The songs as sequenced on the "High Civilization
mixes" tell a story of "secret love" that might be all in the
singer's head and secret from the girl too. He hesitates one moment and speaks
explicitly the next, but is he telling her what the feels. The contradictions
give the story a dreamlike effect of details shifting while the singer's feelings
remain consistent. The only song that does not fit is the dystopian political
title song, unless it expresses the singer's anger and confusion with the world
as he feels things are all falling apart. He then casts it all as a romantic
tragedy, before finally proposing that maybe even the girl being in love with
someone else does not mean the end of it.
Both High Civilization and Size Isn't Everything were the
only post-RSO era albums not to feature concert dates in the US, presumably due
to health issues with Barry Gibb and lackluster record sales. -wiki
