I think in one of the articles somewhere she does indeed identify it as being about the maid, it certainly plays out that way: Look you live here like a star Rent free suite Big blue pool that you sun by Trips to tropic shores Clothes from fancy stores And I'm assuming this part refers to her catholicism with the icons, lighting of candles, etc. Going to the church You chant For my downfall I do admit to loving the "you'd eat your long alive, for a Jaguar in the drive" line - man, it's acidically harsh, and justifiably so. But musically you're right, the melody doesn't stick. It's the NRH equivalent of "The Tea Leaf Prophecy"...an interesting sidebar based on some autobiographical data, but not much of a song I'm afraid. Bob NP: Bruce, "Tunnel Of Love"
