One Point Perspective Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dancing in my underpants, I'm gonna run for government
I'm gonna form a covers band an' all
Back there by the baby grand, did Mr. Winter Wonderland say
"Come 'ere, kid, we really need to talk"?
Bear with me, man, I lost my train of thought
[Verse 2]
I fantasise, I call it quits, I swim with the economists
And I get to the bottom of it for good
By the time reality hits, the chimes of freedom fell to bits
The shining city on the fritz
They come out of the cracks, thirsty for blood
[Bridge]
Oh, just as the apocalypse finally gets prioritised
And you cry some of the hottest tears you ever cried
Multiplied by five
I suppose a singer must die
[Verse 3]
"Singsong 'round the money tree"
This stunning documentary that no one else unfortunately saw
Such beautiful photography, it's worth it for the opening scene
I've been driving 'round listening to the score
Or maybe, I just imagined it all
I've played to quiet rooms like this before
Bear with me, man, I lost my train of thought
Dancing in my underpants, I'm gonna run for government
I'm gonna form a covers band an' all
Back there by the baby grand, did Mr. Winter Wonderland say
"Come 'ere, kid, we really need to talk"?
Bear with me, man, I lost my train of thought
I fantasise, I call it quits, I swim with the economists
And I get to the bottom of it for good
By the time reality hits, the chimes of freedom fell to bits
The shining city on the fritz
They come out of the cracks, thirsty for blood
Oh, just as the apocalypse finally gets prioritised
And you cry some of the hottest tears you ever cried
Multiplied by five
I suppose a singer must die
"Singsong 'round the money tree"
This stunning documentary that no one else unfortunately saw
Such beautiful photography, it's worth it for the opening scene
I've been driving 'round listening to the score
Or maybe, I just imagined it all
I've played to quiet rooms like this before
Bear with me, man, I lost my train of thought

Only one meaning: Turner asks himself whether or not AM was even worth the while as a project? Five years he's been asking this of himself, and finally concluded that the singer must die. And yes, this is the best track of the whole "album".
Had a more than a few nights like that
