Xiu Xiu, "No Friend Oh!"
(2008)

Young runaway
Upstanding man
The spring you seek is not for them
To stroke his cheek
And thus repair the error of his creator

You always complain no one's good
Well here you are let them see

Tommy and Dan
You can't hold hands
Down your street
Who cares you're gay
But it's your age
No friend oh

A wretched life to sit through
His sister cries "you'll go to hell"
You're unsure if he's legal
It's more

Tommy and dan
You can't hold hands
Down your street
Who cares you're gay
But it's your age
No friend oh

Tommy hits those apartments up
They cannot love anything
You hear a sign
Is this what you meant
When you wrote your sister

A chance you take
Is they deride your wicked heart
I'm by your side
They don't understand what you do
So what for nor do you

Tommy and Dan
You can't hold hands
Down your street
Who cares you're gay
But it's your age
No friend oh


Thanks, Destiny!

I have to choose the least creepy interpretation of this one to keep myself sane. For the record, I like queerics that deal with consensual relationships because rape and pedophilia have little to do with one's sexual orientation, so a lot of Xiu Xiu songs don't apply. I'll let this one slide, though. I don't know the intricacies of Tommy and Dan's relationship.
