 The lyricist cannot remember writing " White Snake " and did not know there was a band of the same name in existence . " Focker " evolved out of a demo , called " 6 / 8 Focker " , Eastgate sang through a guitar amp with initially indecipherable lyrics . " The Enemy Are the Future " gets its name from a sentence in a promotional leaflet for the indie rock band The Enemy . Eastgate has explained that for " Mad Dogs and Englishmen " he randomly " shouted lots of short phrases " and then tried to make sense of what he said . The process led to stylised lines like " Falling over aeroplanes and wanting to be a derelict " .
