I'm 16-year-old and I just discovered this band a month ago : I'm speechless. All I can say is that I was born in the wrong decade...

[MIAMI1967]

Only Fish could sing a love song to a prostitute, and make it work! BRILLIANT!

@MIAMI1967 no, also Fabrizio De André could. ;) but as he sings in Italian, anglophones don't know it.

@Rushrock They were totally 'B'sides themselves '

[Kohntarkosz]

I've always thought that's what Fish was on about. I've always understood about a married man who has what appears to be an ongoing affair with a prostitute, who is apparently in love with him. And he's asking her basically how does he compare in bed to to the her other clients.

[FernandezMustDie1988]

I really don't mean to be vulgar, but there's something I don't quite understand about the lyrics, can somone help?

Every time I hear the lines "was I alright? did you come tonight?" I wonder if he's speaking about his sexual prowess and giving her an orgasm... I mean, I'd find it a bit unfitting since it's so explicit, and didn't he imply they never got involved anyway? Or is it meant to be ambiguous? Can any native speaker clarify?
