As for the whole "boy in bush" thing- It's actually a twist on a proverb: "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," which means that it is better to be satisfied with something you have than to risk losing it by trying to get something better you may not succeed in getting.
When he sings the song I always hear this kind of snotty undertone, where he is bashing the whole race of "sex crazed men" who think are obsessed with fucking and dominating. He's referring to them as these naive boys who think they know it all, but secretly, he knows what they're up to. The guy is trying to hit on him, but he kinda sneers and says "oh- just you wait"
So he reverses roles. The guy who thought he'd be the sly little fucker is now pinned under the character singing, being treated like the victim, being whipped and groped, and "he deserves it"
Guys also have mammary glands as well- just not functioning (though some men do) I think he takes that one "feminine" part in men and exploits it, showing the new role the man now has.
"The scholarly room" teaching them a lesson. "Who will swallow who?" I have this perfect image of him ready to pounce on someone, licking his licks and asking "Who do you think is going to dominate who this time? Do you know?" Kinda like a teasing little voice, when all the while you know who will be in control.
As for the proverb- the song to me, as I said before, is kinda (can't find the right word) not pompous or bombastic- but you know what I mean- and I think as you listen to this song there becomes this sensory overload of so many elements- and the proverb is like the obsession the main character has with justice, that he's grabbing out for these men to punish, but he has to control himself.
and the end (my favorite part) It's the end, he's done and used his victim, taught them their lesson about fucking around with people without emotion and now he's walking right out the room laughing, giving him this clever little line about what the once sex crazed boy has just experienced "There's more to life that books you know" He had to demonstrated "But not much more" And the task was as easy as letting the boy know what it's like to be the person being used on his "conjugal bed" (first time experience being dominated)
I dunno... I like it. Morrissey is my hero, so when I hear it I just think "teach those perverts a lesson!" ha. That's just me though
Very interesting way of looking at it. I don't know if I agree but you might well be on to something. I have to say the "Licking lips and ready to pounce" image is really very disturbing but quite funny.

Well I have a completely different take:
