Piccadilly Palare Lyrics

Cover art for Piccadilly Palare lyrics by Morrissey

I always thought the lines: "we plied an ancient trade Where we threw all life's Instructions away" refers to the narrator and his friends turning tricks. It's funny because in the album sleeve for bona drag there's a picture of Morrissey looking like a male prostitute working a street.
