Another World Lyrics

Cover art for Another World lyrics by Joe Jackson

I take it as a happy song about someone who starts off depressed or down, and then unexpectedly meets a new group of friends or possibly a support group where he feels like it's another world. Rehab perhaps? or a really good party?

I'm pretty sure this song is about the first time Joe went to New York City in the early 80s, which sets the backdrop for the rest of the album.
