I obviously never listened to his lyrics closely enough even 
though the wife-beating 'sub-plot' was right there. 

I guess I was guilty of dismissing the song as just another one of 
Alice's long line of exploitation/shock rock with its blood 
reference---a reference that might cause Grammar-school 
boys to snigger and titter together (with a mixture of embarrassment)
about a female bodily process that is not uncommon for male juveniles 
to incorrectly typify as 'gross'.
