What i love about Gore's lyrics are they're open to interpretation and can mean different things to different people. With Dave singing it's easy to come to the conclusion that its about his drug habit and how he knows he's dicing with death but as he didn't write it i've come the conclusion that maybe Martin was writing about groupies wanting him while he feels like a mess and feels guilty for wanting / enjoying the sex that is laid out on a plentiful plate for him but at also that these people all want something from him that he is unable / unwilling to give.
