Billy Bragg - Sexuality (Official Video)

Bragg’s lead single off of his 1991 pop success ‘Don’t Try This At Home’, came at a time where sex-positive and anti-homophobic music was scarce. With a video that is just as fun, fearless and freeing as the words - it is one of Bragg’s biggest and most loved singles.

Lyrics:
I've had relations with girls from many nations
I've made passes at women of all classes
And just because you're gay I won't turn you away
If you stick around I'm sure that we can find some common ground
Sexuality
Strong and warm and wild and free
Sexuality
Your laws do not apply to me
A nuclear submarine sinks off the coast of Sweden
Headlines give me headaches when I read them
I had an uncle who once played for Red Star Belgrade
He said some things are really best left unspoken
But I prefer it all to be out in the open
Sexuality
Strong and warm and wild and free
Sexuality
Your laws do not apply to me
Sexuality
Don't threaten me with misery
Sexuality
I demand equality
I'm sure that everybody knows how much my body hates me
It lets me down most every time and makes me rash and hasty
I feel a total jerk before your naked body of work
I'm getting weighed down with all this information
Safe sex doesn't mean no sex it just means use your imagination
Stop playing with yourselves in hard currency hotels
I look like Robert De Niro, I drive a Mitsubishi Zero
Sexuality
Strong and warm and wild and free
Sexuality
Your laws do not apply to me
Sexuality
Come eat and drink and sleep with me
Sexuality
We can be what we want to be

Love this song so much - the updated version with trans and NB inclusive stuff he does at live gigs is also incredible

[@medes5597]

Kirsty singing with Billy, Johnny Marr playing guitar (though sadly not in the video) and a video directed by Phil Jupitus. Brilliant. Always loved this one.

[@alanflint7732]

This treats the subject with the humour that is missing in 2024. People seem far too serious and sensitive these days.

[@montaguewithnail5891]

"I look like Robert Di Niro, I drive a mitsubishi zero". Dylan nor Cohen could aspire to that. Genius. Possibly my favourite lyric of all time.

[@Hardrada00]

Time to mention that Phill Jupitus who performed in the video also directed it.

We are all the human race.

The part where he says laws dont apply to him... search his computer.

[@bobbythebest588yeah3]

Brilliant to see Kirsty at her best. A true legend gone too soon.

[@clivesnowden4348]

My favourite Billy Bragg video. Everyone's fantastic here - especially Kirsty. Fabulous song. Still relevant.

[@jessecool2980]

This is the guy in the car Morrissey warned us about

[@gwz]

A fun sex positive video which included homosexuality during the AIDS scare was a rare thing indeed.

[@TheBigAyland]

This song helped me with my Bisexuality. Thank you Billy. I learned to accept and embrace my love of other Men. I prefer it all it all to be out in the open. May all those struggling with their sexuality find this song.

[@geetee4459]

Billy's most joyful video. Upbeat, Kirsty, the feels, the fun. But still the meanings. Meanings which still apply nearly 40 years later.

Kirsty 'commenting' on his size at

[@rmc4091]

I had uncle who once played for red star Belgrade brilliant line

[@josemaria8177]

Billy Bragg as always been on the right side of history while making amazing songs to boot

[@guycha0s380]

When you are happy you enjoy the music, when you are sad you understand the lyrics.

[@frangarcia7774]

Great song and great video. So fun. So funny. Kirsty is fantastic. We miss her. Wish Johnny Marr could have made it into the video.

[@bobbythebest588yeah3]

This is one of the best songs ever written.

[@billybonkers244]

I still can’t believe I actually saw him live yesterday! I was named after billy brag and it was surreal to actually see him!
