“Good morning, the worm, your honour. The crown will plainly show the prisoner who now stands before you, was caught red-handed showing feelings. Showing feelings of an almost human nature. This will not do!!”

The album ‘The Wall’ by Pink Floyd was an import musical watershed to me in my as a teenage years. Pink Floyd’s lyrics were the first I had experienced which went beyond the simple and typical ideas of love and romance and acknowledged a deeper and often more uncomfortable aspect of human emotions.

Although not as high as the wall I had once imagined, the razor and barbed wire of this adorned wall in Bowden Adelaide send a similar message.
