i wonder if they're talking about U2 Rattle and Hum when they say "and we don't want to talk about Elvis Presley". i think i read somewhere way back then that they were.... and i wonder what the significance of them saying that is.

Much of the song is about anti American ideals.
No buffalo out on the plains of Australia- don't want any
Don't want to see his white shoes walking around over here is a slam not against Elvis but against the self righteous American
burn it clean is referring to nuke power (clean burn) to power all the malls in the US

They were dancing on the plain, and didn't see any buffalo.. probably because it was US policy in the 1800's to kill all the buffalo in order to starve the indigenous people in the plains.. if indeed this is a song about traveling across the US.. then that is what makes sense. they can't see any buffalo in the 1980's if they're all still gone.. buffalo were not reintroduced until the 2000's

i have not been able to find anything definitive, but my best guess about this song is it's about traveling through the US and can't wait to get back to their country.. rather than romanticizing the US. i don't know what "in a toy town" means. that would probably confirm that. there are a few US towns called "Toy". One is near boise and one near Casper.. not sure really what it's all about but I've always loved Garret's lyrics. The man reads, he talsk to people and he doesn't bullshit or romanticize.

maybe they were travelling across America like U2 was in their movie... maybe it was a tour.
