Check this one
Fell to the red room
Because she was there, oh
A scarlet woman
She got me in fear, yeah, yeah, yeah

She said, do all those things that you do to me
You know what I mean, boy
Do all those things that you do to me, yeah

Love removal, love removal machine (talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love)
Gimme love, soul shaker, love removal machine (talkin' 'bout love)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I fell from the sky yesterday
You blew my mind, oh yeah
Having trouble with my direction
Upside down psychotic reaction

Love removal, love removal machine (talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love)
Gimme love, soul stealer, love removal machine (talkin' 'bout love)
Love removal, love removal machine (talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love)
Gimme love, fun remover, love removal machine (talkin' 'bout love)

Yeah (talkin' 'bout love)
Love removal, love removal machine (talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love)
Gimme love, fun remover, love removal machine (talkin' 'bout love)
Gimme love, love removal machine (talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love)
Gimme love, soul shaker, love removal machine (talkin' 'bout love)

Look out, here she comes
Look out, here she comes
I said, look out here she comes
Look out here she comes, yeah

Shake it, don't break it, baby
Shake it, don't break it, baby
Shake it, don't break it, baby
Shake it, don't break it, baby
Oh, yeah

Great Song, almost as good as Firewoman, have no idea what it means though, any ideas?

Song Meaning
There are times in a man's live, especially a young man's life, when he may find himself with an excess of "love" in his system. This usually harmless condition can cause discomfort and in severe cases painful swelling in the epididymis. Treatment is simple, mostly involving the excess "love" being drained by an accommodating young Miss (usually). This song celebrates one such, who is so adept at this process as to be a veritable "love removal machine". All of which sheds a certain light on The Cult's 1985 album, named "Love".

I'm inclined to go with charming man & ultimate. Lyric says "scarlet woman" , "red room", in lyric & lore, 'scarlet' is often referred to pro, or woman of the night. This woman relieved him of his tension built up in his nutsack. In doing so, there was no "love" associated with the act. Also, afterwards, he was satisfied, & had no more desire for any more sex, she becoming the " Love Removal Machine ". But that's my take. I speak from experience. My balls ready to explode, I checked onto a massage parlor, way back in 1979, at the age of 19. Laid down my $$$, & had a nice tall blonde (young) woman relieve me of my load. No love involved at all. She was also my love removal machine. I have never looked at females the same since. Kinda sad, but done already.

..From the album "electric" - a very different sounding album than its predecessor "Love". The latter was a goth classic album whilst the former sounds like ACDC! I had always assumed it was about having fun with a prostitute - no love or strings attached.

Like charming man said, it's about pretty much they've had good sex in a room, and probably a prostitute

@ultimatemusic Think the first verse is about prostitution and the second verse tries to tie to war and destruction in some bizarre way that is very disconnected.

He is only with her because he was scared of being on his own. And then she treats him like crap and removes any love he had for her by being a harpy. And the fun as well. Happens to us all. :D Yay, the knowledge of hindsight!

Always took it to mean the chick is a love removal machine because she's kind of crazy. Telling him to give it to her one day then he doesn't know which way is up with her the next "psychotic direction". If you've ever dated a chick who is a little wacko you know what I mean. Crazy sex is awesome, but then you get the crazy chick the rest of the time. 😂
