And you never sent my sweaters
So I could stay warm when I was without you
i adore this song.. its a shame it wont be on Everything In Transit, but i love it just the same!
I think this song is about a guy who lost his girl because he cheated on her. Hes deeply inlove and obsessed with her, but shes had enough, hence "this is the last straw"
i think his reference to the president, is the new boy in his ex's life.. as the president is known as someone important and powerful to someone, just as the other person in a relationship can be..
"Why a country needs a god and a woman needs a man" i think this line, is talking about why she needs someone else.. that she got over him so quickly and now has someone new.. her president if you will...
"To think the happy thoughts that leave the phone lines clear" shes not keeping in contact after he left him, and if she is.. theyre not talking nicely to each other
.. and finally
"I won't wait for you forever
While you run around like JFK.
We watched that poor girl waste the best years of her life
And I'll be damned if I'm going out,
I will not go out that way."
this part is referring to how JFK cheated on his wife with marilyne monroe, and how the wife stayed there, yet wasted the "best years of her life".. shes not going to live that way.. bascally, she is telling him straightup, she wont stick around much longer.. this is the last straw
