i definitely think this refers to a now-underwater town, with the lines "in a house draped in net, in a room filled with coral". the coral is not ornamentation, it's sea-growth over the years.. i think this song is a very sad recollection of someone else's memories, someone no-one remembers, entombed by the 'spider of time' and buried centuries ago, now looking at the town they once grew up in. what would they see? what would their thoughts be?..
as a sidenote, i think that the spider crawling from the jug is the spider of time, sort of a mentally-visual flag changing the bustling seaside town into its seaside grave.
