"Moving" as written by Bernard Butler and Brett Anderson....
Shame on me well I had the beast you see
And if he can take it I can take him home with me
Shame on her she's a lovely little number
And when we go lassoing you get lassoed all of you
If you can take it I can take it
And we're moving so moving so we are a boy we are a girl
So moving so moving
Shame on the girl she's got a big black dog in her
And while tough kids sing about tough kids she just skins the world
We'll never never play the harp, and we'll stick like sick on the stars
And if you can take it I can take these stones from my heart
If you can take it, I can take it
And we're moving, so moving, so we are a boy we are a girl
So moving, so moving
If you can take it, I can take it, all of me
If you can take it, I can take it all
If you can take it, I can take it, all of me
If you can take it, I can take it all!
And if he can take it I can take him home with me
Shame on her she's a lovely little number
And when we go lassoing you get lassoed all of you
If you can take it I can take it
And we're moving so moving so we are a boy we are a girl
So moving so moving
Shame on the girl she's got a big black dog in her
And while tough kids sing about tough kids she just skins the world
We'll never never play the harp, and we'll stick like sick on the stars
And if you can take it I can take these stones from my heart
If you can take it, I can take it
And we're moving, so moving, so we are a boy we are a girl
So moving, so moving
If you can take it, I can take it, all of me
If you can take it, I can take it all
If you can take it, I can take it, all of me
If you can take it, I can take it all!

It's almost the Suede blue-print.
But anyway, I think this is similar to Electricity, about the truth and innocence of casual bisex and 'sexuality; big black dog is a ref. to Animal Nitrate (video), so despite bad experience (or because of it) she ignores surface pretensions - tough kids - and skins them all: looks beneath the surface and/or gives them her skin, so to speak. And 'she' could mean female or male. I think thats the idea, anyway.
