Of course one of my favourite lines will come from Duran Duran...

From 'The Chauffeur'

What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind?

I love that line because it is so simple yet so descriptive of the woman he is describing. He is saying that there is some past emotional injury that isn't even a scar yet but a constantly open and irritated wound. As though a splinter of glass were wedged in her mind slicing through her thoughts and emotions.

That album, particularly that song, was entirely based on the book "Animal Farm" by George Orwell.

The theme to Animal Farm is based on Stalin and a new regime. However, people were
under the impression a new regime would change everything. However, once the new people took over they turned right around and did the same thing - hence "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

I always liked it when I got a new boss. Yes, it's true!
