Starting him off with this one as I'm segging in from here.
Like Florence, a very Fourish 7w6 with 9w11w2, but he's an sx/sp midstream 'Mesmerizer' sp/SX stacking, which hugely amplifies the Fourishness. I thought of this song when I mentioned 'food and furnishings' indicating sp, though the wine and the suitcase are the dregs of food and furniture that go with the skull (when you choose to live without love). Hitchcock himself has said he writes about three things: sex, food, and death.

Re: Robyn Hitchcock
His dreams get a lot more...weavy.
Here's the young and mature versions of the same song. Posting lyrics and highlighting the changes he made below. And you should know what the Chinese bones are.

Lyrics
(changes in new version in purple)
Watching Romeo dissolve I was tempted to join him
By the mirror of the lake where the statues unfurled
I had never seen a man so abuse his reflection
As the light shines through your Chinese bones
Watching Juliet implode I would hasten toward her
But around her feet I saw that her serpent was curled
And her eyeballs had rolled up so her pupils had vanished
And the light shines through your Chinese bones
As the light shines through your Chinese bones
I met an interesting dwarf and I told him a story
As he walked towards the east then the shadow was right
I met an interesting door and I opened it slowly
As you walk toward the East then your shadow must rise
Something Shakespeare never said was “You've got to be kidding”
As the light shines through your Chinese bones
As the light shines through your Chinese bones
The line between us is so thin I might as well be you
And everywhere I've ever been I know you're going to
As the light shines through your Chinese bones.
Chinese bones (once)
Chinese bones.

Re: 479 Robyn Hitchcock
As to why the change from sx/sp to sp/SX, there's plenty more where this came from.
