Old Man Inside a Young Man

From what the title suggests, this song is clearly suggesting an intimate affair between an older man and a younger man. The lyrics are telling "I\'m sick of whores, Madames and misses The only kiss for me Is the kiss of a knife"...The narrator has obviously grown tired of the heteronormative relationships he has otherwise sought. Judging from his use of sex workers, the narrator may not have an easy time charming ladies, and instead, he pays for romance as he struggles to avoid the true nature of his sexuality. the next line "The only kiss for me Is the kiss of a knife" alludes to his desire to engage in fellatio with his fellow man...Billy turned and he walked away\n\n"He said, I must be going\nThere\'s just no knowing\nWho follows me around\nThey see my fancy clothes\nAnd they want to shoot me"\n\nThis passage suggests that they have indeed performed a sex act together and because of the social stigma at the time, need to swiftly separate to avoid being seen by any wandering eyes who may identify bring harm upon them. \n\n"I\'m an old man inside a young man\nYou\'ve got to take it while you can"\n\nDo I need to say more? this line basically is what gave it away for me.\n\nHappy listeing everybody!
