Don't be ashamed, embrace your sexuality. Nice pig by the way. Can't say I've studied the lyrics, but isn't it obviously about drugs....? Anyway who cares when it's a bit of a thigh tappin' foot stompin' classic from the velvets... Not me that's for sure missus!

hehe yes, but you don't know what he does with his escort. still might hurt the next day. see venus in furs... but yeah, i think the escort interpretation is something of an extra. especially the stomping music suggests the more obvious drug reading. Like someone is nervously waiting for his shot, body shaking and all. Still, it's good he kept the lyrics ambiguous - doesn't hurt the quality at all.

Well, I can kind of understand the male escort interpretation somewhat, but the last verse completely denies it. I doubt a girl would just 'shout' if you were sleeping with another man. Plus, I doubt she'd find out abruptly, like she would if you were on heroin. Plus 'I'm feeling oh so fine until tomorrow but that's just another time' is definitely in relation to drugs, and not to a male escort.

Nico herself actually agreed with the male escort interpretation. Anybody else feel that this is one of their songs with the strongest dylan influence? especial lou's intonation. Could hear dylan sing this. Anyway, brilliant song.

"Great song...and yeah, this could either be interpreted as he's going to pick up some drugs or he's paying for a male escort....either way, depends on how you look at it." Anyone who thinks this song is about a male escort should never ever discuss music again in their lives.
