Melody Dean Lyrics
I never met a lady
quite as pretty as Melody Dean
and when I laid my head
down on her heart
It beated out your name
and so I had to listen
to her heartbeat
several hundred times
and she was very nice about it,
held my hand and didn't mind
I never put my foot in the
same river twice
I don't like getting wet
You take the good
you take the bad
you take it all
and that is all you get
The fact is you would rather
I be lonely in a bathtub
with a book
The fact is you would rather
I sat pining on our pictures
from New York
New York, New York, New York
But I get torn to pieces
for the stupidest reasons
All I want's to love the one I'm with
just like the song says
I don't like picking sides
I don't like sticking
my cherona in a box
I like to spread her out on
different crackers yeah
I like the way she looks
and when I go to bed
at night with Melody
undressing in my head
to get to sleep you know that
I would rather be
undressing you instead
instead, instead, instead
I never met a lady
quite as pretty as Melody Dean
and even though I know you are a little
bit angry with me
You know that it is you I love
and you I want to get me off
But you can only do that
when you're here
and right now you are not
I never cross the
continental divide
without thinking about you
I am a tree that's carved up
with her name
She is a warrior tattoo
and the fact is, you're selective
about what you can
remember for a start
The fact is you're just jealous
as all get out
We can do it in the dark,
in the dark, in the dark, in the dark
But I get torn to pieces
for the stupidest reasons
All I want's to love the one
I'm with like Stephen Stills says
I never met a lady
quite as pretty as Melody Dean
and even though I know you are a little
bit angry with me
You know that it is you I love
and you I want to get me off
But you can only do that
when you're here
and right now you are not
quite as pretty as Melody Dean
and when I laid my head
down on her heart
It beated out your name

It's about a girl who finds a female fuckbuddy to deal with having a long distance relationship with her boyfriend. And he's not happy about it.
That's my interpretation, too; except he's only "a little bit angry" about it. Seems very practical to me. Wonder how close to reality this is, given that Amanda and Neil live on different contintents, and spend a good deal of time "crossing the continental divide".

This song is about a polyamorous relationship between two women and a man. Amanda has been very open about her past open marriage.
