Q: Any homo references?
Popjustice: Yes (see "it's tough getting on in the world when the sun doesn't shine and a boy needs a girl" line).
If you see in what context they say "a boy needs a girl", you'll see is just the opposite. It's like Neil was saying "in general, boys prefer girls than boys, what a pity!".
And then, what's wrong in saying "this is a song about boys and girls"?. I think is a good idea to start a song in this way. PSB usually talk about homosexual and bisexual boys in their songs, it's not a secret. Now this song is FOR EVERYONE (I think is a good thing).
Maybe it's because I'm straight but I don't see they are trying to say "We are going to lie and say we are straight to sell more copies". Maybe they think this album doesn't need so many homo-references because they want to be more commercial but it's not something bad, I think.
