Paul Weller hated the popular afternoon tv programme "countdown" especially the "numbers" game, hence Away from the numbers! Simple but effective.Genius!

TO be a bit more serious, it's basically about individuality and 'finding yourself'. Which I think is farily obvious anyway.

The thing about Countdown can't be true because the programme didn't start until 1982, but the song Away From The Numbers is from the 1977 album In The City.
