James - Hey Ma
The band wrote eight pieces in one five-hour spell and a hundred and twenty in total for a record that finally boasts twelve songs that are as good, if not better, than anything James have recorded before.
Hey Ma, the song, features some pretty strong imagery about falling towers and "dust in the air" and is probably as cutely subversive as Country Joe & the Fish singing "1-2-3. What are we fighting for?" although its hugely memorable chorus,'Hey Ma, the boys in body bags,' is, if anything, more shocking for the jaunty way in which it is delivered. Booth concedes that "it could have been a great pop song" by which i think he means a great single, as it's already a great song - "if it weren't for the lyric." He also admits that "protest songs don't work for me - I just like things with a weird edge!" although he could just as easily be talking about another song called Upside that Booth wrote about immigrant labour trying to provide for their families back home.
