(There's Gonna Be) Sex Tonite

There at the protest about women's rights -
She slagged Helen Garner (1); he said, "You're right";
He shook his dreadlocks and condemned Wayne Carey (2);
She offered him tofu; both were quite hairy -

There's gonna be sex tonight.

Interval at the theatre - they both hit it off
Discussing the meaning of Anton Chekhov;
The director they hated, the actress? - they panned her;
What they acted out later weren't exactly Uncle Vania (3).

On the deck of the boat she pointed out east,
Said, "A whale is in fact an air breathing beast." (4)
He really liked nature; he was out of the slammer;
He had a gram of cocaine and a video camera.

He was knocking on doors; she was watchin' television;
He said, "Money for the kids? I'm collecting for World Vision."
Her heart was full of pity for a world that's full of grief:
He donated to a charity she called Hand Relief.

Helen Garner is an Australian feminist writer who caused a stir with the publication of her 1994 book 'The First Stone' in which she was critical of two Melbourne University students who took action against a college master for alleged sexual harassment. Many feminists questioned Garner's feminism as a result.
