Hunh? I thought it was from a television song? friction? or is that a cover I don't know of?

I slightly screwed it up. The line is:

the girls won't touch me 'cause I got a misdirection
and living at night ain't helping my complexion

it's from the song "Final Solution" by Pere Ubu, which was released in 1976. I don't see that line in "Friction"...

Ooops. My mistake -- Peter Murphy does a cover of the Pere Ubu song. Bad me.

Which gives us the image of young Pete being thrown out of the house because his pants don't fit.
