It's on the Piece of Mind 1995 reissue. I'm not sure how to add the citation myself but any search for piece of mind will list the two bonus tracks, not to mention the Piece of Mind article here on wikipedia --ωοιғΝгаíѕíη 00:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

nevermind, I added the reference, I think it's the right way... but since a source is needed for that bit of information, why not one for the proposed meaning of the song?--ωοιғΝгаíѕíη 01:14, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


Hearing the line, "...and she'll do it for a song," my first impression was of a prostitute, partial thanks to the song's name. Does anyone have any sources contrary to this? I'm apparently not alone in my interpretations, as CupOfWonder.com lists the same, and includes a quotation from Ian regarding it.

[edit] A rich girl?

I just don't see how the article written about this song is even remotely close to the real meaning. It's about a schoolgirl prostitute, not some rich girl giving money to the poor. Can someone with some solid references make the appropriate changes? Scoholl (talk) 13:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
