Listen to Intensive Care! III


Quoted from: http://www.whatsyourfuture.com/

'Your Gay Friend

Starting with a jubilant "whoo hoo", 'Your Gay Friend' is Intensive Care's most frivolous moment, and also its most mischievous. I'll be your gay friend/ Cos your marriage never ends/ so we fuck and fight again,' he sings. Its author declines to say who the song's sunject is about - 'the less said about that the better'. Its Lucozade spritz is as infectious as its lyrical content is potentially contentious.

Sin Sin Sin

One of the first efforts Robbie wrote with his new songwriting partner Stephen Duffy, 'Sin Sin Sin', with its metronomic beat, is an engagingly hypnotic song about a dirty old man who craves a shag. 'Basically,' Robbie grins, 'it's about the kind of bloke I will turn into myself one day.' Despite its sly content, this features his most mannered vocal to date, reminiscent of Pet Shop Boy's Neil Tennant, but with an even finer annunciation. His mother would be proud; Stephen Duffy already is. 'As soon as we'd completed this track,' Duffy says, 'I thought we might just have a future together.'
