It closes side one of Sheet Music at 2:45 and describes the final minute of a countdown to the detonation of a bomb aboard a jumbo jet. Gouldman told the Guardian in 2012 that no one else would write a song about a bomb on an airplane from the position of the bomb, and used it as an example of why he did not want 10cc filed under prog or art rock.
