Meat Market Lyrics
instead of falling in love like that
you should be knocking on my heart
you're back
and you should never forget
that the world where we met
is a meat market
so don't go falling in love with me
you should be digging the scenery
you should be reading the sign overhead
says that this is a meat market
and you'll never get away from me
so what you'd try do about it?
you could just give me your number now
or make me have to live without it
no, you'll never get away from me
don't even try
so, what's your number, little girl?
there will be blood on the streets tonight
'cause in this gutter of a world
i see light
it's in the eyes of a girl
who is so inset (?)
over meat market
i don't believe we've met before
but i'll be walking into my door
and i'll be throwing your clothes on the bed
like i said
it's a meat market
and you'll never get away from me
so what you'd try do about it?
you could just give me your number now
or make me have to live without it
no, you'll never get away from me
don't even try
so, what's your number, little girl?
no, you'll never get away from me
so what you gonna do about it?
you could just give me your number now
or make me try to live without it
no, you'll never get away from me
don't even try
so, what's your number, little girl?
'cause it's a meat market
yeah, it's a meat market
this world
so, what's your number, little girl?
i said, what's your number, little girl?
what's your number, little girl?
you should be knocking on my heart
you're back
and you should never forget
that the world where we met
is a meat market
you should be digging the scenery
you should be reading the sign overhead
says that this is a meat market
so what you'd try do about it?
you could just give me your number now
or make me have to live without it
don't even try
so, what's your number, little girl?
'cause in this gutter of a world
i see light
it's in the eyes of a girl
who is so inset (?)
over meat market
but i'll be walking into my door
and i'll be throwing your clothes on the bed
like i said
it's a meat market
so what you'd try do about it?
you could just give me your number now
or make me have to live without it
don't even try
so, what's your number, little girl?
so what you gonna do about it?
you could just give me your number now
or make me try to live without it
don't even try
so, what's your number, little girl?
yeah, it's a meat market
this world
i said, what's your number, little girl?
what's your number, little girl?
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
sorry, the little girl part makes me think of pedophiles, although the song is totally not about that.
um i think he's got the hots for this chic and he confident about it.
the beginning of this songs guitar is sort of the cure-esque. no?
well Carrick Gearty graduated with a degree in woman's studies & thats definatly contributes to this song, i think he wants to protect his little sister or naive friends [who are girls] from the crazy guys in the world who want to use them. its like Johnathon Swift's A Modest Preposal. its an ironic perspective he takes playing the opposite role.
i personally love the more mature songs of Everybody Else, they arent ridden with teen angst, its a breath of air.
