Creek" which runs adjacent to the River Thames; and "Passing Through" about the building of a motorway through an area where Frank lived whilst growing up. "Bethnal Green Tube Disaster" tells of his Mother's story during the Blitz of London where her father had taken her to the underground station to shelter from the bombing. In the blackout one of her shoes fell off and while searching for it they avoided a terrible event that occurred that night. The panic stricken crowd who were rushing underground tumbled on the stairs and many people were crushed to death. Frank lived in Bethnal Green until he was five years of age. "IKB (RIP)" tells the story of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's death. Brunel is buried at Kensal Green next to the Grand Union canal. The main single released from the album was "The Liberty Tree". The video of "The Liberty Tree" was filmed at Mudchute Farm on the Isle of Dogs. This is the same location where the cover artwork was shot of Frank riding a horse in front of Canary Wharf. The video was directed by Frank Tovey and Derrek Santini. "The Liberty Tree" throws up a couple odd coincidences. The history of The Liberty tree comes from America. The British made the Liberty Tree an object of ridicule. Soldiers tarred and feathered a man named Ditson, and forced him to march in front of the tree. Americans would hang British officers in effigy form from the tree. Frank often appeared tarred and feathered (Gag album cover) and also wrote and sang many lyrics about hanging ("Sam Hall") just a coincidence I am sure.
