This track is one of the two bonus tracks from Beat the Devil’s Tattoo. As seen on the reverse side of album cover of this UK & Europe version, the title is actually supposed to be “1:51”:

Listening to a recording of the track, and reading the (rather miserable) lyrics hasn’t given much of clue as to what the title is supposed to mean though. It kinda looks like a time of some sort, and this line in the lyrics also alludes to time being significant:

The light is slipping away

But even if this is right, it could mean either a time of day or a duration of time;

• fifty-one minutes past one o’clock,
• one hour and fifty-one minutes, or
• one minute and fifty-one seconds.

Somewhere along the line, a piece of software has misidentified the track name as a number to process. For whatever reason, it’s converted it from hours & minutes to days:

1:51 = 1 hour + 51 minutes
   = 60 minutes + 51 minute
   = 111 minutes ÷ (60 minutes/hour × 24 hours/day)
   = 111 minutes ÷ 1440 minutes/day
   = (37 ÷ 480) days
   = 0.07708333… days
