Growing up in the sixties I saw so many jokes start with 'borrowing sugar from the neighbor', which always implied sex. I'm convinced that he speaks to that same scenario. "She's my neighbor, fill my cup" is where it starts. "Will she gimme gimme some?" says it all, to me. He also refers to her as a unique lover.
Then he states that his friends want to see her put the sugar on his tongue - so anything's possible!
Now - how about the music? This song was twenty years ahead of its time, like so much from Talking Heads.

Thanks to DB and the group for this gem!
