| Elbow – The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver Lyrics | 16 years ago |

You could be right about the first couple of lines being literally about getting out of TV and leaving his job. It's like he knows deep down that the job is destroying his soul and he admits to himself that he needs to leave, "Pick a point and go", any direction is better than where he is now. A ticker tape parade is a celebration of some sort where streams of paper fill the air. The ticker tape could refer to the misplaced envy of his colleagues who think he has it made, knowing little about the isolation and alienation that comes with his highly paid role. |
