Peter Gabriel. Sledgehammer”

Sledgehammer” is unabashedly about sex—big dippers, fruit cages.

Not to derail the thread but on a related topic, brings us to John Fogarty - possibly the worst enunciation of any vocalist ever.

I thought one line sounded like "wrapped up like a douche"

[Intro]
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

[Verse 1]
Madman, drummers, bummers
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
As the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin'
The calliope crashed to the ground
