i like this song better in the slower live version. i think this song is a bit about hypocrisy which seems to be a running thread in some RK songs (e.g. It's a Hit) and even in the album itself with jenny talking about "selling out" and all
i think the phrase "there but for the grace of god go i" here is important cos it shows that had she been in that same situation as any of the characters mentioned she may have also done what they did but because of her own faith, she's been able to pull it together.
i see it as her talking about the fragility of decisions. how it's so easy to succumb and be led astray from who you are and what you believe in. and maybe, how difficult it is to change who you are and what you became.
