Song: Swastika Eyes
Band: Primal Scream
Album: XTRMNTR
Bassist: Mani
Comments: This song is a fine example of what a live bass
player can do with a techno tune. I haven't tabbed out the
'jam' that comes at the end of the song. Essentially he is
playing off of the fills he's used during the rest of the
song with some slides thrown in. It's also wide open for
improv, so shall let you do with it what you will.

	i read somewhere that this song was partially directed at then-us secretary of state madeline albright, and partially deriven from a hallucenation experience in which brian was screaming into a mirror.

	it could be any scrupulous government construct, it's very ambiguous. i prefer it that way, otherwise it'd become way too dated. btw the live in japan version owns

No Picture woody!! Professional	#4 by woody!! woody!! at Apr 21, 1980 at 5:52 PM EST

	An absolutely fantastic song, one i like to play on my iPod when I need pumping up before a difficult meeting. I thought the Isreal idea was interesting. There is potentially a strong reference to the plagues of Egypt which the Isrealites brought down upon Egypt to gain their freedom and create Isreal. Dark the sun was the 10th plague. Parasites was the 3rd plague. Syphillis was the 6th plague. All very biblical anyway. Perhaps Bobby was watching Indiana Jones and the link there to the bible, and the Nazi's having their eyes burnt out inspired the song!

No Picture fasterdisco Average	#6 by fasterdisco at Sep 6, 1991 at 10:56 AM EST
	after "my mind's a weapon immune to infection" it goes "blood in my eyes my vision is clear". great song tho.

No Picture Venti Average	#7 by Venti at Apr 5, 1993 at 6:47 AM EST
	Yep. It has political content, Bobby is saying democracy doesn't have to be democratic at all If your country is lead by assholes.

No Picture Token Rhythm Player	#8 by Token at Sep 25, 2002 at 4:29 AM EST
	Actually boys and girls. the song is a rant against Isreal's government and their current policies. The title claims that the country has lost it's way from what it was originally formed from- a refuge for those who had escaped and suffered from the regime of the Nazis. Bobby is basically comparing Israel with their greatest enemy- the third Reich.
