849.0. "Strange lyric time" by SHAPES::WILLIAMSJ1 (Don't blame me.......) Fri Jun 07 1991 15:11

    I've spent quite a few happy hours puzzling over this one, maybe
    some good person could enlighten me and the rest of the world.
    
    What EXACTLY does
    
    "I want to sex you up" mean?
    
    And indeed, it leads me to another from the same song,
    
    "I want to love you down"
    
    Have I missed something?  Or is it a case of create a tuneless song
    with rambling lyrics that mean sod all, and get loads of dosh at 
    number 1?

    IMHO I think it means he/she wants to have a pleasurable time (sexually
    natch) with da other person. This is only a hypothesis of course.

    The only time I'd ever heard this expression before was when someone
    was talking about...
    
    
    
    Parrot breeding! Apparently, they need a small operation to determine
    gender at birth (well the Parrots can probably tell, but not the
    breeders!).

    It's evidently a poor translation from Simple Minds' Alive and
    Kicking...
    
    "what are you gonna do when the flames go up?
     what are you gonna do when your love burns down?"
    
    Evidently.
