Clothes Hoist Lyrics

[INTRO]
You wanna know something, Red?
I like you
I like everything about you
I like the way you fill out your clothes
I've gotta soak my head under your hose

[HOOK]
I've gotta soak my head under your hose

[CHORUS]
I like the way you fill out your clothes
I wanna stick-a my head under your hose
I like the way you fill out your clothes
I wanna stick-a my head under your hose

[...]

[OUTRO]
I like the way you fill out your clothes
I've gotta soak my head under your hose

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Technically "Clothes hoist" is an Australian synonym of "rotary clothesline". But it's also a figure of speech for societal confusion that suburban comforts may raise within certain individuals. Which is probably the context that J.G. Thirlwell meant to address in this song.
