Flans is at his best when he plays it straight or surreal. When he can punch this hard why does he then relegate the track to obscure collections when drivel like prevenge and drink! clog up the official releases. (Mr Tuck)
Because he's a good businessman, and knows that only a certain slice of his audience is urban and coastal Middle America does not want to hear about men singing torch songs to other men - he knows that one of the appealing parts about TMBG to parents buying CDs for their little darlings is that TMBG isn't sexual in general and low in cursing in official releases. Why screw that up? Give him a little credit. :)
This appears to be the only TMBG song that discusses a homosexual relationship. (Please edit this if I'm wrong!) The lyrics are straighforward: The narrator fell in love with someone who turned out to be a con man, and though he learned from the experience, he is still in love, and still very hurt, and still having a little trouble accepting the truth.
No. You're not wrong at all.
Watch the film "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and all will be revealed
I'd like to point out that The Day also discusses homosexuality, or, at the very least, same-sex marriage. Tutt 10:35, 18 Apr 2006 (CDT)
Supposedly Hell Hotel also discusses homosexuality, according to the sex category. --AnklePants 05:44, 7 August 2006 (UTC) Update: Hell Hotel is no longer featured in the sex category.
