Ladder In My Tights Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, yeah shoo-be-doo
Just one more word
And I'm gonna explode
I'm gonna self combust
I'm gonna blow up the world
Just one more look
You're gonna cross the line
And lean over the edge
You're on thin black ice
Oooh, there's a little bit of psycho in me, I confess
Why'd you wanna pick on me and the not the rest?
Does it make you feel big?
Does it make you feel better?
And tell me, how's the weather?
If I just had a little more time
I'd get some duct tape and silverware
Oh, if I just had a little more time
I'd show you...
[chorus]
The world is so much better when you find you don't fit
There's a ladder in your tights
And who gives a fuck if once you ain't shiny and perfect
There's a ladder in my tights
And that's the way, uh huh, I like it
That's the way I feel about it
You'll be trying to hitch a ride with me
When it finally hits you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Just one more push
Trying to make me your clone
Mocking me out of town
For the label on my clothes
Just one more slap
And I'm gonna hit back
I'm gonna burn down your house
In a heated attack
Oooh, there's a little bit of devil in me, I confess
'Cause you wanna pick on me and not the rest
If I just had a little more time
I'd get some C4 and dynamite
Oh, if I had just a little more time
I'd show you...
[chorus]
Hey, you will all be coming around
With the time that you find yourself
Free yourself from the crowd, yeah
[chorus]
And I'm gonna explode
I'm gonna self combust
I'm gonna blow up the world
Just one more look
You're gonna cross the line
And lean over the edge
You're on thin black ice
Why'd you wanna pick on me and the not the rest?
Does it make you feel big?
Does it make you feel better?
And tell me, how's the weather?
If I just had a little more time
I'd get some duct tape and silverware
Oh, if I just had a little more time
I'd show you...
The world is so much better when you find you don't fit
There's a ladder in your tights
And who gives a fuck if once you ain't shiny and perfect
There's a ladder in my tights
And that's the way, uh huh, I like it
That's the way I feel about it
You'll be trying to hitch a ride with me
When it finally hits you
Trying to make me your clone
Mocking me out of town
For the label on my clothes
Just one more slap
And I'm gonna hit back
I'm gonna burn down your house
In a heated attack
'Cause you wanna pick on me and not the rest
If I just had a little more time
I'd get some C4 and dynamite
Oh, if I had just a little more time
I'd show you...
With the time that you find yourself
Free yourself from the crowd, yeah

this is such a great song!!!!!! i think every teenage girl has gone thru this at some stage- theres always all these perfect girls at school who never have anythin wrong with them and they constantly look down on you- even for the ladders in your tights. i think shes tryin to say that its ok to let urself go once in a while and not be perfect all the time. and the duct tape and silverware bit- thats just all the painful revenges you plan on these girls but never carry out
I can relate to this song 100%! I know exactly where she is coming from! Nothing else to add really cuz hyper_skittles was spot on :)
It's like me, people don't think I'm cool because I don't shop in the really expensive places.
Some of the lyrics are painfully wrong.
I think this song is very similar to misfit, in that it's about someone who doesn't fit in but she ultimatley feels it's better to be this way and that she will fly higher. There seems to be hints of bullying and social exclusion, followed by fantasies of revenge.
So basiclly this song is talking about holding together when every one else is changing and being mean to you. Ladder in my tights is when you're worn a pair of tights for a long time and it starts to rip. It almost looks like a ladder, and only a few peices are holding it together... so, just a few peices are holding Amy Studt together.
Just one more word And I'm gonna explode I'm gonna self combust I'm gonna blow up the world = if you say i look weird/ different/ stupid i'll kill some one! Just one more look You're gonna cross the line And lean over the edge You're on thin black ice = if you look at me like i'm a freak... one more time you're screwed!
Oooh, there's a little bit of psycho in me, I confess Why'd you wanna pick on me and the not the rest? = there's physco in me because you pick on me! Does it make you feel big? Does it make you feel better? = the mean people are probably really insecure!!! And tell me, how's the weather? If I just had a little more time I'd get some duct tape and silverware = i'll kidnapp you and flippen kill you! Oh, if I just had a little more time I'd show you... Chorus
Just one more push Trying to make me your clone = the mean people keep telling me to wear juciy couture and i'll be "in" Mocking me out of town For the label on my clothes = my clothes don't have a label, they're just cool Just one more slap And I'm gonna hit back = if you want to mess with me, go ahead! I'm gonna burn down your house In a heated attack = i'll ruin your life like you're ruining mine!!!
Oooh, there's a little bit of devil in me, I confess 'Cause you wanna pick on me and not the rest = don't pick on me, and i might be nicer If I just had a little more time I'd get some C4 and dynamite = moah ha ha ha (evil laugh) Oh, if I had just a little more time I'd show you...
chorus
Hey, you will all be coming around With the time that you find yourself Free yourself from the crowd, yeah = the mean people found themselves CONGRATS(sarcasm)!!! when you finally find out who you are you're going to come to me, and i won't befriend you... i'll just laugh at you, or say no way... you'll be crying i'll be laughing. Just because your nice to me now, doesn't mean you get vip tickets for all me concerts
The person who said that this song is similar to "Misfit" is right. It's about bullying like "Misfit" is, but it also talks about plotting revenge on the bullies that bullied her in school. I don't know if she actually carried out the revenge plots that she describes here.
