36D Lyrics
Close your legs, open your mind
Leave those compliments well behind
Dig a little deeper into yourself
And you may find
Come over here just sit right down
Needn't comb your hair, needn't pout or frown
I hear you've turned our young men
Into dribbling clowns
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?
Make their day and go ahead
Remove your clothes lie on their bed
Just a last gasp chance or an outside bet
To the easily led
And before you do just what you do
Here' one thought for you to chew
The men who run the business that you sell
They screw you too
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?
You're just another 365 night stand
But you're so handy, you're so handy
You cheapen and you nasty every woman in this land
But you're so handy, you're so handy
Your picture's hanging pretty on the squaddies' walls
You're Steven's, Andy's, you're Ian's, you're Paul's
Your body's through of fondly in the rugby mauls
But you want more
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?
He was trying to save his job
He was, he was trying to save his job.

I read in an interview that it's about page 3 models, which makes sense: "Your picture's hanging pretty on the squaddies' walls" And the chorus is him arguing with his friend about fantasizing/looking for women like these, as the singer Dave sings "36D" then Paul sings "So what? Is that all that you've got" meaning is that the only reason you have for sleeping with women like that.
it's not about prostitutes. it's about models/page 3 girs/soft-core porno actors. it's song asking these women "is that all that you've got?," like, do you have a brain as well?
Ok, a woman who sleeps around, probably a prostitute as well (The men who run the business that you sell, They screw you too )... It's heaton taking pity on her, as if it was someone he knew, but its also as if she's trying to prove something (36d, so what? D so what?)
This is a really good, relatively unknown song. Worth checking out, people, come on!
i love the beatiful south! i agree that this song is about a prostitute (businees that u sell), and the singer is trying to figure out y she does this for money, - (36D so what) , hes saying that theirs more to her than her chest size and it means nuthin in relation to her as a person, which i think hes trying to figure out! shes worth more and he knows it but is trying to show her that.
I agree wiith you all. expecually about the part that states "i love the beatiful south" i listen mostly to heavy metal but the beautifull sout are just soo good
in 1995 i loved playing this song. it's the ultimate piss taking song
I think it's about knowing someone who has potential to be more and trying to show them the possibility exists for them to be more than the victim they are allowing themselves to be.
The missing verse is something like:
"Your name is always mentioned in the jokes he cracks, Your 'Coach and Horses' and your "Woolpacks', Your poses turn the passive into maniacs, But you want more."
And I've never understood the "Coach and Horses" bit. "Woolpacks", yeah, fair enough, but the first bit? Answers on a postcard please. :)
The line "your body's thought of fondly in the rugby mauls" is sheer subversive genius.
Coach and Horse, like the Woolpack is just a generic English pub name. It just means that young men would be cracking jokes and making innuendos at the subject's expense while getting tanked up in the evening.
