

When you want to suck to it
Relax don't do it
When you want to come
Come-oh oh oh

But shoot it in the right direction
Make making it your intention-ooh yeah
Live those dreams
Scheme those schemes
Got to hit me
Hit me
Hit me with those laser beams
