Cover art for Heart Failed (In The Back Of A Taxi) lyrics by Saint Etienne

I'm not sure about the first two verses, but the second two sound like the writer's dismay at the sacreligious redevelopment taking place in her home town. Her favourite soccer club has been moved away from their spiritual home, the grounds being sold to a PLC (publically limited company - a term we use here in the UK). Meanwhile, historic buildings are being torn down to make way for new flats/shopping centres.
