    A song about safe sex by one of its "inventors." "...a shining, cathartic tune that manages to make light of a terrible situation, yet without diminishing its seriousness in the least...a fabulous pastiche of styles: jerky, new-wavish, synth-pop with hints of disco and fifties doo-wop. Or is it early sixties girl-group? It's hard to be sure exactly what Callen had in mind. Nor does it really matter. It all FITS...A fantastic piece of work that is amusingly serious and seriously amusing." --Wayne Studer in ROCK ON THE WILD SIDE: Gay Male Images in Popular Music of the Rock Era

    Lyrics
    HOW TO HAVE SEX

    by Michael Callen
    Tops and Bottoms Music (BMI)

    There across a crowded room
    Stood the man of my dreams
    He was a long and lean
    mean sex machine
    packed in tight 501 jeans
    Ooooh, he looked me over
    From my head down to my shoes
    Then he said ``Sorry, boy,
    but where you been?
    Ain't you heard the news?''

    He said ``Oh, no, I'm not crazy,
    I don't take no chance
    I don't kiss, I just reminisce
    And I keep it in my pants''

    Oh, I'm goin' crazy
    Will someone tell me
    what's a poor boy to do?
    They say I can't do this
    and I can't do that
    Oh, I'm soooo confused
    Can't it be like the fantasy?
    Can't it be like it used to be?
    Can't it be like the fantasy?

    How to have sex in an epidemic
    Without getting caught up in polemic

    Home alone, late at night
    Takin' matters into my own hands
    Lay back, relax, betamax
    playin' those
    ``Boys in the Sand''
    Achin', Shakin'
    Just a-lookin' for a little release
    When in burst the P.C.
    (Politically Correct)
    Safe Sex and Thought Police
    ``Stop right there!
    We've come to put you to the test
    You'd better call your lawyer, boy,
    you're under house arrest''

    REPEAT CHORUS

    Oh, I miss the '70's
    Things seemed so simple then
    So many men, so little time
    Ah, I remember when
    Where will it end my friends?
    Can you tell me? Who can say?
    When what is safe
    and what is not
    Changes day by day
    Got a lemon?
    Learn to make some lemonAID
    Use a rubber, find a lover
    in time you will discover
    It's OK to get laid

    REPEAT CHORUS

    How to have sex
    How to have sex
    How to have sex
