It's referencing the Godard film, not the 80s band. The story of A New Devotion was meant to feel like film noir—lots of shadows, rain and even, uh, mac trenchcoats (more to come later). Robbie's greatest guitar bit ever, no contest.

lyrics

“I was a simple man
Till I stumbled on to their plan
It was a rainy evening
And on the ceiling shadows played
It was hard to abandon all my ways
I tried hard
Yeah, to learn to love this place”

Another sleepless night,
As the dark gives shape to your fright
What is this empty feeling
This sense of leaving the light?
And the people
Blow about this town like leaves
And the people
Go on living, go on breathing
