First heard this song in 1993, three years after it's release. It was on a compilation of tunes called No Alternative, which was produced by an organisation that supported equal access to healthcare - and especially involved in with AIDS relief at that time. All of the tunes on the album had some element associated with the reality of living with a serious or terminal disease and the social prejudice that followed. So while it may have meant one thing at its time of writting, it was later offered as relevent for another reason. Most likely the desperation in Kim's singing, being literally isolated and stuck and going through hell.
