Strange that there are four posts here and none of them actually relate to the song itself. Well, I'm going to break that trend.
The song is about the singer rejecting a lover because the lover wants some cheap one-night stand thing and that's not what the singer wants. OTOH, around this time, the band was on the verge of breaking up, and this may be a lament that the band is just going to be a footnote in history.
