Lyric discussion by Twister62 

Ok, I have an unusual interpretation of this song. I did 2 weeks work experience at a first school a couple of years ago when I bought this album ( fumbling towards ecstasy ) and I had this song in my head on my last day there. I'm not a huge "kid-person" but I was really moved by all of the pictures I recieved from all of these 5 yr olds saying how much they loved me and were going to miss me. This song reflects the childish innocence of comparing feelings to treats such as chocolate and ice-cream and reflects how I was reminded that it really is a "long way down to the place where we started from", meaning that few people can recapture the innocence of being a child once they've lost it.

Wow. your comment really moved me. I'm about to start my teaching career with Kinders and i can just completely relate to understand what you say here.
