It’s a song to the Maggie May woman many years later. “After all these years, it’s the same address…” Naturally, his bitterness is diminished with time. In fact, he’s being condescending. |

He is madly in love and he is in the first flush of it—or loves so intensely that it seems like it’s still the first flush. She fills all his thoughts, so that even when he’s working, it is she whom he hears when testing the line. She is a constant hum in his brain.
The threat of electrocution from working in the rain is the only thing that gets him any significant time off work. Otherwise, precipitation is not his friend; snow pulls the lines down with its weight, and guarantees plenty of hours. He wants some time off to take romantic steps.
“Still on the line” may have a double meaning: the literal one and a figurative one of a hooked fish, a leashed dog, or simply “walking the line” in the manner of Johnny Cash.
The poet Coventry Patmore said that poetry should use the interest, not the capital, of the passions. Interesting metaphor. I’ve always liked songs that do just that, and this is one such.
