The Cure: Fascination Street Meaning

Song Released: 1989
Fascination Street Lyrics
Down on fascination street
So let’s cut the conversation
And get out for a bit
Because I feel it all fading and paling
And I’m begging to drag you down with me
To kick the last nail in
Yeah I like you in that like I...

The song is about a wild night on bourbon street in New Orleans, drinking too much & up chucking. Truth be told.

Yes, blowjobs. But the lyrics that have me a little mystified is..."If you slip going under sailing over my shoulder" . It must have been a wild mardi gras blowjob!
