I played this song over and over when I was working in a drama filled Radiology Dept. in North Carolina. It was one of those intriguing work environments where you went to work wondering if you still had a job there, and left thinking the same. Singing this song in my head, under my breath kept me sane. Several resident Radiologists on the evening shift also played this loud in the relative safety of their cubby holes (viewing rooms).
Is that a thing? Thats the high point of going to visit my mum and bro down by the sea, going for a smoke on the beach, there's actually a genre for the beach? Cant be, lush and errr at the same Time😃👍
That is not a “car” that is the one and only (well, maybe not only) Monkee Mobile designed by George Barris!😎 czcams.com/video/tTnCPSYEQFA/video.htmlsi=wFcQDpaquCZS8xiq
See! The Sisters of Mercy cruise through the wasteland of Wilmington, Long Beach, Signal Hill and Santa Monica! See! The Sisters of Mercy drive The Monkee Mobile originally driven by the pre-fab four themselves! See! The Sister of Mercy perform Black Planet from their last good album The First The Last and Always!
I don't think I'd be wrong if I said this was about man's dependency on oil and destruction of the environment: the car with the turbocharger, oil wells, oil refineries, piles of waste... black planet. Sisters way ahead of the game as always.
To me, it's a reaction to a visit to Los Angeles (where I live), but you could be right....(I don't even care if I'm replying to an 8 year old comment.)

LYRICS :
In the western sky
My kingdom come
So Still so dark all over Europe
And the rainbow rises here
In the western sky
The kill to show for
At the end of the great white pier
I see a

Black
Black planet
Black
Black world
(repeat)
Run around in the radiation
Tune in turn on burn out in the acid rain on a…

Black
Black planet
Black
Black world

This song deserves a much better video. For one thing, it should've been set at night.
i think it adds a good contrast
This video couldn't be better. Obviously it went right over your head.
On of their best... Don't like the car though :-)
Because you're gay. It's the Monkeemobile.
💀
monkeemobile
wow that car is ugly
Not as ugly as your face.
Agreed ,but the song rules though
Lol I didn't even notice the car
