A new one, which manages to be about the only song partly about jerking off that could actually make you cry:

Robyn Hitchcock - Television

A really brutal little ballad, stripped of all the so-called artifice that Feg has been accused of (which he never really was guilty of anyway). About my favorite song of the year so far, actually.

I've never thought "Blister In The Sun" was about masturbation. I'll have to listen to it again.

Okay, so I'm not so sure it's about masturbation... ya got me!
It was a High School rumor that I somehow still managed to hold onto.
I think it's the line:
Big hands I know you're the one

That threw me/clued me.

whatever.

"...I stain my sheets I don't even know why
my girlfriend she's at the end she is starting to cry..."
