What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
And in the last days of the world of plastic records
2
He takes the car into town
3
He hears the voices of salvation through the static
4
Just turns the volume down
5
A chain link fence round a boarded up arcade
6
Towers of glass that petroleum has made
7
But he wouldn't have been born
8
At any other moment in the world
9
And in the morning he will hear the silver kettle
10
Calling him out of his sleep
11
The world outside goes by in plastic and in metal
12
He's got his secrets to keep
13
The daily news forms a pattern on TV
14
Violence first, then a cat stuck up a tree
15
But he wouldn't have been born
16
At any other moment in this world
17
One o'clock and the office empties out
18
He watches as they pass
19
Nostalgic for something intangible
20
A time that never was
21
There is a crack along the plaster in the kitchen
22
It forms the shape of her face
23
Just for a moment he will trace it with his finger
24
One day he'll paint her away
25
He sees her now - she's got a clean white shirt on
26
She's someone he'd just love to get the dirt on
27
And she couldn't have been born
28
At any other moment in the world
