So, a top mate recently introduced me to The The - 80s sleazy pop act extraordinaire. I have a new favourite band. Currently listening to their album Infected - in particular, the track Out of the Blue (Into the Fire) Seriously cool lyrics, apparently about spending time with a 'lady of the night'
"She was lying on her back with her lips parted, squealing like a stuffed pig.
I was going through the motions, faking the emotions, wriggling around like a lizard on a tin.
I was trying so hard to please myself, I was turning into somebody else."
There's something so cool, sleazy and downright dirty about those lyrics.
When Woody Allen was asked "Is sex dirty?" he replied "Only if it's done right."
I'm inclined to agree.
