Stornoway – Here Comes the Blackout...! Lyrics 14 years ago
The third verse is a reference to the story of the little match girl by Hans Christian Andersen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Match_Girl. She doesn't kill herself but freezes to death. I don't really get the connection to the terrorist themes of the rest of the song though!

I always assumed that it was Petersburg, referring to St Petersburg in Russia, but the original story doesn't seem to have had any particular setting as far as I can tell.

Stornoway – Zorbing Lyrics 14 years ago
Just a correction - it's "the streets of Cowley", not "the streets of Cali" - Cowley is the part of Oxford from which the band comes.
