on Polo Mint City
The inspiration for the song is the city of East Kilbride in Lanarkshire, Scotland. "Polo Mint City" was the project name for the city, which was a new town in Scotland. "Polo Mint" was a reference to the town's network of roundabouts which resembled the polo mint sweets. Texas used this title as a metaphor for falling in love/lust.
The lyrics of Texas's song, Polo Mint City, present a poetic and dreamy picture of a place that seems to be a utopian city or a perfect world. Polo Mint City is portrayed as a circular and hypnotic place which takes one's breath away. The repetition of the phrase, 'Round and round in Polo Mint City' creates an auditory and rhythmic effect that reinforces this idea of a circular motion. Moreover, the use of the adjective 'pretty' suggests that this city is aesthetically pleasing and perhaps even picturesque.
The last line of the song is repeated twice and seems to be directed to a lover, indicating that the singer could have found this perfect place in the presence of their partner. The expression, 'You took my breath away', suggests that the singer was left in awe by the beauty and magic of the place, and also overwhelmed by the emotions of love. This final line hints that perhaps this perfect world and the love of the partner could be experiences so profound that the singer might have lost their breath.
