The song title was based on lead singer Bryan Ferry's 1964 painting of the same title (he was an art student at the time). It features a huge packet of Virginia Slims cigarettes with a picture of Andy Warhol superstar Baby Jane Holzer on the front, standing in the middle of a plain.
Building on what others above have commented regarding description of glam life style and travel, Robert E Lee's most famous horse was named Traveler. By the way, Lee's last words were, "Strike the tent."
Net net meaning: "The South will rise again -- and party!" Coincidentally, 2 years after this song was released, President Gerald Ford came into power and eventually restored Lee's American citizenship.
