These lyrics can be interpreted in two different ways. The first way being as a romance lyrics all about being regretted by a woman, being ‘shot down.’ In the setting of Nottingham, this being clear by the use of colloquial language being used throughout the songs.

Another way of interpreting the lyrics is by the band explaining and singing their lyrics about regretting the fashion style that is around at the moment, and trying to bring back the past regretting their childhood upbringing and lack of fashion awareness, trying to get people to stop copying fashion ‘parrot fashion’ and make their own mark on their own fashion statements. They use colloquial phrases to emphasize their setting of Nottingham but also to emphasize the fashion of Nottingham ‘penny loafers.’ Giving the message to the audience that they should make their fashion statements and honor the fashion of the past.
