I would like to explore that Dylan the Poet is talking about a larger theme of the 60s sexual revolution. I think the theme is "True Love is dead."
The guilty undertaker (sexual revolution)signs that True Love is dead.
The lonesome organ grinder is separated and gets no true love just a coin or two.
The silver saxophones grease the music of bars and hook up scenes. The church bells and the wedding bells are cracked and the washed out horns are no longer triumphantly proclaimin true love.
The poet cannot accept it... it's not that way, I wasnt born into the generation in which true love died. I want you.. I want true love.
Drunken Politician leaps to his suicide in the street. No love for politicians. Mothers weep for children lost to the streets and the revolution. Saviours are sleeping but they would provide True Love. They expect me the poet to open the gate of true love again, but Dylan's cup is broken. He does not have true love and wants it so bad.
All my father's I feel refers to Dylan's poetical influences. The modernist poets disavow true love and embrace science and disdain the romantic poets. The daughter's of the sexual revolution are putting him down because he is romantically proclaiming that he wants True Love. They put him down because they are free, now from "True Love."
He moves down the social ladder to the Queen of Spades, maybe a bar or hotel, the chambermaid, the hotel room maid or the waitress. He is not afraid to look at her to see if she still believe in True Love. She understands and agrees about True Love. She knows that he wants True Love but he does not want it with her. The Queen of Spades could be a symbol of death. She wants true love but for him it would be death with the chambermaid. So, it does not matter because she is not part of the sexual revolutionaries.
Dancing child with His suit could be Cupid or Pan with his Pan flute. He is taking away Cupid's flute because he doesn't want just lust or to temporarily be in capricious love.
He took away the flute and wasn't that cute to him.
He took away the lust flute and wants True Love. He wants the real thing.
This is just my humble opinion of what this poem is about.
I dont claim to have anything other than my own point of view about this poem.
I love this poem and most everything Bob Dylan wrote.

I think of him as a "Great" poet. Paul
@PDShimel So looking up the Queen of Spades, I see that it is a Hotel in London.
