    From Kimberley Rew's website [kimberleyrew.com]: As the new decade began we ventured to Pat Collier's 4-track Alaska studios, located in a dripping tunnel near London's Waterloo station- still there, with the same cigarette burns on the same sofa. (It's long since gone 24-track, stopped dripping and has been home to many hit recordings). This was a one-man operation in the truest sense- ie there were other employees but they didn't actually do anything. Pat would frequently record the band in filthy overalls (Pat, not the band) having just installed a false ceiling or something. A welcome feature was the La Ronde across the street where one could get nourishing bread pudding- this was later demolished to make way for the Jubilee Line tube extension (the La Ronde not the bread pudding). We recorded Queen of Eyes, Kingdom of Love, I Wanna Destroy You (please note this last is a parody of punk, not punk itself).

    Absolute classic! I remember Robyn dedicating it to Bush when he had just been "elected".

    Last.fm should have an option stronger than just loving this track, because I would click the hell out of that option for this song.

    "And when I have destroyed you I'll come pickin' at your bones And you won't have a single atom Left to call your own" Powerful words, but a not relationship gone sour song, as it might first appear, but an anti-war protest.
