just been listening to an old live version (TV performance) Fran explains it like this '.........this song is all about standing in the middle of a really busy street... like sometimes you see in adverts, the guy standing absolutely still with people dsch dsch dsch really rushing around him....... this is what this song is about'
it's never I tell ya ! lol

Symbolism mostly, in that an unhatched egg is constantly cared for by its mother. I'm reaching, I know, but Travis is famous for it's videos not always relating to lyrical content. |

I found a million of different versions like these searching the internet:
Mother see you coming around
Never see you coming around
Mothers see it coming around
Never see it coming around
Mothers see you coming around
The song is not part of a "regular" album so there's no booklet with the lyrics "approved from Travis"
Mothers see it coming around |

Ahh...closure.
I'm curious whether this is the first he saw of this post or if he knew earlier and let us stew in our theories for a wee bit. |

He wanted to see who's been paying attention. Most of us failed. :( Haha. At least we know the word now, although like a lot of us, I always thought I already did know it. I was wrong. :) |
