S-The subject of this is a good old desk, or God, depending on if you view it with the symbolism or not.
N-The narrator probably works in an office building in a cubicle. I think it would be safe to say the desk is his.
A-The audience is people who listen to this genre of music, specifically Harry Nilsson fans.
P-The purpose of this song is to describe a relationship, maybe a symbolic one, between a man and his desk (or something else).
It changes my impression of the song to know that Good Old Desk is an acronym for God because I thought that it was just a weird song about a man who liked his desk. Now I understand the deeper feelings he has about God and the real life connections he is able to make to relationships.
Lyrics that point to this symbolism:
1.) "it's always there"
2.) "the one thing I've got, a huge success"
3.) "keep my hopes alive"
