"Sing Blue Silver" may be a similar reference to the "Droning engine". Rolls Royce had an entire "Silver" line of cars; Silver Spur, Silver Cloud, etc., and it may be possible that he's referring to the musical sound of the car, or its engine. For those of us who are automotive afficionados, the sounds of a finely tuned powerplant operating at high RPMs is, indeed, music.
The "glass splinters" passage clearly suggests deep emotional trauma, betrayed by her expressions, and progressive rejection of the singer/writer.
Or, it could all mean that Simon and the boys got together and said; "...hey, mates, this is going to sound bloody good - let's use it, even if it doesn't mean a thing...", which is what I've got my money on......
Either way, it's a very beautiful, elegant, and haunting song, which I would often play when I would take drives in the country with my college lover (who liked the song, even though she wasn't a Duran fan), in my '67 Corvette convertible.

Something else that could point towards the Rolls Royce's is the line
"My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze" referring to the Lady of Extacy on the hood of every RR.
