I've always thought that the reason Gord paired up "For Lovin' Me" with "Ribbon of Darkness" later in his career was to counter the chavinism in the first piece. "For Lovin' Me" is the boast, but "Ribbon of Darkness" is the admission by the character that he's blown it and has lost "since my true love walked out the door."

But maybe that's just obvious??
