Cover art for Montague Terrace (In Blue) lyrics by Scott Walker

Montague Terrace is in Brooklyn, but no idea why it's blue. This song's always seemed a bit pretentious, so I imagine there's something bigger going on that just a night spend waiting around. Like ... they're stuck in a post-apocalyptic wasteland ('the little clock's stopped ticking') and remembering places that have been destroyed. (Fist filled with illusions, etc.)

Of course, it could be something simpler, like waiting for summer and a better time to leave the apartment. But... I'm pretentious, too.
