Got any interesting thoughts on a set of lyrics? Any that don't involve the word "indeed"? Find yourself struggling to decipher all those obtuse references Von makes? Read "1959 And All That" and still no clearer? Nope, us neither. Postcards found lying in a skip around the back of the Chemists can be found here... Don't say you weren't warned.
No, hey, seriousy, the woman that cleans my house, her daughter's 2nd boyfriend knew this dude she hang out with at the bar whose dad was the orthodontist of the niece of the sound engineer during the Hull recordings. And that chap said so too!
AMAZING!

i also think the mixed up lyric increases the sense of bewilderment and torment you can feel in von's voice...
I always thought it was deliberate and typically "Vonesque"
I would agree with QB and Stoat Grinder, if they used to share a cigarette together before then in that train of thought the cigarette felt warm (as in affection), but now the cigarette doesn't have the same feeling so it feels cold as in he's feeling numb.
The lipstick on the window pain could refer to he's now on the outside of her life looking in.
He is tormented so he does feel numb (cold).
And I ride down the Highway 101
By the side of the ocean, headed for Sunset
