Behind the Songs: No Tears

A quote from Richard Butler on the song "No Tears".


Richard Butler (on being asked what the demonstrations mentioned in the first verse meant): "Demonstrations in the sixties. It's a comparison between then and now, a kind of sad look back. The Weathermen (US anarchists) don't say anything these days, they fight with the Black Panthers and the White Panthers. Recently two Weathermen were shot dead by the police." (Sounds 1981 [German magazine])
