When My Boy Walks Down The Street

I feel like the song contains some subtle commentary on how society perceives homosexuality, as well. The speaker lists a number of absurd metaphors for love, and how awesome his lover is. And then he talks about how he wants to make the guy "my wife." Using "wife" in this context, to describe a man, sort of comes off as absurd, too.

So, in a way, the lyrics can be read as a sort of a provocative challenge to the idea that homosexuality is fundamentally weird or ridiculous or whatever. Same-sex attraction, in other words, comes off as no weirder than love in general.
