is it true that this rather gayish song that I've just been listening to on Youtube is ACTUALLY a protest song against the totalitarion regime under Margaret Thatcher in 1980's Britain.
can anyone shed any light on this rumour. it doesnt seem to fit with the gayish words...

Land Of Make Believe was a UK #1 single for Bucks Fizz in January 1982.
Produced by Andy Hill and written by Andy Hill and ex King Crimson member Peter Sinfield it was Bucks Fizz's second of three UK #1 singles, staying at the top for two weeks in January 1982. Despite the apparent sugar-coated style of the song Sinfield has later claimed it was a subtle attack on Margaret Thatcher and her government's policy at the time.
Land Of Make Believe
Written by Andy Hill/Peter Sinfield
Stars in your eyes little one
Where do you go to dream
To a place we all know
The land of make believe
Shadows tapping at your window
Ghostly voices whisper
Will you come and play
Not for all the tea in China
Or the corn in Carolina
Never, never ever
They're running after you babe
Run for the sun little one
You're an outlaw once again
Time to change
Superman will be with us while he can
In the land of make believe
Something nasty in your garden's waiting
Patiently 'til it can have your heart
Try to go but it won't let you
Don't you know it's out to get you
Running, keep on running
They're running after you babe
Run for the sun little one
You're an outlaw once again
Time to change
Superman will be with us while he can
In the land of make believe
Your world is turning from night to day
Your dream is burning far, far away
Into the blue, you and I
To the circus in the sky
Captain Kidd's on the sand
With the treasure close at hand
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
Run for the sun little one
You're an outlaw once again
Time to change
Superman will be with us while he can
In the land of make believe
Run for the sun little one
You're an outlaw once again
Time to change
Superman will be with us while he can
In the land of make believe
(Run for the sun, run for the sun)
I've got a friend who comes to tea
And no one else can see but me
He came today, but had to go
To visit you
You'll never know
