Members mightysasquatch Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 Gay sex. Seriously. "Put jelly on your shoulder"The "jelly" is KY, and it's on the shoulder for easy reaching? lost me there...... "Let us do what you fear mostThat from which you recoilbut which still makes your eyes moist" It's about a homophobic closeted gay man experiencing gay sex for the first time. The narrator is doing the seducing. "Margherita" is guy who named himself after something he liked, ala "Candy Darling". Some people also think it's about a guy trying to convince his woman to try anal sex. "and no kinds of love are better than others" Meaning homosexual love is still love and therefore not lesser.

Members Angry Tele Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 I still think its about sunburn...Your body recoils when applying the cooling balm and it makes your eyes water when it gets in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope many of Reeds songs are about the drug and gay scene in the sixties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
