Pour Some Sugar on Me Lyrics

Step inside, walk this way
You and me babe, hey! Hey!

Love is like a bomb baby c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp like a video vamp
Demolition woman can I be your man
Razzle 'n' dazzle 'n' flash a...

    The song is about sex but the backdrop appears to be about those video booths where the girl worked live behind a mirror and privately entertained guys that put money into the slots - these were fairly common in porn shops during the early 1980's. I know this all too well - used to "perform" at one when I was in college - we were sometimes referred to as "mirror mannequins" by the patrons. Why's that? You entered a private booth, the screen started off as a "mirror" until you put in your money. Some of the screens used a stoplight sequence when getting ready to start: "Red light, yellow light, green-a-light go! Crazy little woman in a one man show. Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love..." The guys would masturbate while we stripped, teased, touched ourselves & danced. If you failed to keep putting in money - the arcade operator would knock on your door to leave the booth: "You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little, tease a little more. Easy operator come a knockin' on my door".

    I'm sure they used a bunch of filler lyrics to make it flow and rhyme - but this song has way too many metaphors to these old 1-on-1 peep shows to not be based upon it!

    Same as the top rated but break the bubble in British slang refers to deflowering a virgin. I don’t see why the site wants 100 characters for comments.

    When I was 10yrs or so, We had to make a model for school representing a song. I made one of a “volcano type” with sugar coming out of it, flowing down onto like an action figure or something. I recall my female teacher being les impressed than with others when I told her what the song was and wondering why

    OK.
    The lyric is a over though.
    But I assumed with what the writers have said is finding that vocabulary meets feel style of Bowie, was tidbits of tributes to bubble gum music.
    How odd we hear what we do in a lyric.
