He always substituted "launder my clothes" for "powder my nose" on TV. Does anyone know if this was required by censors?

[henkin]

Excuse me one moment whilst I...launder my clothes.

Buahahahahahaha!

[fupedworld]

Clearly about a coke habit, all the rage in the 1980's.

[Holygasoline]

Looks a bit like a young Jimmy carr on this dont you think ? great song love it !

[saddlers67]

Great track, lovely voice.

[DaveWBedford]

Lloyd is remarkably open about his bi ender tendencies. He penned this song for catharsis after being discovered as a handbag collector by a band member and addressed the problem head on with this song, about alcogolism and fetishes.

Lloyd is married to a girl from Buffalo, 5 min from here. Also: "Walking my bag through a 20 story non stop snow storm" is clearly about sharing coke with his pals in a NYC high rise. Not handbags. Come on.

I need a fire escape..open window..whats your bag??? timeless....

@blondie1159 Well if we're quoting lyrics Blondie...

Lord have mercy, I know what I'm doing

I don't need an alibi, I need a fire escape, open window

It's my problem, nothing I can't deal with

I'm not chasing anything, just jogging baby, what's your bag?

Shame on the UK for only getting this fab song to 46 in the charts, despite exposure on national TV.
