| Why would that not be Nico? She grew up poor in war-torn Germany. Winter clothes and broken sandal straps probably alludes to that. | |
| King Crimson – One More Red Nightmare Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Maybe "red" is a reference to a red-eye flight (one taken at night)? | |

Katie, it's "trashy" (or immature for a better term) because the ONLY reason girls write garbage like this is to imitate male behaviour. That's not "chauvinistic", if anything, it's chauvinistic to imply that male sex drives are superior by making it cool to imitate them. And Republicans are no more chauvinist than Democrats are, or any more self-serving in general. I highly doubt these lyrics are intended as irony like someone else suggested because virtually all of her songs are like this. |

Feedyourhead, a girl would not be "doing everything he wants" if she herself did not enjoy it or find it suitable for her own needs. If self-esteem was an issue, then she wouldn't have had the power to control and push around early in the relationship. The fact of the matter is that there are many women (and men) who find submissiveness preferable, and always will regardless of the judgement they get from you or anyone else. Also, where did you get "sitting back and laughing" from? |

The song is about a BDSM relationship, and no, that is not "sexist" because the woman in the song CHOOSES such an arrangement. "Feminists" (i.e. female politicians) expressing opposition to this song is laughably ironic as it completely flies in the face of female liberation, which was intended to give women rights and freedoms and not treat them as infantile beings incapable of understanding their own needs and making decisions accordingly. The only people who criticise ANY type of relationship consisting of consenting adults are nothing more than judgemental bluenoses. The woman in the song initially "pushed around" the male subject because she did not respect a man who wasn't dominant. Once he exerted power and influence, she became satisfied with the relationship which was compatible to her needs. It seems most people are too blind to realise that SHE was the one who made the change in him; either that or they're daft enough to believe that women alternate between attraction to submissive and dominant men. And as has already been mentioned, if the submissive character in the song was male (whether he be straight or homosexual) there would likely be little protest; entirely due of course to political correctness. The reverse equivalent would be a masuclinist group opposing Iggy Pop's 'I Wanna Be Your Dog', which would of course be considered high comedy by our contemporary society. It's unfortunate double standards have to rear their ugly heads even when art is concerned. |
