isn't this song clearly about two lovers arguing?
"you're sharp alright"
"can we have just a little discipline"
"loose lips sink ships" this is an old war saying which means that saying too much can cause disaster.
the singer's character is trying to not engage with the argument.
the title, well that i don't know about. my best guess is it's an image of plucking things to examine and devour - the person he's singing about is breaking and dissecting their relationship, over-analysing...
with the title, the Cherry Tree is representative of honesty while he's also repeating to himself "loose lips sink ships" conveying an internal dispute, which fits the mood of the song flawlessly. He doesn't want to talk about it because he doesn't want to lie yet he doesn't want to say too much.

ok i'm sorry everyone's missed the boat here...
