It's a song about a stereotypical art college student, who is trying his/her best to be alternative. They tick all the boxes - David Lynch, in a band who play "crazy" instruments, appreciation for Man Ray and the 4AD record label.
The band's songs sound more twee/C86 than anything though. Not really sure what David Dundass has got to do with anything or why he's got no rock cakes, maybe Nigel Blackwell just thought it sounded good. And rightly so.
