| The Pretenders – Tattooed Love Boys Lyrics | 11 years ago |

1. The song was written pre-AIDS so the reference to bandages has nothing to do with that. 2. I really don't think this song has anything to do with prostitution at all. I would say that "sixedheart" above is closest to the interpretation. Being used, finding personal and sexual power, and then seeing the tables turn. 3. My assumption was always that the "changing tires" had something to do with changing rubbers (she is from Ohio, after all), or condoms. 4. "Stop snivelling... plastic surgeon" I believe refers to stop crying or someone will thump you (i.e. rearrange your face). It's a fairly common expression in the UK. If you ever get a chance to see her do this song live, it's insane. Chrissie Hynde is truly amazing. |
