Many to discuss, but let's start with "Winter":
Bell, book, and candle - some kind of academic reference?
Restoration plays - Shakespeare?
Please help me with these and list your own.

I don't understand "Till the next time we say goodbye, I'll be thinking of you". Wouldn't it be "Till the next time we say Hello?" Or am I over thinking it ?

How does it mean a gun? (Other than ventilating people by putting holes in them?)

bacchanal: get drunk ('bacchanalia' in ancient Rome were festivities devoted to the god Bacchus)

What about politesse? A word that no dictionary knows. Does he mean politeness or what? Was it ever questioned or explained?

This refers to playing cards. Sixes and sevens and nines are insignificant cards of lowest value.

Er, I think it’s rather a reference to “dice.”
In craps, rolling sixes, sevens, and nines can be good or bad, depending on the situation. In 2010, Mick revealed he knew very little about gambling. A housekeeper in France (or was it LA?) explained it to him.

"Since you 86-ed me, pretty beat up"
So, it means "Since you removed me"?
Thanks
