Wire–Dot Dash

Wire, Dot Dash, 7″ record cover

Intensified by its morse code choruses, punk band Wire’s 2nd single Dot Dash carries the discomfiting image of an aircraft getting lost in bad weather, losing sight of city lights below.

Mist closing in, getting thicker
One drops out, becoming quicker
Lights grow dim, they glimmer
The chances smaller, the odds are slimmer
