This song could be about that perverted radical Leftist who came and trashed The Party on a Friday that he apologized for it Saturday for the damage done, to only do it again Sunday that he finally got throwned out for it. Where he just wanted to have some fun there trying to make and convert this rigid girl from her disciplined conservative ways. By which she thinks he's crazy for not wanting to be ''saved'' from the things he does. And he thinks she might be Right, but also too righteous of a girl that may be looking for some crazy lunatic person to satisfy her.
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
