It could be an actual extreme truth of male sexual feelings when young, and opposed to a female, (my such a sweet thing, want to do everything, over and over Crimson & Clover - his possible immediate lust & her possible innocence and sweet, not wanting to jump right in, usually & especially back then a sweet innocent girl would likely want a relationship first, long-term, back then probably even marriage first. In complete truth and possibly not even any wrong feelings, they say a guy thinks about sex, every 7 seconds, probably less, however, still a lot of times & the stats are way more than women, so this could simply be a very honest account of a guys feelings. The part that goes in another direction & who knows if it’s the year we live in, maybe not (things happened back then that weren’t discussed, allowed to get away with), yes I am bringing up the possibility of a sexual predator, while they might not have been considered that in those days, everything was hush hush, either way it’s a little scary when you listen to the lyrics and you realize, he could be out looking for girls, what he wants to do, over and over “Crimson”, bad and “Clover”, the innocent possible victim of the night. As much as I would not want this song to be about that, & while it most likely isn’t, you could also totally see a sexual predator thinking exactly that way, maybe even more so back then...food for thought???
