This is a bleak song sang as an insanely peppy folk tune.
The gist of the song is that life is empty now and there is nothing special (no diamonds in the mine, no chocolates in the boxes)
No refuge in the coven of the witch.. sterilized the bitch (2nd best line) There is no comfort in religion a doctor(scientist) sterilized it of any truth or meaning.
As for the Lover with a broken limb.
She worked hard to take care of him, but he cheated on her. "Eating up a lady where the lions and Christians fight" (best line) Eating up a lady where her passions meet her morals (her genitals) The lions of passion fight the Christian morals of celibacy. (he uses sex and religion a lot)
Man of energy...
The man who was supposed to save the world is wasted. (miraculously intelligent people (doctors)waste their talents on abortion, Viagra, and other things that are products of a modern moral-less society.
I hope my deciphering of the last musical poet was helpful.
the first poster says the chorus is clear enough, so maybe s/he gets it, but this song isn't simply about life being empty.

as far as i can tell, this song is specifically about a woman after her prime. nobody's sending her letters, nobody's buying her wine, nobody's giving her chocolates, and nobody's "mining for diamonds" in her vagina. it's basically the bitterest song ever, and i love it.

@Winters Trite and Obvious. Bear in mind, "SOL&H" is a mirrored album, the songs on side A, the hate side having a correspondent song on the Love Side, side b. So that would make this song the mirror of "Joan of Arc". Given that Joan of Arc is about Cohen's one time lover Nico and her descent into heroin, that's where you have to start in breaking this song down.
