The thing that really struck me about this song was the depiction of age: in the beginning, it states the narrator is 13, but in the end, "I, Eliza Elizabeth Jane Cook, was to become a handmaiden to a number of verile, half-naked nomads, and that this ordeal would continue fourteen years". This seems to carry on a theme, as in "Orphanage", the line "I have been trapped in this orphanage for longer than my years." Other than that, I found this a generally very amusing song.
