Wow no comments yet for this tune! I'd love for someone to have an idea about what its about, there aren't many lyrics so you'd think it would be easier (or maybe its just me being clueless...probable). The official video to this song also makes it a bit more confusing, the band members appear to be discussing a girl's accident who died in a car crash, then they all seem to get up and throw loads of birthday cake around. I'll try and figure this, even though I'll probably be WAY off the mark: It seems like some kind of comment on the busy and non-stop nature of life. "Buildings come down and buildings come up" - Buildings are always being demolished or built... the skyline around us is always changing, but demolishing and constructing buildings takes a great deal of time. The lyrics would suggest its all a bit more rushed than that though, something which takes a while seems like it doesn't, because life is moving too fast. "Handshakes around we've really run amok" - I have no idea but the use of the word 'amoke' again leans towards a busy, fast crazy life, maybe in this sense based around the decisions we make throughout our life (handshakes - offical sounding) "But Summers no time to get bent out of shape, with parties at 9 and pay-offs at 8" - Still siding with the busy lifestyle theme, this time including the social side of it all, trying to maintain career and social life. “I must say that I feel I’ll be out of place, with trumpets that fly and memories that race” — He/She can’t keep up with the present (the party) or the past (memories), and it’s unsettling. “The telephone rings it just rings and rings” — A reference possibly to when people are too busy to pick up the phone, so it just keeps ringing and ringing. “I’ve got no time I’ve got to get going. I’ve got to get going (repeat” — The biggest reasoning for why I think the song is about the mad rush of life. The fact its repeated almost suggests that he or she doesn’t even have the time to get going, like when you really need to leave a party to catch a train but people keep stopping you to talk. Maybe this would explain the car-crash reference. It could be a grim analogy into how busy a life the victim led and suddenly it caused her to crash. Like our minds, when full to the brim, might suddenly just explode, and maybe we need moment to pause. Hmmm, I think I'll just stick to listening to the song and enjoying the tune! |

Great song!! Couple of tiny mistakes in these lyrics though... *Infamy, infamy, you've got it in for me and what's left of all those empty threats *Hold tight the oar and when you get back to shore... *Attention, attention, did I mention all the faults of your friends..... |

| Mates of State – Beautiful Dreamer Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is my favourite from the new album. Absolutely amazing. For me, and I'm probably wrong, its about seizing the day. "We'll be so sorry if we were on the verge of death and we'd missed out the great opportunities life offered us" | |
| The Delgados – Child Killers Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I can't believe no ones commented this song yet, its amazing. Great song to listen to when you're in a shite mood. I think its generally about life being hard, how our only escape is the inevitable (death) | |

| I'd like to believe the Laika reference is about the dog sent into space, for some reason that just makes the song a lot more magical to me. Makes me feel really sad and scared I guess, thinking about all those lost projects that are floating in space... | |

this song is my favourite from the new album! it rocks. Sounds to me like its about a failed relationship, they didn't spend enough time together. Not sure though. |

| This song is so beautiful. To me personally its about all the people I've ever wanted but could never have.I could hear their voices in my head but I could never be with them. | |

| The 4 or so minute long piano piece at the end of this song on the LP is amazing | |
