its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Space invaders flying home
Yeah, they're going to hit the sack
And they are probably going to die getting high
Cause they're mixing crazy with the crack
And she's kissing all the boys
She's to clever to be slack
But she's bound to go away for a day
In July, so she won't be coming back
Baby, baby, baby
The good old days to tax
Baby, baby, baby
Now won't you dry your pretty eyes
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days to tax
Come on!
It's my big bell bottom cords
And imagine with a hat
And you're a rule breaker, baby
Can't you see me standing?
Only you went ahead and sat
And she's kissing all the boys
She's to clever to be slack
But she's bound to go away for a day
In July, so she won't be coming back
Baby, baby, baby
The good old days to tax
Baby, baby, baby
Won't you dry your pretty eyes
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days to tax
Come on!
Yeah, they're going to hit the sack
And they are probably going to die getting high
Cause they're mixing crazy with the crack
And she's kissing all the boys
She's to clever to be slack
But she's bound to go away for a day
In July, so she won't be coming back
Baby, baby, baby
The good old days to tax
Baby, baby, baby
Now won't you dry your pretty eyes
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days to tax
Come on!
It's my big bell bottom cords
And imagine with a hat
And you're a rule breaker, baby
Can't you see me standing?
Only you went ahead and sat
And she's kissing all the boys
She's to clever to be slack
But she's bound to go away for a day
In July, so she won't be coming back
Baby, baby, baby
The good old days to tax
Baby, baby, baby
Won't you dry your pretty eyes
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days to tax
Come on!

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
i think it might be "S'my big bell bottom cords And ??? with a hat You're a rule breaker baby Can't you see me standing? But you went ahead and sat"
