hong kong glue - any ideas?

[papa]

"...She wants clean sheets, and fresh flowers,
and dental shots, and the hong kong glue"

its from the "Annie-Dog" song in the Adore album. Any idea as to what hong kong glue is?

[Dawn2Dusk]

a glue from hong kong?

[Galapogos]

maybe to get high
well if you look at the other lyrics before it
"she wants clean sheet sheets
and fresh flowers
her dental shots and the hong kong glue"

i think it's just she wants an ordinary life

Agree, this is how i read it as well, which is why "hong kong glue" sounds so odd. Not to say all pumpkin lyrics always made perfect sense...

I think they might be talking about a drug or something. She wants to be happy, and she's trying to escape all that throuhg "hong kong glue"...Maybe opium or something.


Then agian, I have no clue what the rest of the song is about, so, yeah.

The song is about a woman who uses sex to gain power over others. That's a paraphrase from Billy himself. I don't have a link or anything, so don't ask for one. Just trust me on it.
