Skin Up Pin Up Lyrics

Sniffle this, sniff on this
My skin up pin up, oh yeah
Monday to Friday
Nobody's seen ya, amphetamine-ah

Oh, if I see you, would you stop and say hello?
Oh, if I kiss you, would you run straight up my nose?
Oh, Skeletina, say hello, ooh

We'll take you all on again
We'll take you all on again
We'll take you all on again
We'll take you all on
My all-consuming, self-inducing...

Snivel this, put on this
My skin up pin up, oh yeah
Pick up a lady, tin foil in waiting
Stops me from aching

Oh, if I see you, would you stop and say hello?
Oh, if I kiss you, would you run straight up my nose?
Oh, Skeletina, say hello-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo

We'll take you all on again
We'll take you all on again
We'll take you all on again
We'll take you all on
My all-consuming, self-inducing...

He's my only passion, oh yeah
He's my only passion, oh yeah

We'll take you all on again
We'll take you all on again
We'll take you all on again
We'll take you all on, yeah

Somebody? I like this song a lot, and I would like to know what it means.

If it says "he's my only passion", does it mean it's somethiong about gay sex?

Pick up a lady, tin foil in waiting, does this talk about the shiny costumes worn by drag queens or whores?

"Sniff on this" "snivel that", says there it refers to amphetamines.

@pijuyo I think it is talking about doing a combination of methods and heroin.

@pijuyo The song is about drug use. skin-up = rolling weed (maybe crack in early 90s slang?) The sniffing references = cocaine and meth amphetamine probably a reference to meth. kissing = metaphor used in British music for cocaine and heroin usage (Seal's Kiss from a rose, New Order's The Perfect Kiss). All consuming self inducing = Powerful drug usage Straight up my nose = cocaine or meth Pick up a lady = Pick up cocaine or crack. Tin foil in waiting = smoking crack/coke is done off foil. Skeletina = Seems like a weird reference to cocaine = a female skeleton referencing the earlier slang, and also bone...

The song is a string of references about various drugs. I don't know everything, but here are what some of the slang translates to:

skin-up = Weed The sniffing references = Cocaine/Meth amphetamine = Meth kissing = metaphor for coke and heroin usage used in a lot of UK music including Seal's Kiss from a Rose and New Order's The Perfect Kiss. All consuming self inducing = Powerful drug usage Straight up my nose = cocaine Skeletina = Seems like a weird reference to cocaine = a female skeleton referencing the earlier slang, and also bone is also slang for cocaine. Also, right after the straight up my nose line. Pick up a lady = Pick up cocaine or crack. Tin foil in waiting = smoking crack/coke
