For everyone saying they are gay, they are not. Two are married to women(Nick and Paul), Bob is straight, and one of the songs on the album "Eleanor Put Your Boots Back On" is about Alex's ex-girlfriend. Before the first album was released Alex was also dating a female textile maker.
Now, as for the song, it is what Alex heard at a party in the Transmission Art Gallery, the entire song is about girls offering sex for Alex, so I don't think they are gay. Like "he's a friend and he's so proud of you" would refer to their boyfriends being proud of Alex, and "your famous friend well I blew him before you" could refer to them saying that it's okay if he has sex with them, they have had sex with famous people before, despite the fact that they have boyfriends. I took this from Alex Kapranos himself, he never mentions anybody's names in the song to protect their identities from their boyfriends.
