Dans l'introduction, Abd Al Malik ironise sur le texte de sa propre chanson “Gibraltar”, sortie 13 ans plus tôt, dans laquelle il parlait d'un jeune noir qui aspirait à réaliser son rêve de rejoindre l'Europe.

En 2019, cependant, le rêve, même après avoir passé Gibraltar, a plus des allures de cauchemar qu'autre chose.

The song’s expansive instrumental introduction includes sound clips taken from on of Winston Churchill’s most famous speeches, usually titled “We shall fight on the beaches”.

Texaco (initialement le nom d'une firme pétrolière américaine) est le pseudo du manager et responsable promo de Fabe à l'époque.

This very line is sung in almost the exact same melody as George Gershwin’s gigantic jazz classic “Summertime”.

The lyric itself also strongly resembles the first line of “Summertime”.

Summertime, and the living is easy

For reference, “Summertime” as sung by Ella Fitzgerald.

Part 10 shortly returns to Part 4’s atmosphere, to then shift back to Parts 1 & 3’s scheme, making it a return to the main theme of the song for a coda finale.

This process makes it so that Parts 3 and 10 (main theme of the song) are connected through Part 4 to the bulk of Parts 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10, which can be seen as a long departure from the main theme.

Part 3 marks the return to the main theme of “One Of Those Days In England” (the first track of the album and implicit Part 1), which will only then come back with Part 10.
