This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
You got your secrets, you got secrets.
Well i'll tell ya anything you wanna know
we'll stay up all night, we'll clean up alright
you can drag me anywhere you wanna go
I feel your pain like a punch in the nose,
we hang out in the darkest of discos.
You got your problems, I bet you got some problems
too many boys on the trampoline
My lemonade girl, da-da-da-da-dah
Fresh squeezing the life out of your dead world.
I feel your pain like a punch in the nose
we hang out in the darkest of discos.
I feel your pain like a punch in the no-oo-ose,
We hang out in the darkest of discos.
I have watched a million footsteps tonight
Living under smoke machines and black lights
I feel your pain like a punch in the nose
we hang out in the darkest of discos
I feel your pain like a punch in the nose
we hang out in the darkest of discos
I feel your pain like a punch in the no-o-oose,
we hang out..in the darkest of discos.
Well i'll tell ya anything you wanna know
we'll stay up all night, we'll clean up alright
you can drag me anywhere you wanna go
I feel your pain like a punch in the nose,
we hang out in the darkest of discos.
You got your problems, I bet you got some problems
too many boys on the trampoline
My lemonade girl, da-da-da-da-dah
Fresh squeezing the life out of your dead world.
I feel your pain like a punch in the nose
we hang out in the darkest of discos.
I feel your pain like a punch in the no-oo-ose,
We hang out in the darkest of discos.
I have watched a million footsteps tonight
Living under smoke machines and black lights
I feel your pain like a punch in the nose
we hang out in the darkest of discos
I feel your pain like a punch in the nose
we hang out in the darkest of discos
I feel your pain like a punch in the no-o-oose,
we hang out..in the darkest of discos.
