As David Alban said the song is about the change in the world from 1900-2000s
and the title is the biggest hint.
The song is simply about growing into the changing trends in the world and how time is moving so fast. Its all about getting accustomed to change in the new world, hence the lyrics "The world is spinning too fast" and "Get the cool shoeshine"
I think the song is actually quite simple.

IMO.
@Anidubey You have a very good answer. I'd just to like add that his name is Damon Albarn, not David Alban.
