| Skunk Anansie – Charlie Big Potato Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
I think Charlie is the brother who pretends to be asleep while the sister is woken - and abused. She's alone, because nobody else acknowledges what happened. Now grown, she implores Charlie to tell everyone what happened when they were kids. What happened to her while he was pretending to be asleep. "Charlie Big Potatoes" means walking around like you're a tough guy - like you've got two big potatoes between your legs. "Grow a pair and tell them the sordid truth". |

It seems a lot of people are missing the "The world's your oyster" pun. The Thai word for oyster is "hoy", which is also the Thai slang for female genitalia. Think "all of that hoy is available to you". |

| @RLP: Family of trees is literally your family, especially your parents. They want to be haunted like the little boy haunts the giving tree in his youth. (Haunts is good). | |

I think this song is a sarcastic response to some sort of complaining. I think all the "Baby"s is Stripe actually calling someone infantile/cry-baby. "Nobody tells you where to go"/"Nobody tells you what to do" - it was your own choice, live with it. You didn't have to do (whatever they were complaining about). Possibly in response to some criticism from his fans/supporters, or his character's supporters. Also, video is poetic in the crowd surfing, in that his fans/supporters are holding him up, and he cant get off, not that he necessarily tries very hard, but they're the ones holding him up... "Nobody tells you what to do, baby". Dont complain that he's up there when you put him there. Maybe he's singing as Bush? |
