Sky, are you sure about "sons?" I saw that on Mick's board originally and just assumed that it was a typo. Reason is that "exploding sons" is a particularly violent and unnecessary image. However, "exploding suns" is part of the lexicon. And as I have discussed in another thread, I believe this song is about war and peace, and that Lindsey was using the missile "Peacekeeper" as inspiration for the sardonic tone of the song. Of course, that is strictly an interpretation independent of any knowledge of what was going on in Lindsey's mind when he wrote the thing.

Maybe he will tell us one of these days.
