Details

• The song is about walking around a busy city with nothing to do. Everyone else is rushing while you saunter and you feel separate. It feels quite lonely as if she wants to be a part of the goings on as reflected in lyrics like 'catch my eye, passerby, before I pass through', and 'a familiar stranger will recognise me, will glance my way, see something in me'
  
  

'You can become quite cynical when you're not busy in your head and you just look coldly at the world. That's how I was looking at the world in those moments. I was looking at the fashions in the shop. The lifestyles for sale. The dreams for sale that don't come true.' (Roisin Murphy from Hairless Toys: Track by Track)
