i think the sound and the subject actually match up -- it's (partly) about coventry becoming a ghost town, after all, so it's mourning something no one else much cares about (and would have found ALREADY lamely provincial, even before its decline)

think of it as an answer song to "small town boy", which has a much more striking, defiant sound but with a weirdly nasty backtaste (at least to this small town boy) -- i am just more ambivalent than lex abt how the metropolitan is better than elsewhere

i almost always love terry h's voice when attached to dammers's way with near-muzak carny-organ -- i think there's an interestingly unusual relationship to NOT ecaping

(it's also about TWO TONE and ska becoming a ghost town of course)
