Does anyone know what this song implies? The song is "Skin Deep" from the Aural Sculpture lp by the Stranglers. I am not sure if the video provides any clues either. I really like the song but it always left me wondering about it's meaning.
BTW, a friend back in college would substitute "Deep" with "Flute" and it was funny to hear him sing it, especially after a few beers.[:D]

Since beauty is only skin deep, I assumed it meant to beware of pretty women (or men) who are pretty on the outside only.

I will never forget this song; the video was on MTV when my then-girlfriend broke up with me.
No idea what it means. I'll take "Bring on the Nubiles" any day.
