Hello everybody!
Get a ride to the west side
Kiss the girl with her tongue tied
Hello everybody!
Work it out 'cause you don't care
Shut down like software
Hello everybody!
Take a sip for the hip-hop
Fuel up at the rest stop
We're just physical creatures of the underworld
She is the queen of the fra-disco scene
Retro dance, freak! (retro, retro, dance)
Singing retro dance beats
Retro dance, freak!
Undercover the girl needs a lover
What's up everybody?
Take a ride on an airplane
Take a bath in champagne
What's up everybody?
Watch the girls all curtsy for the paparazzi!
Let's go everybody!
It's time that we rotate, 'cause it's getting real late
We're just physical creatures of the underworld
She is the queen of the fra-disco scene
Retro dance, freak! (retro, retro, dance)
Singing retro dance beats
Retro dance, freak!
Undercover the girl needs a lover
Retro dance, freak! (retro, retro, dance)
Singing retro dance beats
Retro dance, freak!
Undercover the girl needs a lover
Retro dance, freak! (retro, retro, dance)
Singing retro dance beats
Retro dance, freak!
Undercover the girl needs a lover
We are just physical creatures of the underworld

Love in a Vacuum
'Til Tuesday
'Til Tuesday
Well, in my opinion this song is about being a young & maybe a little naive &/or introverted girl and finding yourself loving a man who is at first very charming, carefree & outgoing, and seems at first to be without limits, as in
"There was a time
you opened up every doorway
you didn't mind if everything
wasn't your way"
then that man starts to gradually become more introverted & shows their more possessive/obsessive side to you as the relationship progresses, even while they keep up the appearance of being carefree & outgoing to everyone else,
"Don't pull away
that goes against what you told me
I look in your eyes
I realize what you've sold me
is love in a vacuum"
so you confront them about the way they're acting and of course they deny it,
"I think you've changed
but you insist that
that's not true"
quite possibly they are an addict of some sort, my guess would be cocaine, &/or showing very obsessive behavior towards you (early on in the video for this song we see the man hanging a picture up, it is a very large portrait of Aimee & it is prominently displayed in his/their apartment for the duration of the song), thus their "love in a vacuum",
"You look so strange, so distant
that you're hardly you
Now I can see
how you have been acting different
You say it's me
but I know
that it isn't
it's love in a vacuum"
but still you are in love with them and don't want to leave them and you know that they are truly in love with you and they don't want you to leave them either, maybe they are convinced you can save them from themself, maybe they are so broken that the possibility of an overdose &/or suicide attempt is very real and you want to get through to them that their behavior not only dangerous but it is also just pissing you off and if they don't wise up they run the risk of loosing you, as in the lines
"You will be lonely
if you leave me alone", so you want to save them but can't get through to them due to the addiction &/or emotional problems they have,
"Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
love in a vacuum
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
You will be lonely
if you leave me alone
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough"
you want them to understand that the love they are giving you is not enough when it is filtered through the vacuum of their drug addiction &/or emotional impairment,
"You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough
and just wait
you will be lonely
Love in a vacuum
Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
Love in a vacuum".
'Love In A Vacuum' for me is a hauntingly truthful acute argument on the loneliness of obsession and almost inevitable loss of love that follows people who are broken in some way or another; the obsessives, the coke heads, the drunks, addicts or the just-plain-old emotionally broken; a razor sharp, lyrically driven, deceptively poppy, yet ultimately-depressing-in-the-best-way song.
Quintessential Aimee Mann.
It's about partying with your friends, I think... but i was searching for a deeper meaning, "we are just physical creatures of the underworld" calls my attention...
And the whole song makes me think about time and backing into it (when she says hello everybody again and again, and later she changes the words a little) well... :D that's what i think!
This is really just about having fun i guess and partying i don't really know but its a good song
Im just wondering, did she get the idea of the beat from Run DMC's song Rock Box? because it is alot like it, i dont mean like the sound but the style with the repetative guitar and the bass line.
but this is an awsome song and one of my favourite right now
This is great. Don;t really know how to describe it other than a party maybe? Wanna hear it live..7/10
its about living a luxurious life, partying and having sex.
Just saying, but it doesn't really sound like her. The style or her voice. The first time I heard it I thought it was Gwen Stefani.
