Oh You, Old Thing

I think this song is to the sun or maybe the earth, near the end of days on earth, "when all the good men have had all their daughters, and (no more humans reproducing) all the other men have fallen in with daises? (died, decomposed in the ground) I don’t want to be the last one standing, (lonely apocalypse) I don’t want to reach the bitter end.

There will be no one to steam up dancehalls, and no one to put the earths flowers in vases

He is leaving earth's atmosphere in a rocket to live in a space colony "I’ve got a new way to live through the storms you’re so famous for (weather or natural disaster on Earth) Oh, that’s the sound of some new rocket upon the door" (advances in technology/living in space to escape)

looking from space at the sun thinking, "From here, in the sky, I see rows of lights as as violent web. And I will miss the way I got caught up in you."

Maybe its a stretch but its cool imagery to think about pared with the sweet sounds of wolf parade
