That's how I've always read the song, anyway. FWIW, another song that at first sight appears to be anti-Liz but turns out to be anti-Thatcher is Marty Willson-Piper's "Evil Queen of England". >PS at dinner tonight my young daughter, who had just seen a show on the >world's tallest person, asked me who the world's fattest person was.

OK, here's a lovably idiotic thread: Who's the fattest man you've ever seen perform? For me, I'd have to guess it's either David Thomas, D. Boon or the brothers in Screaming Trees. Runners-up: Greg Lake and Frank Black.

Of course, this doesn't do a thing to support your position, beyond pointing out another Alice Cooper fan.... "Entertaining"...whew.

For me it would have to the second guitarist in the band Dodi which opened for Frank Black in Seattle 2 or 3 years ago. This guy was like 5'4 and maybe 400-450. His guitar looked like a little toy on him. I have been made to feel so small by such a short person, and im 6'3 300lbs myself.
