The album art and color scheme are fascinating. I have the original embossed cover.

Brilliant lyrics throughout.

He put up a barbed wire fence
To keep out the unknown
And on every metal thorn
Just a little blood of his own
She patrols that fence of his
To a Latin drum
And the hissing of summer lawns

Great selection of songs & the band behind her were total killers.
