This Fine Social Scene Lyrics
Blossom-lipped ladies and men with a gleam in their eyes
Fat happy babies sit on their pole-thin mother's thighs
Picture a vow
Picture well
I couldn't see the cracks in this fine social scene
I couldn't find the fault with this whole pantomime
All others laughing, the jokes by the host
He's no man
All others dancing in couples to these social bells
Wearing smiles
Hot colt .45s
I couldn't see the cracks in this fine social scene
I couldn't find the fault with this whole pantomime
Fat happy babies sit on their pole-thin mother's thighs
Picture a vow
Picture well
I couldn't find the fault with this whole pantomime
He's no man
Wearing smiles
Hot colt .45s
I couldn't find the fault with this whole pantomime

Sia is trying to emphasise the plastic-society we live in ("this whole pantomime") to her all of society seems fake.
"Wearing their smiles and colt .45's" would suggest the hypocrisy of our society and the title and hook of this song seems sarcastic.
and is implying a current sight of the cracks and faults signifying change.
"dancing in couples to the social bells"- a metaphor for people adapting to social truths.
I love the music and general beat to this song.
like much of zero 7's songs, it talks about how this world is such a bore with the everyday goings on, and how no one pauses enough to blink and look at the bigger picture
