I prefer Captain Sensible's version

BTW the lyrics - vague violence against gays (bisexuals?), misogyny, glue sniffing and underage sex (with a 15-year-old) - are pretty fucked up. Did you run this submission past the "Broadsheet" gals? I'm quite sure they wouldn't approve:

Can you tell what’s on my mind

She’s with him it drives me wild

I’d like to hit him on the head until he’s dead

The sight of blood is such a high

Ooooohhhh, He gives me head

We made it on a ballroom blitz

I took his arm and kissed his lips

He looked at me with such a smile my face turned red

We booked a room into the ritz

Ooooohhhh, He gives me head

(Chorus)

Jet boy jet girl

I’m gonna take you ’round the world

Jet boy I’m gonna make them penetrate

I’m gonna make you be a girl

Ooooohhhh, Jet boy jet girl

I know I’m only just fifteen

I like to kick I like to scream

And even if I had a kick or two in bed

When I'm with him it’s just a dream

Ooooohhhh, He gives me head

(Chorus)

The other day what a suprise

I saw him with some other guys

Got he was dressed up with a girl around his neck

I could have cried with both my eyes

Ooooohhhh, He gives me head

And if and when I make it though

Or if my brain is stuck on glue

And when the world tries to forget all that, I said

I’ll still remember you

Ooooohhhh, You gave me head

(Chorus)

Also, Plastic Bertrand did a French Version of this song (which was, musically, exactly the same) called "Ca Plane Pour Moi" which, roughly translated means "This life’s for me". Don't even ask me what his lyrics mean (you can try deciphering them yourself: http://www.david.gibbs.co.uk/plastic/plastic_lyrics.htm if you're into that sort of pain)

Cheers!

Original article: Real talk with Bill Maher

Jesus Christ, "SR"!

His television show, "Real Time with Bill Maker" (which has been running on HBO for 3.5 years) starts a new "season" today. Its only mentioned about 3 times in the lead paragraphs and twice more in the interview. Its called reading comprehension - try it sometime before you ask stupid questions (twice)!
