well i know the bull and the bear refer to the two different types of market conditions.. ..and i really like the idea of a deeper meaning so here goes: REM prolly uses the story of a shipping dept. worker, this man of the late shift, to emphasize the idea that society is non-stop. We are an anxiety ridden ppl, which i think was said earlier, and we tend to lose sight of the romanticism after the industrialized era... I may not agree with "pro-romanticism" and i dont really like REMs "soft" style but this song sounds amazing and the is, as much of REMs work has been, lyrical and poetic.
