this song is describing a callgirl (or callgirls).
the MJ reference is totally off.... - NEVERLAND in this case refers to a place of illusions. (btw. te original Neverland is in Peter Pan ;-))
I think from these song of girls wich are brought to western europe with promises of wealth and good life and finally enslaved there: it must seem like Neverland to them in terms of something that can never be.
I find the song really strong as it really very accurately transports what these women feel.
"He's pointing with the fingers that are left on his hand" - i think this picture is a metaphore for the environment these women are in - a criminal one. probably the "man without fingers" is the man who is enslaving these ladies.
"the monkey" term refers porobably to the men who are paying these women for their services, and how the women refer to them as "monkeys" wich is strong as it expresses how unpersonal these relationships are.
"Feed the hand that bites me" is probably referring to the act of love - giving "love" (for money) to a man who abuses her.
"Showing us love that none of us can" - describing how cold everything gets, how far away these women from love are.
I agree that the Neverland reference is clearly a reference to Peter Pan, and not to Michael Jackson.

One could also interpret the parts about missing fingers and "feed the hand that bites me" as metaphorical references to Captain Hook, who had his hand chopped off and fed to a crocodile by Peter.

And the 'fingers left on his hand' would refer to the typical Russian gangster client she is 'entertaining' that evening. A few of them really are missing fingers..

And I'm sure the love is as cold as you describe it.

@ex77 I agree with a lot of this. I think the monkey refers to the "monkey on the back"... But I don't have any proof that it is that.

@ex77 - The 'monkey' she has been promised all night during lady drinks refers to the 500 GBP the client would have agreed to.

A 'monkey' is 500 quid, as we say.
