Toast 16,314 Posted Monday at 13:47 23 minutes ago, TQR said: Yeah, it's more like "Fuck off mum, if I wanna go out and get some cock I will". Think that lyric was left on the album version, though.. Quote To be fair, I think it's less modern puritanism and more retrospective "Actually, that was a bit creepy" People these days seem to be 1. In denial of basic human nature - that sexually mature teenagers will indulge in sexual acts regardless of any rules set by The Man. and/or 2. Taking everything literally, hence the labelling of songs as "creepy" because they include terms of endearment like "little girl". (Strange how "baby" gets a free pass.) In any case, music with lyrics is an art form, and art depicts all forms of human behaviour, whether or not it is legal, moral, or desirable. That's OK with me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although there were only the two girls On the subject of films, have you seen An Education, - Carey Mulligan & Peter Sarsgaard; it's set in the 60s, she's a 16 year-old schoolgirl, he's a man in his 30s; the parents of Carey Mulligan's character spend a good part of the film trying to marry her off to him, which probably wasn't that unusual for the time.

My father was 13 years older than my mother, and I don't consider it noteworthy. Now you mention it, my mum did try to interest me in the brother of a friend of hers but I was never into older men. I really don't have an issue with age gaps unless they're extreme. When they are, there's often a gold digger in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have this song on CD though and that particular line (which is what I based my original comment on) sounds very much like 'if you feel like running wild' rather than 'I' on my version...
