Jesus, I know I'm old by the fact that most of the people who have posted about this song don't know anything about it. It's simply about a mindless, violent attack on an individual on his way home. There is no element of race. Only a white person in the UK would go home with a "take away curry". It's a song about pointlessness..... That kind of motiveless violence against a stranger seems almost unique to northern Europe or descendants thereof.

Hey people, this guy/girl is just saying his/her opinion. You seem more violent to him that the skins from the song. :S

To me its about a man laying in a pool of his own blood after having the shit kicked out of him reminiscing on the last few minutes of his life before it happened (maybe he dies maybe not )as well as looking forward to what will happen to his wife - dont think its necessary to read to much more into it but hey music is different for all of us

I´m sorry but I don´t quite get what you want to say. I have listened to the words and I know that one dimension of the song is racism and violence. But I also think that there is another meaning intended. please think before you post something that makes you look like a total idiot.
