The clangy in between bits are just where you have a guitar with a floating bridge
and you hit the wrong side of it. If you get what I mean.

The strumming for the chorus is:
F5 - up and down
G#5 - fast down only
C5 - as above
B5 - up and down
Bb5 - fast down only

No Picture Thomas Average	#2 by Thomas Buckman at Oct 10, 1973 at 2:48 PM EST
	brian molko is a very kewl nancy boy and hes not ashamed of it , and he shouldnt be. nancy boys are the coolest type of boys around coz they just dont care what others think of them!

No Picture Scott Average	#3 by Scott Anderson at Dec 9, 1975 at 4:04 PM EST
	An anthem for all the girly boys of the world, Nancy Boy represents the next generation of males who care as much about gender roles as modern girls do. You don;t have to do what you were told growing up as a boy, the world is open and waiting for you. Grab your mascara, get yourself a groovy skirt and live your life in total freedom. If, that is, you want to. Choice. That's what it's all about. Girls have been fighting for choice for the last century and boys, sorry, but you're being left behind. Forget sexuality for just one moment and do what the hell makes you feel happy.

	As my friend says, "Brian Molko is the sexiest ugly man alive." I lurve this song with some sort of passion. It just makes so much sense and none at all.

No Picture Derek Lead Player	#5 by Derek O'Kanos at Jun 10, 1982 at 11:37 PM EST
	I agree 100% with forevergreen, but what your failing to mention is the other character mentioned in the song..I think the song is about being scared of commiting sexually and scared of intimacy..like the mention of the paper bag..the guy wants the sex but can't stand to face his partner in the face during sex. If you watch the video you'll notice the girls face turn hideous and more masculine, this is represented (or at last i think) Brians early sexual partners..on the verge of coming he would feel complete repulse for them.

No Picture Travis Wanna Be	#6 by Travis Alford at Apr 25, 1985 at 8:00 PM EST
	its true Forevergreen, i tell my male friends they should stand up for their gender rights, just like us girls have tried to do. unless everyone helps, nothing will be accomplished!

No Picture Razor wrist Lead Player	#7 by Razor wrist at Jun 24, 1995 at 3:08 PM EST
	I like this song, it is cute. Brian is very sexy.... hehe (Sorry, I am sorta... obsessed.... -.-' )

No Picture Dan Average	#8 by Dan Johnson at Apr 18, 2001 at 7:30 AM EST
	It's all about the lead singer who isn't afraid to be feminine. I think it's a great song even if you can't understand what he's saying.
