This song is about how having a life in the city earning a reasonable salary may be ok but is not good enough. It implies that 9 to 5 life is menial and unfulfilling. A lot of the songs on the album ar like this and what I like about this song is that it has a chirpy tune. Not dissimilar to The Smiths' "Panic", it makes a serious reflection on life, but does it an almost eerily chirpy fashion.
