"Planes"

Because yester-day was Colin Blunstone's birthday, I listened to the somewhat recent reissue of Planes and Never Even Thought on a single CD.  I'm not sure if this is entirely necessary, but I wanted to write a post to point out the allusion to Cervantes' Don Quixote in "Planes."  I can't make out all of the lyrics, but one of the later verses has "...traces of old Don Quixote / Tilting giants on imaginary hills."  If I remember it correctly, in Don Quixote, the title character reads so many stories about knights that he can no longer distinguish between fiction and reality and, thinking that he himself is a knight, goes off on an adventure.  He goes into battle against windmills because he perceives them as giants.  This is the specific event that "Planes" references.
