I'm guessing here but this is the LP that really broke the Furs big time with a label that pushed the hell out of this release. They played all the nighttime talk shows and toured all over the world. I think the song relates to Richard Butler's growing discomfort over their soon-to-be worldwide fame:
<I might make history
Or or throw it all away>
and:
<I'm a town full of strangers
Of big time and lies> - all the PR smoke blown up their ass. Their manager told them they'd be as big as the Cure but it didn't happen.
<And words don't come close
When your sweet dreams get lonely>
This is the album the Furs all but disowned.
