And music helped. This is Ultravox from 1977. You can hear it on Youtube:

My sex Waits for me Like a mongrel waits Downwind on a tight rope leash
My sex Is a fragile acrobat Sometimes I'm a novocaine shot Sometimes I'm an automat
My sex Is often solo Sometimes it short circuits then Sometimes it's a golden glow
My sex Is invested in Suburban photographs Skyscraper shadows on a carcrash overpass
My sex Is savage, tender It wears no future faces Owns just random gender
My sex Has a wanting wardrobe I still explore Of all the bodies I knew and those I want to know
My sex Is a spark of electro flesh Leased from the tick of time And geared for synchromesh
My sex Is an image lost in faded films A neon outline On a high-rise overspill
My sex
