Iain M. Banks Quote
Though. Our Azadian friends are always rather nonplussed by our lack of a flag or a symbol, and the Culture rep here—you’ll meet him tonight if he remembers to turn up—thought it was a pity there was no Culture anthem for bands to play when our people come here, so he whistled them the first song that came into his head, and they’ve been playing that at receptions and ceremonies for the last eight years. I thought I recognized one of the tunes they played, Gurgeh admitted. The drone pushed his arms up and made some more adjustments. Yes, but the first song that came into the guy’s head was ‘Lick Me Out’; have you heard the lyrics? Ah. Gurgeh grinned. That song. Yes, that could be awkward. Damn right. If they find out they’ll probably declare war. Usual Contact snafu.
