Lyrics

It's on every street,

Refers to a pervasive presence, possibly something noticeable everywhere.

It's fuckin' cheap,

Expresses that it is easily accessible or available at a low cost.

Sometimes you find up in your mind...

Suggests occasional introspection or contemplation.


Are you at the pictures,

Presents a choice between being at the pictures (movies) or out at sea.

Or out at sea?

Continues the choice between different experiences, favoring the latter.

It's better this way,

Claims that the preferred option is better in some way.

Trust you, believe me

Expresses trust and emphasizes the speaker's sincerity.

We like it for what we just got,

It's better still,

It's something hot

Describes the acquired thing as something attractive or trendy.


Out at the pictures,

Reiterates the choice between being at the pictures and unable to see.

I cannot see,
