Another of Ray's songs about the futility of life. This is similar to "She Bought A Hat Like Princess Marina" from ARTHUR. Basically the main character in the song lives in a fantasy world of musicals on TV. She doesn't have a particularly good or exciting life on her own so she lives through this perfect world of old MGM musicals and classic movies.
The line should be "built 'fore the industrial revolution." The 'fore meaning before. She lives in an old decrepit house. Her life is terrible so she needs an escape.
