This song kind of foreshadows what the Lonesome Crowded West was about, its about how housing developments and strip malls are replacing parks, wildlife and more. Isaac explains his frustration with this and how hypocritical it is that they name the developments after what they destroyed.
[Verse 1]
When I can work out how it was
Then I'll tell you
TV stained my memories, yeah
I don't fit the shoes
[Verse 2]
Remember through sounds
Remember through smells
Remember through colors
Remember through towns
With fear and fascination
On what was here and what's replacing them now
[Verse 3]
Interchanges, plazas and malls
And crowded chain restaurants
More housing developments go up
Named after the things they replace
So welcome to Minnow Brook
And welcome to Shady Space
Well it all seems a little abrupt
No, I don't like this change of pace
