CHORUS:And solitaire's the only game in townand every road that takes him takes him downwhile life goes on around him everywherehe's playing solitaire
And keeping to himself he plays the gamewithout her love, it always ends the sameand by himself it's easy to pretendhe'll never love againA little hope goes up in smokejust how it goes, goes without sayingThere was a man, a lonely manwho would command the hand he's playing

It's been suggested that this track isn't necessarily simply about masturbation, but about Andy Partridge's penis in general. It's also been said that it's about his then infant son. It's entirely possible he meant it to be interpreted both ways (and this is a man who openly admitted to jerking off into a red rubber shark when on tour). A strange fellow, our Andy.

- When I stroke your head I feel a hundred heartbeats high- Any time you rise, I'm here- If I could only wake you from your slumber curled, pink thing what would straight folks say?- That man is a sinner / 'Fore they cast me down to die, pink thing, spit in my eye, I'd love you for it
Only time that thing'll spit in his eye is when it's not plugged into a lady.
I've not heard the shark anecdote before. Hmm. I'll never hear Ra Ra for Red Rubber Shark the same way again.

I also don't believe the turning japanes thing - why can't it just be about a guy collecting pictures of his love? turning japanes - becoming like the photo-taking stereotype of japanese people...
Alex OTM, and I think the same could be said about "Turning Japanese" - there are two interpretations (if there was only one, that wouldn't be any fun, would it?)
However, ones I'm not so sure about: Men At Work's "Overkill" and Manfred Mann's "Blinded By The Light"...

Sondre Lerche - "Single-Hand Affairs"
Brilliant premise; - he and his girl meet up for a date, hit it off well, but don't hook up; they leave separately and go to their respective homes, where they both wank whilst thinking about each other...
I just noticed his new album is called Solo Pleasure, but it's not about ~that~.

This thread reminds me of myself as a kid, explaining sotto voce, to the counselor who ran the camp radio station, what the song "She Bop" was about (back when this was still relatively fresh information).
― growing up in publix (morrisp), Friday, 21 September 2018 21:03 (five years ago) link
Toni Braxton’s “Another Sad Love Song”. Or it could really be about obsessive radio listening during car drives, like it says on the tin, in which case I’m terribly sorry (as is the insistent drum pattern).
