On a historical note, I'm not sure about verse 3. The amazing thing about that time was that after all those years of repression, everything came down without any resistance, and everyone was united in thinking it was a Good Thing. The unthinking optimism is what I remember from back then. Sadly I was still at school (age 16-17) when it all happened so I wasn't free to head over there - had I been at uni at the time, I would have been over there like a shot.
