This is kind of the other way around, starting out lonely, smirking at some people's perceptions of what an "over" New York is like, and then ending fully defeated.</p> <p>Plus, don't forget: this song was written (and first leaked) in '06, when New York's Mis-shapes party era was still raging and no one thought the housing bubble would ever burst. For Murphy to even record this then was slightly (<i>slightly</i>) counterintuitive and insurrectionist.</p> @Dickdogfood: I think you’re selling the song short — it’s of a piece with “All My Friends,” which starts out as a song about an aging hipster wondering where he’s going to party and ends as a moving meditation on loneliness.
