    Without a doubt one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard. Deserved much more recognition than it received.

    Do do do, do do do
    Do do do, do do do
    When boys are just eleven
    They begin to grow in height at a fast rate than they have done before
    They develop curiosity and start to fantasise
    About the things they have never thought of doing before
    These dreams are no more harmful than
    The usual thoughts that boys have of becoming football stars or millionaires
    As long as the distinction between fantasy and fiction remains
    It's just a nature walk
    It's just the facts of life
    There's no master plan
    Walk me home from school
    I'll let you hold my hand
    You're getting ideas
    And when you sleep at night
    They develop into sweet dreams
    It's just the facts of life
    A boy sits by the telephone, wanting to call a girl
    But not daring to because she might say no
    At last he summons up the courage phones
    And discovers someone else has asked her first and she's said yes
    Now's time to deal with the fear of being rejected
    No-one gets through life without being hurt
    At this point the boy who's listening to this song
    Is probably saying it's easier said than done and it's true
    It's just the facts of life
    There's no master plan
    Walk me home from school
    I'll let you hold my hand
    You're getting ideas
    And when you sleep at night

    It's just the facts of life

    Do do do, do do do
    Small-town dating differs from more urban situations
    In particular if there's few places to go
    Adolescents normally gather in a cafe or an arcade
    If they have to almost anywhere will do
    A family car, a disused coalmine
    A rowing boat or a shed
    Experimentation, familiarisation
    It's all a nature walk
    It's just the facts of life
    There's no master plan
    Walk me home from school
    I'll let you hold my hand

    I grew up the only gay kid in a clean german suburb. With every year passing, I feel more and more distant from this place. The hockey club, all the kids riding mountainbikes with their girlfriends and boyfriends, the lawn mowers and SUVs. I'm just sitting behind the window of my mum's flat and wondering how life can seem so easy, even tho it isn't. This song hits hard.

      ignorant asshat. it's about that awkward phase both boys and girls go through in early puberty, trying impress each other and the fantasy of love and rejection. the theme is clearly 50/50 and doesn't have anything directly to do about "male sexuality".
