Lyric discussion by lydgate 

I'd always thought of the meaning of "tender" as "something tendered or offered, esp. money, as in payment" while listening to this song, but it's only just occurred to me the play on "Love Me Tender".

Really love "You're the one who hates to love / but he's the one who loves to hate", "Because he is the neighborhood", and "Just like a well-known financier". He's a master of acerbic, unexpectic lyrics.

I always thought he said "the wages of sin are an expensive affliction".
