I think it IS about having sex outside in a playground. Or at least in a park, near the playground, where she's waited for her boy to make his move.
25 years ago for a woman to be this bold about her sexuality, singing about "suggest I open wide," "when I'm up you're coming down" (lifting her hips as he's thrusting), "inside of me," and finally "my aching legs" (after having very active sex). Also, if they were on X, the drug retards orgasm, so it might have gone on for quite a long time.
Heady stuff. Even living in San Francisco and playing in the underground music scene, I wasn't used to women being that matter-of-fact.
And then when I went to see them, Emma was this tiny English librarian-looking girl! And they rocked so hard.
I came away from that show swearing that I was going to start my own shoegaze/dream pop band, and I did. One of the most creatively fulfilling times of my life.
Maybe the sexiest alt-rock song ever.
