Oh, that's another one. I really like 500 Miles, too. It's probably in my top 5 from that album (along with Welcome to England, Curtain Call, AATS and Fast Horse). I always thought the interp that the song was about sex wasn't right. I think "break it on the bus" refers to the bread, especially since it talks about waking him as the dawn does. I take the whole song to be about a relationship surviving on the road and the little things they do for each other to keep the flame going. Also, I love the brake/break wordplay (and even break as just break or clean break).
