"Don't Answer Me"

---&---

I listened to Ammonia Avenue to-day, and I noticed a small lyrical thing about the chorus in "Don't Answer Me":

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

I'm pretty sure that the "stay on your island" part is a reference to and an extension of John Donne's "No man is an island."
