| Sonic Youth – Swimsuit Issue Lyrics

I think Kim is poking fun at the harassing men, who compare women they are supposed to be working with to models from swimsuit issues. At the end she sarcastically reads the names of these models, and then pretends these photos are really about swimming (and not excuses to gawp at the scantily clad models). |

I think she's asking him to have sex with her (like Caligula had with his sisters), but he's gay and he flees. There are always ambiguous references to being gay in the Smiths' songs. |

the lyrics playfully hint at sex without spelling it out (and getting censored). The first line ends with ...ex, so you expect the second line to be about something that she loves that also ends with ..ex. She changes it at the end to "undress" which doesn't rhyme.
Also "touch your head" is a bit of a random expression (not his lips, for instance, which would be more romantic), but it hints at "giving him head."
There are probably more that I missed. |

you guys, she definitely is a brilliant artist, but is no one going to comment on the meaning of the lyrics? I think she's falling in love with a woman and grappling with the feeling that she's sinning, so that's why she's telling herself that Jesus *didn't* die for her sins. |
