My Insatiable One Lyrics

In the high life, I've got this feeling now
I've got this horrible feeling
On the escalator they took it out of him,
As the ridiculous world went by

Oh, he is gone
He's my insatiable one...

On the high wire, dressed in a leotard
There wobbles one hell of a retard
On the escalator we shit paracetamol,
as the ridiculous world goes by

Oh, he is gone
He's my insatiable one
And he was my inflatable one...

Morrissey covered this song live.

Respect.

To quote Mr. Anderson, "This is a song about gay anal sex."

I find it hard to disagree with him.

I dunno, maybe you're thinking of "the drowners."

This song is about Brett from the perspective of Justine. The inflatable bit is a complete throwaway.

Yeah I agree with fourganger there...

I love this song--but I think it doesn't mean much of anything sensible. More like a surrealist painting, if you ask me.

I think Salvador Dali wanted a conjoined schizoid-analysis to render his Persistence of Memory incalculable. He found it in Sleep
