the last part of the song sounds like the compromises you make going into a long time relationship..."ill say your prayers, ill take your side, ill find a way......" now, i cant imagine compromising my personal beliefs enough to tell a person "ill pray" if it is something i don't believe in, but whatever..... it sounds like a lifelong commitment.. "Ill dig your grave" same as "till death do us part" kind of vow... "we'll dance and sing" kind of a positive way to view the years they will spend together.... the whole song seems to be a promise to be there for someone for the rest of your life and doing everything it takes to make that person happy.... in that way along the same theme as "wishlist".....

now, is it possible that the character in the song is a character in a theme type album? Tommy, Quadrophenia, The Wall, American Idiot, Greendale..... all are character based theme albums... is it possible that The Fixer is a character in an overall story told in Backspacer? the tracklist can read a chapters in a story.... and "got some" easily be read as a character's point of view as well.

now, obviously, i have no idea what I'm talking about, but it is something to think about while every other thread is stating that The fixer is the equivalent to a commercial jingle or a sit com theme song.
