This song is the breakdown of a longterm relationship.
The protaganist is in a committed relation and engaged, however he really doesnt want to get married "Where ceremonies pause at the jeweller's shop display Feigning casual silence in strained romantic interludes" eg shes picking out wedding rings etc but all hes wants to do is drink in the pub with his mates and really isnt commited to the realtionship "A Honeymoon gambled on a ricochet". He then starts having an affair with a young teenager, deflowering her in the Lighthouse.
Also the last 2 lines are missing from this song, which sort of tie up the whole thing
"It was a wedding ring destined to found in a cheap hotel, lost in a kitchen sink, or thrown in a wishing well'
The protaganist does get married in the end, but the marriage is bound to fail.
