Well I made me a list of lovers from A to infinity
But I couldn't remember the names of half of those
I remember bits of bodies and what they did to me
And whether or not I got them up and made them hum
Oh confusion
Confusion reigns over me
Oh confusion
It breeds, it breeds, it breeds all over me
Well we used your mouths in ways I only dreamt of
You walked the line between acrobat and nun
You took me to the edge in public places
And took me home to share me with your Mum
Oh confusion
Confusion reigns over me
Oh confusion
It breeds, it breeds, it breeds all over me
And I lost my mind in a hotel room in Texas
All I recall is a puffed-up face and t-shirt
And when you came
You just turned into some creature
You're strong
I'm so strong
Oh confusion
Confusion reigns over me
Oh confusion
Confusion reigns over me
Oh confusion
It breeds, it breeds, it breeds all over me
But I couldn't remember the names of half of those
I remember bits of bodies and what they did to me
And whether or not I got them up and made them hum
Confusion reigns over me
Oh confusion
It breeds, it breeds, it breeds all over me
You walked the line between acrobat and nun
You took me to the edge in public places
And took me home to share me with your Mum
Confusion reigns over me
Oh confusion
It breeds, it breeds, it breeds all over me
And I lost my mind in a hotel room in Texas
All I recall is a puffed-up face and t-shirt
And when you came
You just turned into some creature
You're strong
I'm so strong
Confusion reigns over me
Oh confusion
Confusion reigns over me
Oh confusion
It breeds, it breeds, it breeds all over me

This song is about SEX... the narrator has had loads of sexual experiences but has never really connected with anyone emotionally, so now his experiences are all blurring together and confusing him... he's had all sorts of relationships from mundane to daring but they've all been just for the sake of sex.
I think musically this is one of the best songs from the later era of James... Tim Booth apparently never liked it much, hence why it didn't make the Millionaires album. I personally think it's great, and should not only have gone on the album but should have been a single... it would probably have stood a better chance in the charts that the tracks off Millionaires that they did release.
