This song is about things that'll never happen, even if you hope they will. As much as the singer may like to see the Cubs and Bucs win, they won't. The Canterbury Tales to become popular and well-read, it won't. He won't figure out tomorrow's crossword, etc.
Then the chorus brings this meaning into the context of a relationship of how he may like to love someone again, but won't be able to for whatever reason.
The next song on the album, "Going to Utrecht", includes the repeated line:
"I would not believe it, even if I saw it with my own eyes." This follows the theme of impossibility, like the Cubs actually winning a World Series.
@TheLostPariah i kind of can’t believe the last comment on this song was eight years ago. i also kind of can’t believe this song is almost thirty years old. funny how two days after you made this comment, the cubs would win in four. then a few years later, the bucs would take it all the way to february and beyond, again.
