Yeah, the lyrics are awkward, you can tell Strummer's not comfortable writing about sexuality. I can't think of another example he did beyond maybe Rabies From the Dogs of Love?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

The Damned has a few of those songs. Dead Boys are really good at singing about fucked up kinky sex.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Does Janie Jones count? It’s about a prostitute.

I don't think so. It's a song about mentally escaping the mundane world.

Re: Is Lovers Rock about Semen Retention?
Strummer sussed how to sing about sensuality at the end. Mondo Bongo doesn't get into carnality in the lyrics, which have his usual playfulness around the taste of language*, but the music and delivery make it his only successful reach into the topic.

The thought of Jello Biafra having sex is even more disconcerting than the thought of Joe having sex.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑21 Apr 2021, 12:31pmDoes "Too Drunk to Fuck" count?Silent Majority wrote: ↑21 Apr 2021, 12:03pmThe Buzzcocks are a great male first wave punk group that can sing about sex.

Hello,
Am I so old I'm the only one who thought of this?
Elvis covered it - probably a few more I don't know/can't remember.

Re: Is Lovers Rock about Semen Retention?
for a second i was like "wait, elvis presley covered love comes in spurts?"
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Hello,
Elvis C. It's pretty funny imagining Elvis P. singing "Love comes in spurts, baby!".
