Just in case someone tries to run with his conspiracy theory. They should know what they are getting themselves into. :D

And as for the topic....AGAIN....

not gay...just shite

The rumors certainly aren't helped by the cover art for the single. It just screams "Erasure."

I liked the cover art for it, but Arthur Baker's remix and the video were crap. Anyways, who cares about what it might mean. We all have our own opinions as to what the song may be about.

It's interesting that so many NO songs are androdgenous (where's the NOOL spellcheck function)... always got me wondering...

You mean "androgynous"? A lot of their songs don't mention any gender at all, and songs can mean different things to different people, regardless of whatever gender or sexual orientation the actual singer may be.

That's so true.

but anyway, who really cares about N.O 'lyrics ??? Barney ain't Bob Dylan! isn't he?

The question itself is from the mouth of one of my mates (we were doing a bit of music, the shuffle on my iTunes came up with 1963, and as soon as it came up with the "he used to think of me" line he screamed "AAAAAAH HA HA HAAAAA! HOMOS!!!"). But it's interesting, the JFK connection never struck me, thanks all.

Choose from

(a) all their songs are about gay sex, didn't you know? or (b) the lyrics are mostly just random nonsense that emerges from Barny's drug frazzled noddle, and trying to analyse them is the first sign of madness (The second sign is taking Paul Morley's writing seriously).
