By this time they were living together and from what it sounds spending most of their time together. In Storms she claims to have been a muse for the Tusk songs. 'Buy another fixture' was probably related to her home-making. At around the time the song was written she was trying to break into modelling and (apparently) Lindsey wasn't happy about it. 'You're never gonna make it baby' is a possible reference to his attitude to her career. In Storms I think she claims this to have been the start of his (alleged) abusive behavior towards her- perhaps influencing the line 'You can love me baby but you cant walk out'.
Not sure what the title means though.

If you've only read Carol's book, I can see why you would think that. But Lindsey has only ever commented on the subject matter of two of his Tusk songs- and only because he was directly asked what they were about. They are "That's Enough for Me" and "What Makes You Think You're the One" He says both were about Stevie.
