This song always struck me as being about a small, "nowhere" town...

Yeah, that song could be describing the ****hole I grew up in, left and never went back after my parents moved away.

Here's one by one of my very favorite bands, VOLK. "This town is quicksand/and only the lucky get our alive.":

And the next one isn't obvious. It's Seals And Crofts doing "Tin Town", an early tune they did before they totally sucked.

"Down where people lose their heads/in Tin Town/has been town"

Nice. I get the impression that jadis likes The Stranglers a little. Nah, probably just my imagination.

Charlie Pride - Mississippi Cotton Pickin' Delta Town

"One dusty street to walk up and down/nothing much to do just hang around/in a Mississippi cotton pickin' delta town"

The Attractions - Lonesome Little Town

Elvis Costello's former backing band did an album without EC. This is a song from it.
