Rated X Lyrics

Cover art for Rated X lyrics by Neko Case

The song is pretty clear but has some clever lines.

but I think it's wrong to judge every picture if a cheap camera makes a mistake The theme of the song is that divorced women are looked down on but if the husband was a skunk then it's understandabe and she wouldn't hold it against her.

and if you're rated x you're some kind of gold even men turning silver try to make Despite the put downs, mean see a divorced woman as an object of desire and think they can get her even if she's clearly a class above them.

and when your best friend's husband says to you you've sure started lookin' good you should've known he would and he would if he could and he will if you're rated x This really reveals the double standard in society condemning a woman. The husband of her friend would have sex with her behind his wife's back and talk bad about her to his wife. The divorced woman can be taken advantage of.
