It's an ode to the transcendental. Little moments that we forget or take for granted in our everyday lives, but moments that we live for nonetheless. A connection to the holy that is different for everyone, and everyone experiences, not only reserved for the poets and artists.
Even Jack the Banker and Jane the Clerk, the two "squarest" people imaginable at the time of the 60s counterculture, when they listen to classical music, "all you protest kids, you can hear Jack say, Sweet Jane." In other words, we're all connected to something divine, so don't think you're better or cooler. Being in the know is irrelevant, it's that moment of bliss we all have within us. The words Sweet Jane merely serve to personify that transcendence.
The heavenly wine and roses part at the end, describe a woman in love who experiences her Sweet Jane when her lover smiles.
This song goes with "Rock N Roll" the next track as a sort of diptych, where Lou expresses his Sweet Jane to be the state rocknroll takes him to. It's his holy moment in himself that saves him from himself and the dreariness of this world. And me too for that matter. That is all
