referencing The Red Thread, LP, Chem050

"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but never break."
Ancient Chinese belief, used by Arab Strap here, as an apparent metaphor for sexually transmitted diseases(?)
Arab Strap, or 'Ver Strap' as we fans call them, appear to be back on form, with their heads in the gutter, as usual...
