Could this be about a man about a feisty beautiful woman? "Tin can man..." and the rest of the stanza to me symbolizes a car driving away from a wedding. I don't fully know because Gord Downie can write some freaky poetry. I do know that Cordelia was the virtuous child of King Lear. Could it be about a sinful man marrying a pure virgin? I don't know but I do love this song. Road Apples is the best album by The Hip.
