Lyric discussion by groenteboer 

Nice story telecasterthommy, it's quite plausible I think. The way I see it is that the towercrane driver in some way lost his touch with normal life. With his wife for instance: "I must have been working the ropes When your hand slipped from mine"

I like this song alot. Another beauty of the Seldom Seen Kid album.
