If you'll recall, about 99% of Eno's music is without lyric. There's a reason for that. Brian Eno always believed that lyrics restricted the scope of meaning to a song and he said himself that most of his lyrics are for the purpose of rhyming and on the occasion, not the norm, he writes them for meaning. I love Fat Lady of Limbourg, one of my favorite songs from the album, but I honestly don't think it's lyrics have any hidden, underlying meaning. It's just a fun story.
When it comes to "Here He Comes" from Before and After Science, while I suppose anything can be interpreted to one's liking, given Eno's bisexuality and my homosexuality, I find it very easy to believe that it's about cruising.
The one album that I think while simplistic in it's great songs and great lyrics which tell an individual story for each song is Wrong Way Up with John Cale.
