So is the narrator coming from someone else's point of view, as a cynic?
Or is he coming from his Michael Gira's perspective? If so, look to a line that sounds innocuous other than it's an odd image, "tie you to the bloody post". Sounds like he's talking about his addiction - nothing will save him from heroin, not even love...
That line has an echo with the stunning image in the Stranglers' Golden Brown:
Every time just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands
Takes both my hands
The key line is "it [love] will never save me".
