this song really does draw a ton from the 70's porn film 'the devil in miss jones'. i know no one here has really addressed that (except for one other poster) but it's the case. watch the video--it's basically the star of the film, now an old woman, talking about her experiences making it. before anyone worries about her doing things she didn't want to do, georgina spelvin was pretty groundbreaking in that she was one of the women who went into porn because they loved sex and thought they were introducing a sort of revolutionary way of making film.
i love her in the video--seeing her reminisce, she really does have this sort of dreamy flame in her eyes.
the fly being discussed in the song is present in the film also--he's an insane man who thinks that he's a fly and sadly won't respond to georgina's advances anymore, which is what signals to her that she's truly (finally) gone to hell.
scribe gets right to the essence of the song when they say "You are trapped in a cycle of pleasure/pain. The other is trapped in a cycle of pleasure/unease. Your love will never be realized." that's pretty much the film too.
