I don't remember this being discussed already, nor do I remember were I got this scan from (I've been collecting photos and articles for more than 20 years now), BUT there's an interesting bit in this "exclusive track by track preview of Rid Of Me" from the Melody Maker: the mention of a song called "Blood", described as another twisted erotic nightmare of a song."I love it, I'll kill it", she sings.
WHAAAAT? Is that just a mistake?

Intriguing!
Mind you, they got the location of the album recording wrong, and Polly and Steve debunked the "relationship" thing in the "rubber trousers" interview, so who knows ...

the description suggest they are talking about "rub til it bleeds." I think they have quoted some mangled lyrics

this seems similar to..

I love it, I'll kill it

this

I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it

then again it could be 2 different songs to the same melody...

Yes, this seems the most logic explanation...

Exactly, and they also described Rub til it Bleeds as the shortest song, while it is actually the longest (5:04) so... not very reliable.
