Lyric discussion by tomistdaffy 

an excelllent song ...... im seriously not seeing the gay thing! i dont think anyone here an the excellent isle would ever say "smoking a fag" in reference to some oral pleasures. i think it means what it says..... smoking a fag .... having a cigarette.... i get the impression its talking about a model or someone in a vogue-ish kind of pose but who knows

@tomistdaffy it is COMPLETELY a 'gay' thing. They've stressed it time again in interviews and such. It's a poke at modern society of which they were maestoes

@tomistdaffy as obviously witty as the band members of Wire were, perhaps the 'smoking a fag' part is meant to be a double entendre
