Black History Month

[dennissinned123]

This is one of my favorite Death From Above 1979 songs. It's called "Black History Month." Any idea on what it means though?? (And with respect to the title too).

Can you remember a time when this city was
A great place for architects and dilitants
A nice place for midwives and crossing guards
And on, and on...

Hold on, hold on, hold on children
Your mother and father are leaving, leaving

Do you remember a time when this pool was
A great place for waterwings and cannonballs
A nice place for astrologists and blow up dolls
And on, and on, and on, and on

Hold on, hold on children
Your mother and father are leaving
Hold on, hold on children
Your best friend's parents are leaving

Hold on, hold on children
Your best friend's parents are leaving
