Excellent analysis. The aloneness and isolation themes would certainly carry over to Street Life.
When I began experiencing The Bogus Man on repeat listens, I came away with the ideas that this was in effect a pop song (as in the Andy Warhol view of pop culture), and the bogus man himself was much like a Dick Tracy villain (especially with the underlying noiresque motif).
Musically, it reminds me of a twisted take/hybrid of Those Were the Days by Mary Hopkin and Alabama Song (The Doors version)...although a much, much better version. Funky, futuristic, mind-expanding. One of their best moments of stretching out and intertwining musicianship.

Robertron, thanks for taking the time to comment. Just posted 'Grey Lagoons' and would be interested in your take - you've got some great insights.
Cheers, have a safe and happy new year!

Hi Kevin
Just read the grey lagoons article. Superb. I believe you've nailed it imho. It now makes complete sense to me. I always felt it was dark and subversive, never taking it on face value. Completely fits on fyp, indeed on side 2.
Similar theme, as you note, to ITIS.
Thanks!
