This whole song is Amy personifying her favorite Guitar, Cherry, and comparing it to her man.

The first verse gives Cherry a name and a gender ad suggests Amy has an instant connection to her. In comparison to her boyfriend, who hasn’t connected with her in 18 years.

In the final chapters of Revelations, a New Heaven and a New Earth are created after God has dealt with the Old World and it’s sinful, immoral inhabitants.

Essentially, the Hero discussed in this song, who is ambiguous, would only be prolonging the inevitable, showing a sign of sympathy and understanding for the people too afraid to stand up for the world on Marvin’s part.

Marvin paints a picture of what some would consider an almost pre-apocalyptic world, where singing and nature aren’t allowed by some form of authority.

Marvin painted this picture to warn people that this was where Humanity was heading if they stood by acts of War and injustice.

He holds onto the belief that she is solely sleeping with him when, in fact, she’s not really that into him.

The use of the verb ‘clinging’, suggests she sees him as needy and desperate. This conveys his need for emotional attachment, something which she doesn’t want or need from him.

Amy says that she should know the ropes by now, as this always happens, she can’t be in a relationship for too long, whether it’s her decision or a man’s.

So, as supposedly she’s tried to change her ways for this man, Amy says she should dust off her heels and get back out on the town.

A cougar, may still be out on the town trying to sleep around. A majority of people would see this as immature or pathetic because, really, you should have a stable job and/or a stable relationship by the time you’re in your mid-thirties.

Also, as the woman has grown up, it is clear that her methods of hooking up aren’t up to date.

Much like this man, a lot of the men who pick up women and have one-night stands are unfaithful husbands who’s marriages may be failing (they’ll probably take off their ring to trick you):

Amy says the woman and those similar to her are necessary for this man, too.

This woman is the embodiment of night life, the drugs, the sex, the partying and the hangovers are all major parts of her lifestyle.

Amy says that this woman and others like her are necessary for nightlife to be fun, as there’s always one person who ends up like this outside a club:

She met somebody when she was out and ended up getting ‘caned’, which is British slang, used as a word for being ‘high’ or ‘drunk’.

Much like being smashed, or shit-faced, the woman is so drunk that she’s incoherent.

She’s missed the plane back to the UK, and is, essentially, stuck in Miami. Let’s not forget that she has no money or husband to help her out.

She’s pretty much lost in a foreign place.
