Lyric discussion by deadeyeduck 

Cover art for Stacked Crooked lyrics by New Pornographers, The

its not entirely clear to me but , yeah the prostitute idea seems plausible...'red light of the hours', 'your fingers in my mouth' 'I counted on my private out to mount'...

totally best part: the ending!

Do not, do not deny me Deny my right to feel Do not, do not deny me My Achilles heel Do not, do not deny my Attention to detail Do not, do not deny me The clicking of the heels

if we are thinkin along whore lines here, then it could be about the guy falling for this prostitute and she's not havin it...she's denying his right to have feelings for her. 'achilles heel': she's his weakness not sure about the rest.

peace

Except that the first line is "I counted on / my private Altamont" in reference to the infamous Altamont concert of 1969 featuring the Rolling Stones and others, at which four people were killed.
