Look:
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.

Get over it. Their songs weren't any less sincere when he was doing the same thing 20 years ago. Neil often sings as a character (see Rent).

I guess I misinterpreted it, it makes sense the way you explained it. Thanks!

Saw Neil Tennant eating a pork pie last night.

This 'pork pie' wasn't wearing a leotard at the time, was it?

It reminds me of that pic of Neil with a cooked pork in front of him and some men around him.

I think he's reffering to a picture from the fundamental tour, in a spanish restaurant.
