| Tying in with the entire album this about 'emptiness' and attacking consumerism. Prostitution is used as an analogy, to ignore that leaves out the real songmeaning. | |

| The line "he's a boy, you want a girl so tear off his cock tie his hair in bunches, fuck him, call him Rita if you want " is, in my opinion, about consumerism and an attempt to show the absurdity of the capitlist mantra of "supply and demand." IE, just because somebody wants something doesn't necessarily mean they should get it. | |

| matt675, you've got it completely right [in my opinion]. While the song is quite obviously about prostitution, I've read in a lot of places that this could also be about Richey's inability to say yes. "I eat and I dress and I wash and I can still say thank you puking - shaking - sinking I still stand for old ladies can't shout, can't scream, hurt myself to get pain out " To me, that whole part is an example of that. | |

| the intro isnt on here. but it goes something like "you can buy her. you can buy her, you can buy her" over and over. i love the chorus "he's a boy, you want a girl so tear off his cock. tie his hair in bunches, fuck him, call him rita if you want". it amuses me. | |

| richeye, www.manics.nl says that 'T' is slang among prostitutes for tossing off clients. matt675 the kitteness and paulothemanio all make great points about the double meanings. Love this song, one of my favorites! | |

| I've heard that story, and I also wondered if it was true. What I read was that kids kept playing near the cliff and falling off, and the town decided that putting up a fence would be too expensive, so instead they'd put an ambulance at the bottom. So it was like just waiting for people to get hurt, instead of doing something to prevent it. Pretty sick. | |
