The Bronze Medal Lyrics

Cover art for The Bronze Medal lyrics by Idlewild

I've always thought this song is about Scotland and its relationship to the rest of the UK (i.e. coming third to england and wales/NI)...

"You were always going to be like this When you’re somewhere that’s as cold as this" - Scotland is cold!

"Looking down on the fire place" - Looking down (geography-wise) at England

I could be wrong... :)

It's "looking down on the 3rd place", hence why it is called the BRONZE medal.
