I agree with a lot of things said here. But no one talked about the homossexualism. Dont u notice the obvious homossexual mentions? Ive heard even that the BIcycle refers to homossexualism...
but you can interpret it more literally and less metaphorically...
To me it goes like that:
a cyclist gets it wheel punctured. having no way to go home - because he's on a desolated hillside - he accepts a lift from a charming man. why complicate life thinking about a way to go home and carry his bike if the passenger seat of the charming man's car is free and it is smooth? ok, then he tells the man he would go out at that night, but he didnt have any cloth there and needed to go home, but the man says it doesnt matter cause he doesnt care, theyd go out together. He still praises the cyclist saying he's handsome: obviously a homossexual one, who wants to bring the cyclist to the same way.
now theres kind of a confusion in who's moz talking about: the jumped up pantry boy is the cyclist who never knew his place, the homossexual one, that the charming man has just shown him.
I dont know where u guys found so much about marriage, but maybe this return the rings has sth to do with it. but, in that case, the marriage would be between the charming man and the cyclist, not a real wedding but an affair. and, finally, moz says that he agree with the charming man and goes with him, when he says "he knows so much about this things".
So, i think moz is telling about a homossexual experience or initiation. I hope u guys like this interpretation, and let me know what did u think about it answering. I wont mind if you disagree, mainly because my english isnt very good and thats why maybe i dont understand the lyrics well.
