There seems to be some discussion about whether this song is ironic or not. I think it\'s both and it\'s intended that way. It reflects the naivety of living the ideal suburban life, and in a way it also celebrates that naivety. The comfort of conformity, while being aware that it\'s artificial. A theme that often returns in Byrne\'s lyrics.
