Adult Books Lyrics
Many, many guys and girls
all real beauties
Everybody making a stab
They hurt themselves
Singles rule the world
Feeding on fresh blood
one track eye
below the belt
All in a line, all in a line
they're all in a line like
Adult books
I don't understand
Jackie Susanne
meant it that way
Adult books
I don't understand
Jackie Susanne
she meant it that way
Clifford shackles Jane
Throws her on the floor
She says, no, no, yes
and he cuts the chain
Do plenty people go for Tomata?
Yes
but he just goes for that special girl
who says, "No"
All in a line, all in a line
They're all in a line like
Adult books
I don't understand
Jackie Susanne
meant it that way
Adult books
I don't understand
Jackie Susanne
She meant it that way
All in a line, all in a line
They're all in a line
Adult books
I don't understand Jackie Susanne
She meant it that way (4x)
Adult books (8x)
all real beauties
Everybody making a stab
They hurt themselves
Feeding on fresh blood
one track eye
below the belt
they're all in a line like
I don't understand
Jackie Susanne
meant it that way
I don't understand
Jackie Susanne
she meant it that way
Throws her on the floor
She says, no, no, yes
and he cuts the chain
Yes
but he just goes for that special girl
who says, "No"
They're all in a line like
I don't understand
Jackie Susanne
meant it that way
I don't understand
Jackie Susanne
She meant it that way
They're all in a line
I don't understand Jackie Susanne
She meant it that way (4x)

I always felt this was more about damning the easy of sex in the post sexual revolution 70s. There was a feeling that it was more punk to go against normality and get married which I remember reading an interview in which John expressed it as one of the reasons he and Exene got married.
The thing that always confused me about this song is the reference to Tomata Du Plenty of the Screamers going for that special girl that says no because he was gay. Though it might have been just an exchange of boy for girl, I've always wondered if it had to do with the fact that he was looking for platonic female companionship.
@davoaxiom That whole second verse, at least to me, is just about kink. Clifford's into bondage, and Jane plays along for a while: but when she finally says "yes", he loses interest (cuts the chains); because he just goes for that special girl who says "no".

As for "tomata" I don't know anything about Tomata Du Plenta, but "tomato" is an old time reference to sex, like "jelly roll" and others.

Shouldn't it be 'All in a lie' i/o 'All in a line'?
Don't worry...I'll correct it.
No, it's 'all in a line.'
No, it's 'all in a line.'

I've mulled this over and over since I changed the lyrics...even had my kid listen to it. After years of thinking it's 'All in a line', I changed my mind to 'All in a lie...but now I think that it may be: ...lie, ...lie, ...line

It's a song about being single, and being ot on the pull. "They're all in a line like adult books" I've had night's like this, lots of attractive girls, which one to go for? "He hoes for that special girl whos says 'no'"
