Strongly interested and outspoken about green anarchism issues the band have built up a strong and devoted fanbase, despite being nearly universally ignored by mainstream critics. The band have been spokespeople for a number of issues including campaigning against the Criminal Justice Act (and its measures against rave parties) and various anti-capitalist and environmental issues. They continue to tour extensively around Britain and Europe but maintain a mutual dislike with the music press which stems from their early days.
Invisible
Levellers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little hung over maybe
Have you seen my head
Has anybody seen my head
Just when did I become invisible
Tell me when did I become invisible
So sorry officer,
But have you seen my legs
Has anybody seen my legs
Just when did I become invisible
Can you tell me when I became invisible
I can walk through walls
Even through lives
Nobody notices my disguise
But tell me when did I become invisible
I was here yesterday
I'm sure I was here yesterday
Do you remember my face
Please remember my face
Just when did I become invisible
Telll me when did I become invisible
I can walk through walls
Even through lives
Nobody notices my disguise
But tell me when did I become invisible
