I love the Todd Rundgren sampling, very well done in my opinion. I was watching a movie earlier today with Todd Rundgren's original song in it, and I instantly started thinking of this one.
I agree with nyukkaboom that this song doesn't really require much interpretation. Something along the lines of: You have drunken sex with someone you used to be in a relationship with, you know they will regret it when sober, but they'll be back the next time they get drunk. |

I really like this interpretation a lot. I don't think it's probably what Robin had in mind when writing it, but I also think that our own interpretations of any form of art is what gives it its real meaning.
I think this a very well thought out interpretation. I think the line "some day I'll be like the man on the screen" can also support this in the idea that some day when things are returned to the worker he will be like the bourgeoisie that he's seen always "on the screen" (or in the limelight, the only people who matter) and in power.
In support of the orchard verses, I think you could take it as the idea that "if I (emphasis on I) had an orchard, I'd work till I'm raw/sore" where as in current capitalist society, if you are the one who owns the orchard, you are sitting back and managing things while others who work under you work until they're sore. And YOU will soon run the store, in typical capitalist society the under-employees never have a chance at this, they are always stuck doing under-work. In other words, if I was the one who owned an orchard, I would work the same jobs as those under me because we're all equally necessary for anything to succeed. I realize that in any society, socialist or capitalist, there obviously are distinct positions for people in a workplace and they don't literally interchange, but it still can support a broad idea that the working class is not something to be trampled by bourgeoisie. |

I imagine this song will get pretty popular pretty fast as it has just been released as a song on a Sobe commercial. Awesome song, but there are a few corrections it should be "And you wish that you could count for every inch And every ounce of everything that you meet" |

I heard this song as soon as I got in my car to head to the grave after my grandpas funeral. It was amazing, I instantly fell in love. The line "where everyone you know never leaves too soon" makes me think it is about someone you know dying and it making you look at and appreciate your own life. |
