“you’re makin’ out with school kids, winos and heads of state.
you even made it with the lady,
who puts the little plastic bobins on the christmas cakes.
butchers’ assistants and bellhops, you’ve had them all here and there.
children of god and their joy-strings, international women with no body hair.” – Buzzcocks
