Текст песни This Is No Rehearsal

"This Is No Rehearsal" is a mixture of semi-acoustic segments with desperate vocals and heavy metal raves, this number was already played live during the 1998 European tour. Steven Wilson said of "This Is No Rehearsal": "This song was directly inspired by a tragic UK event a few years ago. A child was taken from a shopping mall while his mother was momentarily distracted and was later found dead and tortured near a railway track. The most disturbing thing about the story was that the two abductors/murderers turned out to be children themselves."
