* MurderSuicide: "Home Sweet Home" sees Josephine jump out the window with Sam in tow, so that tow. The only motive she gives is "we've got to get out of here, Bill, I've been saying it all the while," leaving it ambiguous whether she committed murder-suicide due to passing the DespairEventHorizon (being trapped in poverty after being forced into a ShotgunWedding) or if she aimed to let Bill can collect the insurance money needed to from their deaths and free himself from debt.



* PyrrhicVictory: "Home Sweet Home" revolves around Bill's hopes to settle down and live a good, stable life. He eventually achieves this at the end, but only because Josephine killed herself and their child so he can collect the insurance money from their deaths. Bill himself spends all the money at a casino out of guilt, and even though he wins enough to buy a nice country house, his accomplishment doesn't alter the song's melancholy tone, having lost his family in the process.

* ShotgunWedding: Bill's recollection of his marriage to Josephine in "Home Sweet Home" implies that the two of them got married solely because he impregnated her during what was supposed to be a one-night stand. This ends up having dire consequences for the pair: they're chased out of town and are unable to make a sustainable income when they finally settle down, leading Josephine to kill herself and her child.

To consolidate this change in approach, the album was produced by prior collaborator and former Music/KingCrimson guitarist Robert Fripp, who envisioned the record as part of a trilogy of albums that {{deconstruct|ion}}ed the idea of pop music. The other two albums, Fripp's solo debut ''Exposure'' and Music/{{Daryl Hall|AndJohnOates}}'s ''Sacred Songs'', were made concurrently but released late. Gabriel and Hall both provide guest vocals on ''Exposure'' (which also features new versions of Gabriel's "Here Comes the Flood" and, appropriately, "Exposure") to return the favor.

Added DiffLines:

* GenreDeconstruction: Producer Robert Fripp envisioned the album as one to the entire concept of pop music itself, together with his solo album ''Exposure'' and Music/{{Daryl Hall|AndJohnOates}}'s ''Sacred Songs''. Fittingly, the songs on the album contrast seemingly accessible concepts with leftfield structures and subversive lyrics in order to challenge common assumptions of what popular music entails.
