Great song. Heard it years ago, find it on the 'Tube and still like it.
As far as the meaning of the song and video clip...
Take a leaf out of a certain book - F#@K the world. Do whatever it is that feels right to you. Do not lock one self into what mainstream society tells you.
Society only wants you to dumb oneself down and follow orders till you die!
If a side effect of following one's own path means that one likes stuff sexually that is not mainstream... Then so be it.
What is wrong with you navel gazing types, why must you look in to the meaning of everything? Who gives a flying fu(k what this song is about, it rocks, lighten up and enjoy it for it's entertainment value
Allot of people think its just about being an effeminate bisexual who sleeps around, its not its about an androgynistic bisexual who prostitutes himself out for drug money, its a very brave song because you lose allot of fans by coming out especially so openly, I love this song its not only saying that you can be beautiful as you are but its also telling it like it is not just how it should be 'eyeholes in a paper bag' how hes ashamed to face his partner, its sad
@moltonissexy who gives a fuk,sexy is sexy n he is, always tot i was hetro,bt thn red n studied n my mind opend, he isnt tryi 2 b anyhn in bar him, n he is hot, id kiss the dude, fine is fine, some dudes get bent n twisted about that shit but bet they couldnt tell the difference between lady-ladyboty n ladyboy - FHM did a cheeky wee expose, some of my mates were disgusted wit themselves when they go t the resultd but just proved, sex is sex, what yo find hot is hot, yeah?
Funny, it seems that in this type of rock culture, the lifestyle described in this song is widespread and the artists in that lifestyle are fine with it and enjoy it. Yet, there still seems to be a element of underlying guilt in it since rather than glorifying it in the song, everything is distorted and creepy. For example, the people in the video are not shown enjoying themeselves, but are in torturous positions with distorted smiles plastered on their faces.
i always thought it was a crossdressing drug addicted manwhore who the speaker in the song becomes friends with and see that hes actually a really good person but she/he cant go out with them becuz hes a whore and the speaker is above that.theres also elements of being a whore to get back to ur parents like the line "and it all breaks down, the role reversal".brian molko talks about that a lot.like the song to say goodbye video is complete role reversal: a son saving his father from addiction
This song is about the songwriter's lifestyle. He's an alcoholic drug-addict, who sleeps with alot of random people out of preference. He perhaps isn't 100% lucid, but likes it that way. He meets someone (probably another guy) who he recognizes to be a genuinely nice person, but he just wants to take this person to bed. He does. The end.
i think thats why i love this video so much because im a huge fan of muse theyre like my favourite band ever and placebo have recentloy also become one of my favs too =D
Alcoholic kind of mood lose my clothes, lose my lube cruising for a piece of fun looking out for number one different partner every night so narcotic outta sight what a gas, what a beautiful ass. And it all breaks down at the role reversal, got the muse in my head she's universal, spinnin' me round she's coming over me, me. And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal, got the muse in my head she's universal, spinnin' me round she's coming over me, me
This vid is so weird it's creepy, but so creepy it's fucking fantastic!! Love this song. *sings* comes across all shy and coy, just another nancy boy... xD
thigh hose in a paper bag.. not eyeholes.. :PP

You can keep your 'drum and bass', this song shows what 'drums and bass' can sound like when used as intended.

Here's a bit of trivia about this video,
The drummer didn't his family to know he did this, so they bleeped his face out the whole or most of the video :)
