X – Los Angeles Lyrics 12 years ago
The song is about Exene's friend from Florida who was a racist and homophobic. There is a number of references to her in "We Got the Neutron Bomb : The Untold Story of L.A. Punk" book. I can't remember her name and don't have the book handy. She was not will liked by the time she left. In the movie "X - The Unheard Music" I believe the character in the car and the one that wrote the letter to Slash was her.

In a way the song is about live style of living a 7 day weekend. The days turn to night is a reference to this and the idea that all toys being worn out. Also her only best friend is referring to most of the scene disliking her and she had worn out her wlecome.

X – Adult Books Lyrics 12 years ago
I always felt this was more about damning the easy of sex in the post sexual revolution 70s. There was a feeling that it was more punk to go against normality and get married which I remember reading an interview in which John expressed it as one of the reasons he and Exene got married.

The thing that always confused me about this song is the reference to Tomata Du Plenty of the Screamers going for that special girl that says no because he was gay. Though it might have been just an exchange of boy for girl, I've always wondered if it had to do with the fact that he was looking for platonic female companionship.

NOFX – I, Fatty Lyrics 12 years ago
The reference to Only 12 years old is about Arbuckle's mother's death and his father's abandonment and refusal to support him at age 12.

The reference to powder I believe is about his addiction to Morphine. Also the pain reference could be that at the time of the famed party he was suffering from 2nd degree burns on his buttocks.

Not sure about your friends turning on you because most of them stood up for him.

He was more a victim of blackmailer Bambina Maude Delmont,an over jealous DA named Matthew Brady and Citizen Kane himself William Randolph Hearst's media machine.
