Lyric discussion by BillyBremnerLives 

It is about an elderly couple moaning about whats on TV. "Better in my day, for when we got bored we had a world war". Helen of Troy's changing face relates to different actresses playing the part in different films.

@BillyBremnerLives I've aways been intrigued by that last line"seems Helen of Troy has found a new face again" It was possibly just thrown in to make a final enigmatic statement & has no meaning at all! Whatever, I can't see that your interpretation fits.

@BillyBremnerLives That was my thought as well. A new version of Helen of Troy with a new actress playing the role.

@BillyBremnerLives Here's my interpretation of Helen of Troy's changing face. Helen was considered the indirect cause of the Trojan War, so her new face "again" indicates another in a long and never-ending list of reasons that countries go to war.
