I get the feeling from the lyrics, the melodies and the sound of the song as a total, sort of dark and deep (which reminds me a bit of the humbug's vibe), that the girl from the song is a spoiled, beautiful daddy's girl, but also a man-hypnotizer, the kind of woman who steals a room's atention when she walks in. She doesn't care for beauty or unique things like the cadyllac's mirrors she breaks, even though they're special, she just breaks things for fun, in a childish way, and "she has never had to strain her back when she was putting her lippy on" means to me that she has never had to work for her own stuff, she's had it all since the beginning. But, she knows how to shake love's steady hand, means all that spoilesness has turned her into a poisoning lover, who'll do anything to get what she want's, even getting to a point where she doesn't even care if she gets it or not, kind of a weird sence of freedom from the power of making small but meaningfull mistakes.

Amazing song, one of my favourites from the band
