      I read an interview with linnell from either 1992 or 1993 recently, the interviewer asked him where he thought their career would take them, and he said (not a direct quote) that he expected them to continue on, fall out of the mainstream and develop a devoted but small-ish fan base, and that they would continue making music and touring until they were too old to keep doing it.
      So, at least from that point on, he seemed pretty aware of where they were going and was eerily accurate with his prediction, I must add.

      ​@@nolimit6377 I'm not sure they were ever IN the mainstream. I guess so in the 80s when they started out, but I think the New Wave craze in the 80s happened to be just as weird as they were.

    Lyrics
    As your body floats down Third Street
    With the burn-smell factory closing up
    Yes it's sad to say you will romanticize
    All the things you've known before
    It was not not not so great
    It was not not not so great
    And as you take a bath in that beaten path
    There's a pounding at the door
    Well It's a mighty zombie talking of some love and posterity
    He says "The good old days never say good-bye
    If you keep this in your mind:
    You need some lo-lo-loving arms
    You need some lo-lo-loving arms"
    And as you fall from grace the only words you say are
    Put your hand inside the puppet head
    Put your hand inside the puppet head
    Put your hand inside
    Put your hand inside
    Put your hand inside the puppet head
    Ads up in the subway are the work of someone
    Trying to please their boss
    And though the guy's a pig we all know what he wants
    Is just to please somebody else
    If the pu-pu-puppet head
    Was only bu-bu-busted in
    It would be a better thing for everyone involved
    And we wouldn't have to cry
    Put your hand inside the puppet head
    Put your hand inside the puppet head
    Put your hand inside
    Put your hand inside
    Put your hand inside the puppet head
    Memo to myself, do the dumb things I gotta do
    Touch the puppet head
    Quit my job down at the car wash
    Didn't have to write no-one a good-bye note
    That said, "The check's in the mail, and
    I'll see you in church, and don't you ever change"
    If the pu-pu-puppet head
    Was only bu-bu-busted in
    I'll see you after school
    Put your hand inside the puppet head
    Put your hand inside the puppet head
    Put your hand inside
    Put your hand inside
    Put your hand inside the puppet head
    Put your hand inside the puppet head
    Put your hand inside the puppet head
    Put your hand inside
    Put your hand inside
    Put your hand inside the puppet head

      There's no real intended significance. They originally wanted to use the face of Orson Wells, but figured the legal troubles were obvious with that. It seems that they just found something interesting and charming about Mr. White's face. They've admitted that they didn't even know who he was at the time either. As he was a progressive-minded fellow, I think he would have been cool with TMBG.
