Extreme sarcasm about some woman who the songwriter's being going out with but is now absolutely sick of, but also being very deliberately aware of his own arrogance and deeply irreverent about religion (which as someone who doesn't believe in a Christian God, I find very funny!) at the same time. Possibly also cocking a snook at men who put women on a pedestal too and think they can do no wrong (compare this with something like Scritti Politti's Absolute, only a few years earlier, which expresses precisely that emotion), as this song says totally the opposite. The coda at the end is in part a reaction at the 80s emphasis on the 3-minute pop song and maybe a prelude to the more Rockist second LP.
