If we concur with the principal that those who talk about it most are in fact getting it the least, then Peaches must have last had sex fifteen years ago. In the missionary position. For 45 seconds. “I wanna take you Downtown, show you my thing,” she sweetly sings over the electronica-lite backing, before rather more breathily insisting, “Go down, go down, go down.” Let’s just say we don’t think she’s not inviting us out on a day-trip. Rather more musically arresting and amusing is B-Side 'Hanky Code', which (aptly) sounds like a track off Prince’s Dirty Mind, and sees Peaches dispense with any pretence of metaphor. “Better know your hankie code before you go shoot your load,” she counsels. Sage advice indeed, as Gigwise knows only too well, having once popped into Paco’s Bar for a relaxing Coca-cola without realising we’d clumsily left our embroidered handkerchief hanging out of our sleeve. We’re still unable to talk about what happened next, but can safely say Peaches would have approved.
