I'm surprised that none of the previous posts address what is the most likely more specific meaning behind the song. Henry is used as a slang word for Heroin. He's basically having a conversation with his dealer -- trying to explain that he's happy pursuing this girl, his "Suffraggette City" and does not want to give into temptation. He's taking sexual refuge with this woman to avoid the Heroin pratfall . It seems like he slips up briefly upon th eline "Hit Me" buut then he counmters that , while Henry is shootinh him up, I'm sure with the remindeer trhat this a one-last-time -- he's leaving with Suffraggette Cify
