i enjoy this song a lot. especially the flute.
i'd say it's about someone who has realized that this woman is not worth "wasting his time". but as he looks back, he thinks about how real everything seemed to him and how hopeful he was of her.
and thats the depressing part.
but i'd say, even though the album is considered one of the most depressing, it ends with this song that sorta leaves you with a glimmer of hope..
I agree with def on this. He saying he thought she was a Queen, and treated her like a Queen. An she wasn't worth it. She wasn't as regal and royal as she let on. I think with the line about breaking both her arms he is saying someone else would not have been as nice as he was. He still cares even after how bad she was to him, but now he is done. He is tired of wasting his time thinking of her and what could have been. This was also a velvet underground song, and the lyrics...

Livin' on borrowed time
i'm in love w/ mary queen of scots
fourteen hundred ninety three
and everythings like it should be
i'm gonna stop wasting my time
henry the fifth would have broken my heart
sad song sad song
doo doo
sad song sad song
livin on borrowed time
i'm in love w/ mary queen of scots
1493
and things just like they ought to be
primrose and kilts
primrose and spain
forget me not my queen of scots
sad song sad song
doo doo
sad song sad song
