Story behind the song

Take a weekend break with friends.

Lyrics

I like to think that I can see beyond the city lights.
I like to think that I can hear beyond the city lights.
All the city girls and all the city boys with their city toys.
Their city toys.

At the weekend, taking my friends, 
taking them out for the weekend.
At the weekend, taking my friends, 
taking them out to the seaside.

It occurred to me that those shops and factories are just passing the time, passing the time.
The supermarket trolleys are just one step on the way to the sea, wait and see.
The time that passes by for every traffic light stop leaves us all sad, angry and mad.
The miles of motorway become a journey every day, a road to nowhere, Nowhere. Nowhere.
