Lyric discussion by stoolhardy 

I imagine that Chrissie wrote this song when she saw a photo of an old lover. It reminds her of how happy things seemed back in those days and how the rat race has driven them apart and forced them apart.

I always thought that the line was "Conformity and the the news of the world" not "The phone, the TV and the news of the world." The true lyrics make more sense.
