Sex for the Disabled

Before the accident you were just a square
 And I was a Hell's Angel in leathers and long hair
 Before the accident you were a fanatic
 And I was a motorbike mechanic
 And which of us was stronger then
 And which of us was stranger
 A woman pumping iron or a liberal Hell's Angel?
 Before the accident when my somersaulting Triumph
 Entered the gymnasium of the female Goliath
 And I don't know if you felt for me
 Or if you shared my dreams
 But when my speed machine hit your weight machine
 I know you heard my screams
 And across my leather jacket it says 'Sex for the disabled'
 And across your macho breasts 'Get fit for life'
 Before the accident you kept out of sight
 Working behind curtains till your body shape was right
 The only man you touched was your tutor in karate
 I (beep)ked every eligible party
 And which of us was crippled then
 And which of us more painful?
 A woman pumping iron or a liberal Hell's Angel?
 Before the accident when I careered akimbo
 Through your plate glass window
 And as I lay in agony from a thousand savage cuts
 You privatised the hospital and you wished me luck
 And across my leather jacket it says 'Sex for the disabled'
 And across your macho breasts 'Get fit for life'
 Before the accident, before '79
 Before the wheelchair that was such a different time
 Every man an anarchist, we were all into 'Zen
 And the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' then
 And which of us were hawks and which of us were doves?
 When you broke off peace talks and we broke off free love
 Before the accident when you came to power
 And the poor got on their bikes and we got off ours
 And the Age of Aquarius changed overnight
 To an Age of Economists serving the right
 Yeah, our Triumphs turned to wheelchairs, oh don't times change?
 And maybe we had nothing to lose but our chains
 So now you're the angels, the thugs in authority
 And we're just another castrated minority
 And across our leather jackets it says 'No sex for the disabled'
 And across your macho breasts 'Unfit for life'
