"I came out of the bathroom
Looking for my ticket
It's hard to be
Hard to be human again"
"He took me in a corner
And I don't know why
I was looking for a friend
He shaved me dry"
These lyrics suggest a social comedy set in a gay bath house. Not in 1970s San Fran, though... definitely in 1980s Sheffield, with all the political and social context which this implies (see also 'Ghosts of American Astronauts' for a 1970s American mythos overlaid onto a northern British landscape).
"I saw a man hold a chicken to his head"
Clear echo of Spitting Images' 'The Chicken Song', and hence some oblique, self-referential and ultimately sympathetic comment about the absurdity of proletarian leisure.
