Blondie – Slow Motion Lyrics 3 years ago
Agreed, it's awesome. Extremely infectious melody that can play and play in my head for months until something else takes over. Very intriguing lyrics. Such a shame so few comments, was it never a single? That might go some way toward explaining, I think this and Union City Blue top my Blondie list.

I'm only playing around here, but I like to think...just going through it...

Commotion - nightclub/drug house overdose situation, with inevitable panic
Boy in the back - of ambulance?
Second attack - of the heart?
Wants baby back - wants life back, wants his girlfriend's life back, she's got problems of her own...
Quaking - shaking?
Belly ache - too many pills?
Can't concentrate - you bet.
Pick up the beat - pulse? lack of it?
Vapour - drifting away from the body, ghost/spirit?
Catch...hands - desperate gesticulating, unable to speak
Take me back - back to life, to be together again?
Beat, shine - pulse restarting, colour in the cheeks?
World slows...stops - strange things happen to time perception when pulse stops.
Number, eyes, magician - ? mystical visions as life slides away?
And onward in similar vein.

As I said, only playing here, I wonder if anyone else has thought this way.
