When I first bought Androgyny I was never taken by it but know I think it's one of the best b-sides from that era.
Reason I fell in love with it was the lyrics really caught me when I properly listened to them.
It's like a letter to a beloved friend or relative warning them to be less reckless and carefree but we should all be allowed to make our own mistakes.
I think its also reassuring them - we love you for who you are, don't be afraid to know people out there are looking out for you.
I too love the lines:
"You started to believe that you're completely unlovable
Which makes us want to laugh 'cause you're adorable
You say you've been depressed but no doubt you'll get over it
And get back on your feet just like a pugilist"
And ....
"It's okay to be afraid of what's inside another mind
An invitation to discover and explore the other side
It's okay to be afraid of finding out you really care
Like a hammer crashing down between the clouds out of the air"
