I was wondering about that as well. Perhaps he really wanted a Chapman stick,
but had to make do with a broom handle as they'd already blown the budget on the
rest of their gear! The lyrics are excruciatingly bad, at least to a native
English speaker, which is a shame as I really like the music. They continued
with nonsense lyrics though, as the two main members went on to form Underworld
whose "Born Slippy" has a strange shouted / chanted vocal that's also defies
interpretation.
