Discover the story of the song > Operating Tracks – front 242

The song talks about a place, possibly a mansion or a big house, owned by a woman named Ms. Van de Veer. The protagonist notes the tall fences and enclosures surrounding the place, and how no one is allowed inside except for his partner, who seems to have claimed everything there as her own. The imagery of the garden swing and the shadows of the trees lend a mysterious and eerie atmosphere to the song.
