Brilliant track! Proved there was still lots of life left in the old dogs!
To me a it's a song about builders on skyscrapers in big cities. How do those buildings get put up? Someone has to be up there, riviting girders together before the rest of the structure gets added, hundreds up feet up in the air with nothing except maybe a tether line to stop you falling to your death on the streets below. It might have been written about 1920's and 1930's America when cities where screaming up a huge rate but could equally apply to today with buildings that are much taller than back then, even more dangerous to a 1,000 ft in the air.
