    Oh, mama, I'm just having fun
    On the stage in my heels
    It's where I belong, down at the
    Pink Pony Club
    I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club
    I'm gonna keep on dancing down in West Hollywood
    I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club
    Pink Pony Club"
    It sounds like a decent broken dreams tune to me

      After doing some research there may be a bit more to this song, and the mention of West Hollywood in the lyrics seems to be key to this deeper meaning.

          West hollywood is just the posh bit where all the mansions etc are - hollywood itself is a bit of a shithole

            Good line up. I was at the Stonehenge free Festival for two weeks that year, so didn't go. So glad I went, as it was the last one

              Yeah I saw the green man lineup the other day, I’m not sure I’d even heard of one of them….
              Last visit to Glastonbury was 20 years ago, I knew after that 5th visit I wouldn’t be back again. It was a struggle the first few times to catch everyone I wanted to see in different places, I wouldn’t go now if it was free…..

              A day to never forget in 2003

                West Hollywood is the place where outsiders went to be left alone, hence the song reference. I'm sure that was Hunter S. Thompson's hangout too.

                  i think you're possibly reading a bit too much into it there - it's about a gay bar in west holywood.

                    Not really, West Hollywood has a long history and it's an apt metaphor.

                      Nowadays, musically is there anything mainstream to encourage you to get angry about?
                      I know it sounds a bit foil hat but I often wonder if the government employed Simon Cowell to sanitise mainstream music to stop the masses rising.

                      Pink Pony Club"

                      Lyrics of the No.1 45 years ago (Yes, 1980!!):

                      "Something's happening here today
                      A show of strength with your boy's brigade
                      And I'm so happy and you're so kind
                      You want more money, of course I don't mind
                      To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes
                      And the public gets what the public wants
                      But I want nothing this society's got"
                      how times have changed eh

                      what a word smith Weller is / was up there with Morrissey that's for sure
