Sexuality

I've had relations with girls from many nations
I've made passes at women of all classes
And just because you're gay I won't turn you away
If you stick around I'm sure that we can find some common ground

Chorus:
Sexuality - Strong and warm and wild and free
Sexuality - Your laws do not apply to me

A nuclear submarine sinks off the coast of Sweden
Headlines give me headaches when I read them
I had an uncle who once played for Red Star Belgrade
He said some things are really best left unspoken
But I prefer it all to be out in the open

Sexuality - Strong and warm and wild and free
Sexuality - Your laws do not apply to me
Sexuality - Don't threaten me with misery
Sexuality - I demand equality

I'm sure that everybody knows how much my body hates me
It lets me down most every time and makes me rash and hasty
I feel a total jerk before your naked body of work

I'm getting weighed down with all this information
Safe sex doesn't mean no sex it just means use your imagination
Stop playing with yourselves in hard currency hotels
I look like Robert De Niro, I drive a Mitsubishi Zero

Sexuality - Strong and warm and wild and free
Sexuality - Your laws do not apply to me
Sexuality - Come eat and drink and sleep with me
Sexuality - We can be what we want to be

Sexuality.. "... the victorians pretended it didn't exist... the moderns pretend that nothing else exists" - Fulton J. Sheen. It's a flame which can scortch or be an eternal torch. - unknown, but I heard it somewhere

That about says it all. And I thought "I've got a girl with a bow in her hair, and nothing is better than that, is it?" was a good line.

This album wasn't as good as Worker's Playtime, but I think it was because Billy was going away from his guy with a guitar thing. Anyhow, more Billy is always good.

I had an uncle who once played for Red Star Belgrade A line that always makes me smile.:D I like this song, although it's not his best effort. I can never reconcile its oh-so-earnest 'safe sex' premise with the frankly daft verse lyrics ("I look like Robert De Niro, I drive a Mitsubishi Zero." What?) Still, I am surprised by the low rating for this song, given its contagious catchiness.

Bleh, I couldn't hit the mute button fast enough. I'd rather listen to my co-workers blab than this song.

I generally agree. However his work with Wilco is quite good.

Maybe this track is too Britpop for you but listen out for his more political tracks - intelligent and hard-hitting.

I forgot about this stupid song. Too bad I was just reminded of it.

Thought I just heard this song on the LRC--a brand spankin' new transplant. Funny song--who doesn't have some concern about sexuality?
