A new girl appears in the narrator’s life. She shows interest in him and all of a sudden his previous limits-the sky-are severed.

Referencing the decay of happiness and loss of passion that sets into many relationships the longer they last.
This could actually be an incredibly personal line from Turner. Only weeks after the release of Suck It And See, his four year relationship with TV presenter Alexa Chung ended. When he wrote this line, he may be referring to his own failing relationship.
Possibly be a reference to another line Alex wrote from the Last Shadow Puppets song “Meeting Place”
They knew the time would come
And time would be cruel
Because it is cruel to everyone

John Lennon’s famous ad lib before the song was played on the Saville Row rooftop; ‘Sweet Loretta Fart, she though she was a cleaner, but she was a frying pan’, further emphasizes how much this song is just a series of non-sequiturs with an inventive blues backdrop.
NOT before the rooftop performance. The dialogue present before the song starts in the album version is taken from the original take. Spector restored it in context and gave this fake rooftop impression, which was even more concretized with the end of the rooftop concert edited at the end of the take.
Loretta is a character of the movie “Life of Brian” from Monty Python. in the coliseum, Stan said that he was from that moment a woman, and he wanted to have babies.
