He can’t live with her because it was a love fashioned by caring and fate, it’s a great beat dance song

I see the part about Bruce and Pattie and Billy and Christie-- and I know who he is referring to. But what is the point? Is it that those couples are together and, under the indifference of heaven, poor Warren is single?

I think the inclusion of these celebrity couple names has that inimitable Warren Zevon touch; but if he isn't pointing toward his feelings about his current romantic plight, then it doesn't cohere with the song as a whole. On the other hand, if he is pointing toward his romantic plight, he weakens a lyric that is supposed to...
I think the inclusion of these celebrity couple names has that inimitable Warren Zevon touch; but if he isn't pointing toward his feelings about his current romantic plight, then it doesn't cohere with the song as a whole. On the other hand, if he is pointing toward his romantic plight, he weakens a lyric that is supposed to have something to do with the indifference of heaven.

I have to say, though, that I prefer the version on Live Seeds. Some minor lyrical changes in that version are an improvement…for example “And the walls ran red around me/And washed me all away” instead of “A warm arterial spray.” The version on Live Seeds is brilliant. You can really feel the way Nick commands an audience.
