Orange Juice: Flesh Of My Flesh (1983)

Obviously, there is a strong biblical and, possibly, misogynistic reference in this track:

"And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." (Genesis 2:23 - I had to look that up, as I am not a biblical scholar and I think religion is one of the worst human inventions).

The meaning is less clear in this Orange Juice track. From Discogs:

"Some copies of the 12" release included a 10" x 10" card photo of a band member. Different prints existed for all four band members - see images. There was only one print inserted per copy and it was assigned at random."

Alas, my copy lacks the print.
