Yes, it's "faced with reality, I chose frivolity",and earlier "faced with banality, I chose calamity". And of course it "boarded" not "borded". And "hear that some of them..." not "year". And "remedies" not "remidies". And not "conform it" but "come from it". And wherever it says "the city" it should be "this city". I won't waste time with the spelling mistakes; they're obvious to anyone who is awake while reading.
Amazing it took that long for this to get corrected. Fabulous song from the late Delgados' brilliant last album: glad to see even the illiterate can love it. The city in question is Motherwell in Lanarkshire, south of Glasgow, an industrial hellhole nicknamed Steelopolis. It's where Alun Woodward and the super cute Emma Pollock hail from, and at bottom the song's about the kind of ambivalence we can all relate to, whether towards a city, a person or whatever we love and hate at the same time. The lines about calamity and frivolity are the Delgados at their freaking best.
