IMO this is Hawkwind at their worst - certainly on audio tape it is
(in honesty I don't actually remember what the video looks like) but
the words are basically Nik (I think) chanting "You put it in at the
front - you sh**t it out at the rear".

I should point out that the ** means I can't decide whether
it's shoot or shit.    I don't suppose it matters overmuch.
