Eric: The Falklands Follies is a rock opera revolving around the Falklands War between Britain and Argentina.  The album tells the sad tale of two mates shipped off to fight amongst sheep ("They Want the Islands") for a war they didn't understand, encountering doubt ("Three Days"), misadventures, and halfwit shipmates along the way ("Scrubby Nate"), only to wind up with one of them killed ("Where's Eric (Oh My God He's Dead)").
