Sometimes you coming deep inside Sometimes it doesn’t touch the sides Like a sausage up an alleyway If their talking bout sex with a prostitute they're strangely unfitting lyrics for libertine's standards

when pete went to rehab in thailand he aprently ran away to bankok to find drugs so the song could maybe be about that...
