    That’s actually kinda correct. The song is about a couple who are having sex when a nuke goes off.

      Looking at the lyrics, I’m not sure it is:

      Moving forwards, using all my breath Making love to you was never second best I saw the world thrashing all around your face Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

      I’ll stop the world and melt with you You’ve seen the difference and it’s getting better all the time There’s nothing you and I won’t do I’ll stop the world and melt with you

      Dream of better lives the kind which never hate (You should see why) Trapped in the state of imaginary grace (You should know better) I made a pilgrimage to save this humans race (You should see why) Never comprehending the race had long gone by

      I’ll stop the world and melt with you (Let’s stop the world) You’ve seen the difference and it’s getting better all the time (Let’s stop the world) There’s nothing you and I won’t do (Let’s stop the world) I’ll stop the world and melt with you

      The future’s open wide

      I’ll stop the world and melt with you (Let’s stop the world) I’ve seen some changes but it’s getting better all the time (Let’s stop the world) There’s nothing you and I won’t do (Let’s stop the world) I’ll stop the world and melt with you

      The future’s open wide Hmmm hmmm hmmm Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm Hmmm hmmm hmmm Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

      I’ll stop the world and melt with you (Let’s stop the world) You’ve seen the difference and it’s getting better all the time (Let’s stop the world) There’s nothing you and I won’t do (Let’s stop the world) I’ll stop the world and melt with you (Let’s stop the world) I’ll stop the world and melt with you (Let’s stop the world) I’ll stop the world and melt with you (Let’s stop the world) I’ll stop the world and melt with you

        No, it is. Same with 99 Luftballons, Walk the Dinosaur, and Prince’s 1999. Cold War songs were fucking bleak.
