If you were to take the phrase "a girl in the streets at night" out of the song, and ask a random selection of people over a certain age what the implication is, five'll get you ten that most would say, in so many words, 'prostitution'. This has been a conceit as long as there have been cities. I can't believe that someone with the poetic sense of EM would not have been conscious of what he was suggesting. |
