| I agree with the general idea - but I'm not sure that there's meant to be any direct connection here (no pun intended) to Bobby in the lyric. I don't think the song is about HIM in any direct way - it's Marta's impressions of the crazy/busy life in Manhattan for sure, but it seems to me that the subject of this section of the song is the more general "they" she keeps mentioning ("they meet at parties" etc) rather than Bobby specifically. Bobby can and would certainly be one member of the "they," of course - but it's not just about him. | |

| You are quite correct. I don't know why I tried to equate that with Bobby. | |

| I’m getting a kick out of these yunguns not understanding the concept of a service. See: Bells are Rining. How many times has someone said I’ll call and not really mean it. Ha ha | |

| I'm old enough to understand answering services, but I don't think the lyric makes sense, if you think about it. I still love it, though. | |

| I think it is just part of the fragmented frenzy of chatter the character perceives city life to be: "I'll meet you there, no I'll pick you up, no we'll let it go" | |
