You know, the liner notes to some blues album I used to have implied that the line "Pig meat is what I crave" was dirty dirty dirty. I've never understood what it was supposed to mean.
I wonder if it's from eating pickled pigs feet and their phallic shape.
"I'm like a one-eyed cat / peeping in a seafood store" is one of my favorites. Anything one-eyed = suspicious in a blues lyric.
Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
She said, Hey honey
Take a walk on the wild side
Candy came from out on the Island
In the backroom she was everybody's darlin'
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
Said, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go
doo do doo do doo do do doo
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City's the place where they said, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
I said, Hey Joe
Take a walk on the wild side
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen 'em go go go
They said, Hey sugar
Take a walk on the wild side
I Said, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
All right, huh
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Said, Hey babe,
Take a walk on the wild side
I said, Hey honey,
Take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls say,
doo do doo do doo do do doo
Subtlety is overrated. Give me "I wanna fuck you like an animal, I wanna feel you from the inside" any day. Let's get straight to the point with "It's your sex I can smell."
"pig meat" = "pork" = "fuck", I think is how that one goes.
this is going from a squint your eyes and read on place to a why you got to be so nasty place.
Holly
Candy (Most beautiful drag queen ever, I think)
Jackie
Joe
Sugar Plum Fairy
(Most beautiful drag queen ever, I think)
I know at least 3 who could give her a run for her money.
And all of them were Andy Warhol subjects, yes?
