Baby Fratelli Lyrics

She said oh my, oh no, not I
I was just busy watching everyone go by
Outside the shite bar, in your old red car
Me and your girlfriend and your sister with the big scar

I said oh Christ, I told you twice
It's just not easy going through all these things thrice
What's this I once heard, you drive a bluebird
You got no money for the petrol, that's what I heard

And it's all right, she'll be sucking fingers all night
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight
Sick in the head, first in the bed
So easy to be Friday's nightmare

I said oh no, oh please just go
You got no eyelids and sweet Ella loves me so
She got my number, though I can't stand her
I can't help diggin her a hope I guess I wonder
And oh it's clear, you want me dear
It would be easier if I was never here
You got the money, and I got the reason,
I'll stick around with you for just another season

And it's alright, she'll be sucking fingers all night
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight
Sick in the head, first in the bed
So easy to be Friday's nightmare

She's just getting along,
So don't tell me she's yours
Oh please tell me I'm wrong again
It's all in a day,
So what can you say
Just sleep in yer shoes
With the windowbox blues
Any time you choose, oh yeah

She said oh my, oh no, not I
I was just busy watching everyone go by
What's this I once heard, you drive a bluebird
You got no money for the petrol, that's what I heard

And it's alright, she'll be sucking fingers all night
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight
Sick in the head, first in the bed
So easy to be Friday's wonder

To be honest I took it to mean the girl was an underage fan that was way too forward and obvious about her desire. A)The title being BABY Frateli B)"Fridays Nightmare" aka a disaster the day after C) No eyelids I took to mean an immature or underage look. Also I don't think it's winterbox so much as window box. Would make sense as she would be a "look don't touch"

All wrong that girl was my mum and at the time is 2006 when she was pregnant with me she was 26 and met the fratellis in Glasgow on a night out and then at another concert when the song was written they announced “this is for Jenny and her baby” my mum and me, making me baby fratelli

asdlkljn makes sense. The "eyelids" line is probably a replacement for "eyelashes". As in she was "batting her eyelashes" at him, which just means she was flirting, and "got no eyelashes" means it wasn't working.

I get, I get it!!! I just figured it out - 'I got no eyelids' means his eyes are wide open, he can't close them, so he's staring at her bug-eyed, because she's attractive despite being a train wreck. 'I've got no eyelids (can't stop staring at you) though sweet Ella loves me so (despite the fact that I have a girlfriend). She's a mixed-up, easy girl with a bad rep, but she is hot and he gave her his number despite not being able to stand her. I think it's about temptation, regret, guilt, rationalization and trying to see...

Not Valid

I love the line "Me and your girlfriend and your sister with the big scar". i'm not sure what it means, although i agree with asdlkjn.

I agree with Credendo's view. The line "so easy to be Friday's nightmare" implies that he knows he would regret it if he slept with her, but it's just so tempting.

Yeh I'm seeing them live too............... but the point is what do the lyrcis mean? ATM I'm thinking it's about a girl he meets in the club and just by being persistent and annoying this girl ends with his number even though he can't stand her...... Please add your thoughts!

@Crazee that girl was my mum and the song is about me, she met the fratellis in Glasgow on a night out and then in 2006 when my mum was pregnant with me they wrote that song and announced “this is for Jenny and her baby” my mum and me

@specle hey, the song is about my mum and me she met the fratellis in Glasgow on a night out and the song describes her well she got his number and she was pregnant with me at the time of the song being written and the fratellis announced “this s9ng is for Jenny and her baby” my mum and me
