but
I never thought/knew it was about lusting after a sixteen year old. I always thought it was about being sweet sixteen.
Being a hungry sweet sixteen and strutting sidewalks from bar to club and being lonely and really insecure.
Plus you fall in love easy when you're sweet sixteen.
I guess our image of Iggy is this really apathetic, kind of intimidating guy who's not really the type we associate with easy marks and broken hearts. Maybe he's not singing about himself directly, but I think he definitely knows intimately what he's singing about. who doesn't, anyway, when they're sixteen.
again, the song isn't very intimate, with its simple riff and simple lyrics, it's a more apathetic, Iggy Pop-style way of looking at our sweet/bitter sixteenth year.
plus this is the era of glam rock, so the leather boots definitely don't necessarily allude to a girl.
Its called Sixteen not Sweet Sixteen
