Well, this song is brand new, but the band, the Scissor Sisters are right out of my New York City club days, when Linna Mink and I never used to miss a Scissor Sisters show. That was before they were famous. They were fun people. (I'm sure they're still fun now, of course.) We used to always catch the Toilet Boys whenever they played also. I used to know Jayne County and Kevin Aviance... but they only knew me as "Oh yeah. How are you?"
All those places... all those people. I can barely remember a single name, but all the faces are still fresh in my memory. I never even really learned the name of the bars and clubs we frequented. "On 3rd Street between Avenue A and B... it's the black door on the South side with the music playing behind it." Or "that place on Washington and 14th." Just enough to get the cab there.
I don't know what has happened to Linna, or — for that matter — anybody else from those days. They all disappeared... just like I did, actually.
