Wire and Glass Lyrics

[jimthewhofan at aol.com]

 Because Pete is a poet.
 
"Papers at our door" is more poetic way to express the demands of the press on him or the band. 
 
Remember, this is the same guy who wrote...
 
"Twas a beautiful day in Columbus when the fences fell."
"And men not fit for marriage took their refuge in the oil."

I also took 'papers' to mean the press.  However, the line did catch my 
attention and I wondered why he didn't say use 'reporters' or 'the press.' 
'Papers at our door' makes it sound like you wake up, open the door, and 
there's a newspaper sitting there.  Maybe he specifically wanted to single 
out newspaper reports, as opposed to other press.
