I'm not too sure what this song is about, but it's really ironic in some ways... for example, he's an archangel and he's getting a divorce, so how are the rest of us gonna cope?! Did PS ever get divorced? Could be interesting to find out, that would put alot of his songs into context...

Another obvious example of irony is the couplet "He says well this will eat up a year of my life/And then there's all that weight to be lost" - enough said :P

I love the line "Sad as a lonely little wrinkled balloon", it just makes you want to give 'Fat Charlie' a huge hug! It kinda annoys me in a way aswell because the song is so deep, as mentioned by Dead$y, and it's a funny line that takes the seriousness out of the song without really trying... awww, why are some people such good song writers?! Reckon he'd help me with my GCSE composition? Heeheehee...

I do believe do date, that he's been married at least 3 times, not to mention other serious relationships he was in. Yes, he's no stranger to love and I'm sure many of his songs reflect this.
