I love what Robert Smith said in a 2003 interview: "All pop songs are basically saying ‘please go to bed with me.’ So I’m going to make it as blatant as possible, set it to this cheesy synth riff – everything I hated about music at that time. It was junk. Lol and I recorded it, Fiction put it out, and suddenly we’re getting 15 plays a day on American radio. Sod’s law, isn’t it." I think it's supposed to be funny. They just want to have sex but spend the whole night being coy and shy about it, then finally get down to it - by that time they're too tired to have any pretense.
