This song is kind of similar to "Inside." They have the same theme of love creating a shield that protects you from the outside world. (I think I like "Living In the Past" better.)

No, it is in fact "outside, their lives." He's talking about outside of his love of this woman. Nothing else matters to him. 1

probably "outside their LIES, go on much faster..."

HELL of a good song. Exactly how I feel about modern life. Don't push your s*** on me! I don't need it!

This song is a pretty obvious Tull song, about loving a woman. The first four stanzas hes just talking about how much he loves her, then gets to the point of the song. "We'll go walking out while others shout of war's disaster." This, to me, pretty clearly means that when hes with her he doesnt care about whats going on, just thinking about a time with her that everything was good. THe whole song is like that.
