And I quote, from thewhitlams.com ...
"Written by Tim Freedman with his friends from Machine Gun Fellatio ('Isaac & Fuzz'), it starts out as a sentimental lament of love at a distance. But loneliness means falling back on oneself - not always a pretty sight. His exhortations regress into unfettered depravity, resembling the lonely hearts classifieds of Picture Magazine. The velvety strings at the head are gradually swallowed by a wall of guitar, just as, in the lyric, sweet solitude becomes the fuel for carnality. "
