These lyrics are missing, at least, the first lines that begin,
"I slept with Sable when she was thirteen"
which are apparently an accurate account of Iggy Pop's statutory rape of Sable Starr, who was still underage when she became attached to Johnny Thunders. Starr and other "baby groupies" describe sexual encounters with David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Jeff Beck, and other Seventies rock stars when the girls were still in middle school, according to some accounts as young as 12.
The authenticity of some claims have been questioned, and it's long past time when any legal liability exists, but these stories and this song's lyrics point to horrific sexual abuse of children by some of rock's most famous male performers.
@rikdad You’re not wrong, and this is not intended as an “excuse”, nor is it intended as an “ok” for rock stars to sleep with underaged girls (or boys), but it WAS a very, very different time, and it’s not like Jimmy Page (or Iggy or Johnny Thunders) was out “combing the high schools”, like described in KISS’ “Christine Sixteen”, lol, these girls were hanging out at Rodney’s English Disco because there were rock stars who partied there...

A) They were underage, in a club, was carding kids not a “thing” back then? Lol
B) Were they all...

B) Were they all street-waifs or orphans? Where were their parents?
