Album of the week - The Police (Ghost In The Machine)

It is and I think the video was banned at the time because of it (although I may be wrong).
Great song:

One, two, three, four, five, six
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
Looking at the barrel of an Armalite
I don't want to spend the rest of my days
Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say
I don't want to spend my time in hell
Looking at the walls of a prison cell
I don't ever want to play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done
It's dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with me head caved in
Looking like something that the cat brought in
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done
And they're only going to change this place
By killing everybody in the human race
They would kill me for a cigarette
But I don't even wanna die just yet
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

The line of not playing the part of a statistic on a government chart is one of my favourite lines from a song ever. I meant to write earlier that I think the BBC banned the video at the time due to the narrow-minded view of the song's supposed political overtones.
