This song is about a meeting they had with an A&R man from their record company at the time, ZTT.
They met him at a cafe in Dublin to talk about the album they were going to make - the album that would become "Dance The Devil" The band were getting nowhere with him, like banging their heads off a concrete wall, so to speak. The record company wanted completely different things than the band.
During the meeting Glen became distracted by a bloke walking up and down the street outside the cafe, cursing at the pavement, and at everyone just going past - just going "FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!"
Glen thought that that summed up perfectly his relationship with the record company right there and then, and how that bloke, cursing outside, made his life make sense for a brief moment.
