I haven't heard that, either, but this 
(http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/p.htm) suggests it's not out of the 
question.  I mentioned the opening line that says the 'you' in the song 
needs 'a little more man, a little more seed'.  I guess that sets the tone 
for me and makes the entire song sound like it's sung to a woman.

A lot of it is so specific, it's got to be about an individual.  Take the 
lead in to the pink line.  'You said you'd go as far as turn to my 
friend/who once warned me of you said you'd hasten my end/who chose you over 
me because I have lent/every ounce of my juice my essence is spent'  Or 
maybe, 'you' is us?
