This is admittedly a pretty dorky comic relief number (during the intro Stewart Copeland even says "Wanna hear something really corny? here goes!"), but I kinda like it. Going by the singles you'd never really expect a Police song to feature lines like "My teenage daughter ran away, my fine young son has turned out gay", so that aspect of it is pretty fun. The meaning is pretty obvious: You can have what looks like a pretty comfortable suburban life on the surface, but still have to deal with all kinds of frustrating problems.

the first spoken words I hear are "The other ones are complete bullshit,"
I wonder what that is about? other songs?
