Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Slit Skirts (page 1/1) ------ performed by Pete Townshend Question about Slit Skirts | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/30/2008 Love this song - but does anyone have thought on verse "And girls who lost their children cursed the men who fit the coil And men not fit for marriage took their refuge in the oil"? I'd love to know the meaning Thx. Classic | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/24/2008 If anyone has ever been through a breakup of a long relationship and the awkward period afterwards, you can relate to this song. Some really visual references in the song. Running into your ex and avoiding "catching each other's eyes". Fearing relationships: "No one respects the flame quite like the fool who's badly burned". Growing old alone: "Can't pretend that growing older never hurts." The song goes on to show the main character (Pete?) in a go-nowhere relationship with a woman who is constantly comparing him to her former lover... never as good... always disappointing: "A silent voice in her broken heart complaining that I'm unskilled." I always liked this song but it took on a whole new meaning when I was in a similar position, maybe 7 years ago. Now it is one of my all-time favorite songs. It really captures the pain and fear from a time when we are most vulnerable. Add Your New Review About The Song
