I am just a new boy
A stranger in this town
Where are all the good times
Who's gonna show this stranger around?
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl
Will some cold woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man
Take this rock and roll refugee
Oooh Babe set me free
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.
Hello?
Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mr. Floyd.
Will you accept the charges from United States?
Oh, He hung up! That's your residence, right?
I wonder why he hung up?
Is there supposed to be someone else there besides your wife there to answer?
Hello?
This is United States calling, are we reaching...
See, he keeps hanging up, and it's a man answering.
About This Song
"Young Lust" is a raw, sexually charged rock song that explores themes of isolation, desperation, and the search for human connection through physical desire. The lyrics depict Pink, the protagonist of *The Wall*, as a lonely "stranger" seeking escape from his emotional numbness through casual sexual encounters, reflecting his inability to form genuine intimate relationships. Musically, the track features a driving, blues-influenced rock sound with a prominent bass line and aggressive guitar work that mirrors the protagonist's urgent, almost predatory pursuit of physical gratification. The song represents a crucial moment in *The Wall*'s narrative where Pink's psychological barriers lead him to seek hollow substitutes for real love and connection. Its unflinching portrayal of sexual desperation and emotional emptiness makes it one of the album's most visceral and uncomfortable tracks, highlighting how isolation can corrupt even basic human needs.
