At the Drive-In – Doorman's Placebo Lyrics 19 years ago
I personally believe that this is one of the few ATDI songs about a romantic relationship. With allusions and comparisons to princesses, matresses, Italian shirts, etc., I can't help but think Cedric is singing about a particular girl here. Seems to have a theme of hopeless devotion with a tinge of jealousy, mostly because of...
"Eeyor chase your own" -- I hope everyone here knows the significance of 'Eeyor' in folklore/fairytales.

And:

"A princess' work is never done
In the bed and breakfast beck and call"

Here, I get the sense that she's demanding and maybe a bit spoiled, but he's willing to do anything.

There are other hints to a relationship in this song, including the title, but I am way too tired to explain them (it's 4 am).
