"untouched by human hands"...the irony, that anyone would present such a horrific state as something desirable

when I first heard this song, I was working a temp. job in a factory, shrinkwrapping computer manuals. in relatively small numbers. these little manually-operated machines would emit all kinds of crap into the air after they burned the plastic tight around the packages. you couldn't breathe.

the bosses AND the permanent workers treated you well (which is almost unheard of, for temps). we were well paid, also. a well-paid, polite hell.
