one of my favorite songs of all time.
it seems to be a cry out for more freedom, relaxed atmosphere, more relaxed society, and freedom of expression. the band is expressing their dislike of the crowded, busy, grumpy society with traffic jams and crowded trams.
"they told me time is of the essence
no wandering allowed"
'they' i belive to be society in general, telling him to always be doing something productive and denying them being able to do what they want to 'wandering'
'our houses are rectangular
but life is curved not angular'
= objects are definate things which cannot mvoe, but life is not supposed to be like that. it shouldnt be as regulated. it needs more flexebility
'rain still falls on the halls of power'
= bad thigns still happen to the elite, depression etc. it is not like a utpotia you should spend your entire life working hard for to achieve. they are telling us to do more what we want to in life.
oh and anyone know where 'st. kilda' is? i am guessing it is a beach where you can lie down and relax.
well if this is what they mean i am completely agreeing with them, which is one of the reasons i like this song so much
