I think that RobertTheNaugle is right in saying that the song is somewhat about this wonderful imagination that kids have an inevitably loose someday when faced with harsh realities of life (like making decisions about who is to come first on a life boat). I think the talking underneath is also kinda questioning why we generalise who should be saved by age and sex, Radiohead mentions it in "Idioteque" but i don't know,they probably have some insanely profound reason behind it because they're fucking geniouses.
