I am just a new boy,
Stranger in this town.
Where are all the good times?
Who's gonna show this stranger around?
Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.

Will some woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man?
Take this rock and roll refugee
Oooh, baby set me free.

Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.

Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.

"Hello..?"
"Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mr. Floyd.
Will you accept the charges from United States?"

"Oh, He hung up! That's your residence, right? I wonder why he hung up?
Is there supposed to be someone else there besides your wife there to answer?"

"Hello?"
"This is United States calling, are we reaching...
"See he keeps hanging up, and it's a man answering."

    General Comment:This song isn't simply Pink heading to a new town and indulging in sex with some random groupie. The album tells a story, and at this point Pink is trying to fill in the "empty space" left behind from his wife leaving him(note the phone call where his wife is with another man) This technique proves ineffective as shown in the next song "One of my turns"

    General Comment:This is just how I would guess the storyline...In the beginning of "Empty Spaces", you can here the PA of an airport, which I think means that Pink has arrived in a new city and state by plane. Young lust is about how he is the new guy and he just wants a little action. He probably got a groupie, hooker, or maby just got drunk with a girl and they both had a one-night stand together.

    General Comment:This song is about Pink looking for some kind of human contact

    I heard this song was written and recorded in one night to replace one or just add to the Wall. Anyone know if thats true?

    General Comment:oops, pardon me i was just looking at the first page and basically just replying to h mozart, who sounds too ignorant to understand that even though the lyrics are simple and pointless sounding, still mean a LOT to the story. and sorry carrden but i can think of many fulfilling things besides jesus... like bmx... most likely because im not religious

    General Comment:ok, some of you guys are starting to be ridiculous with this. this song is meant to fit in with the other songs in the album first of all, thats why it sounds really rock and roll compared to other songs on the album. the main charachter in the story has just left living with his over protective mother and is completely "spoiling" himself with basically sex, drugs, and rock and roll. the song was meant to sound kinda like rock songs of the era to emphasise the time in his life. not my favorite song but i had to set some things straight. for everyone who hasnt seen the movie, just do it. youll hopefully understand things better. pink floyd is amazing and it really hurts to hear some people say "What a great song about being an little shit on tour through the big mean world...rocknroll refugee?? tsk...
    Waters was such a moron, his lyrics suck so hard on selfpity and if people stopped confusing complicated music technique with a good song, none'd confuse Pink Floyd shit with art. Man, I can't believe people are discussing about lyrics that mean so little and nothing good or interesting!" because they dont understand
