Whenever I've listened to this song, I got the idea that the protaganist that Stuart Murdoch is singing about was a boy, hence the lines
"you’re off for a week boy"
" Smarter than most boys"
But I completely agree with the interpretation that this song is about growing up isolated and dreaming of leaving it all behind.
