When I was at a gig at the Head of Steam in Newcastle, Paul Smith told us the song was about the boring and small things that go on in life, and take up your thoughts while something bigger is going on!
This leads me to make another interpretation of the song!
Maybe, the smaller picture is; someone getting run down (whether thats taken as run down by a car / some other form of transport, or just feeling run down), and karaoke playing (something you can often hear on the streets of the area!!)
and the bigger picture is the partner of the person focusing on the smaller things wanting to leave!
