NO idea...have you looked for the actual lyrics to this?!

Intended to contrast with "Positive" and "Negative" (accentuate the former,
eliminate the latter...but there still remained four bars to fill...?!)

The idea was that Mr. Bailey had left the scene/town/usw. with EVERY
dommed thing he could carry/haul/otherwise transport; again, that
line of lyrics HAD to fit the song's structure...?! The lyricist had to 
think
of an object which was (1) VERY minimal...and (2) whose name rhymed
with "home!" OTOH, he COULD have written "toothless comb," "map
of Rome," or "mound of foam"...?!
