No Picture Brennan Wanna Be	#1 by Brennan unknown at Nov 17, 1992 at 8:17 AM EST
	When seen in the context of the rest of the album, it is the meeting of "He" and "She" in the Perfect Element. From the looks of it, they get together and have sex. They realise they are both screwups, but keep copulationg copiously anyway.

No Picture stephen Average	#2 by stephen warunki at Dec 30, 1992 at 3:38 PM EST
	the 12:5 version of the song?? the original version?? i don't know which is better They both make me climax

No Picture Pasquale Average	#3 by Pasquale at Sep 20, 1998 at 6:03 AM EST
	this is a fairly depressing song as it is mainly about prostition with hints of child abuse. 'Youve given ure body just to belong', is a person selling their body to earn money and fit in.
