Flesh For Fantasy Lyrics
There's a change in pace
Of fantasy and taste
Do you like good music?
Do you like to dance? Oh yeah.
Hangin' out for a body shop at night
Ain't it strange what we do to feel alright? Oh yeah.
So when will you call?
I'm experienced Oh yeah
Face to face
And back to back
You see and feel
My sex attack
Sing it
Flesh, flesh for fantasy
We want
Flesh, flesh for fantasy
It's after midnight
Are you feelin' alright oh yeah
Turn on the light, babe
Are you someone else tonight?
Neighbour to neighbour, door to door
Don't ask questions, there's time for it all Oh yeah.
Face to face
And back to back
You see and feel
My sex attack
Sing it
Flesh, flesh for fantasy
We cry
Flesh, flesh for fantasy
I sing for culture...
Father loves his son,
Mothers, daughters, too.
It's an old old story,
Cries the new world too.
Flesh, flesh for fantasy
We want
Flesh, flesh for fantasy
We want
Flesh, flesh for fantasy
You cry
Flesh, flesh for fantasy
Of fantasy and taste
Do you like good music?
Do you like to dance? Oh yeah.
Hangin' out for a body shop at night
Ain't it strange what we do to feel alright? Oh yeah.
So when will you call?
I'm experienced Oh yeah
And back to back
You see and feel
My sex attack
Sing it
Flesh, flesh for fantasy
We want
Flesh, flesh for fantasy
Are you feelin' alright oh yeah
Turn on the light, babe
Are you someone else tonight?
Neighbour to neighbour, door to door
Don't ask questions, there's time for it all Oh yeah.
And back to back
You see and feel
My sex attack
Sing it
Flesh, flesh for fantasy
We cry
Flesh, flesh for fantasy
Mothers, daughters, too.
It's an old old story,
Cries the new world too.
We want
Flesh, flesh for fantasy
We want
Flesh, flesh for fantasy
You cry
Flesh, flesh for fantasy

An old friend always told me, "If you see a hot chick, and you know will never see her again, eye-fuck the shit out of her." I think it is about the truly visceral sexual drive people feel, even when it is a different person every second. The fantasy of unsampled flesh. "Doin' the time" is a reference to getting caught eye-fucking. It transcends gay or straight. It is all flesh.
From Billy Idol's autobiography, Dancing With Myself: "'Do you like good music / Do you like to dance.' I wrote the lyric as if it were a sexual advert someone had placed in a newspaper or magazine.
[...] It is strange what mental and chemical processes our minds and bodies go through that send us searching deep into the night for sexual satisfaction. Some people took my advert literally. Mainly, it's a song that spoke to the audiences of the time, who were in the process of discovering their own sexualities."
it kinda sounds like a sex song to me. i love it.
...mmm flesh for fantasy
Great Song
Great Song
This song reminds me of Jeffrey Dahmer. but it's still hot.
A (gay) co-worker told me this song is about Billy fantasizing about being gay.
Could this song be about prostitution? Almost all the lyrics tell me so, specially this part
Hangin' out for a body shop at night Ain't it strange what we do to feel alright
It sounds more to me like how people go out for one night stands, trying to get lost in the sea of bodies they experience time after time. Using flesh, sex as a means to get by.
'Are you someone else tonight? Neighbor to Neighbor Door to Door'
When you really think about it, some people don't give their names when it comes to those types of encounters. Giving a fake name, and fake information, because who cares once you've done it and you don't see them gain, anyway.
Father loves his son mother, daughter too It's an old old story cries the new world order
Point blank, since this a 'fantasy' getting lost in fantasies psychically. He could be suggesting the people doing this are looking for love where they didn't have it before. Just my opinion.
