Another fantastic song, this reinforces my interpretation of Nobody Nowhere, this is the story of the same unluckly poor farm gal/servant/slave. I love when the singer hides and lightly pronounces "shit" and speaks it in a first person, like she's really cursing her situation, as if she is actually speaking this in a position of servitude where her boss, or superiors or peers if hearing her will be for ill, meaning our poor fair lady is in a real shit position where saying shit can mean consequences which are highly undesirable. Basically its the story of our "cinderella" the poor provincial/farm/poor girl, who runs away to the big city, for a better life. There is a clapping effect in the middle of the song, and a change of tone, like the welcoming and congradulatory praise of the crowd/audience/city folk, brilliant song, and album, it is an epic musical as an album.
