Get Around Town Lyrics
It's the bodies' count down, the body count's down.
Get Around Town gentlemen
It's the bodies' count down, the body count's down
To go to jail for us, to go to jail for us.
We need someone, we need someone
To go to jail for us, to go to jail for us.
It's the bodies' count down, the body count's down
Get Around Town gentlemen
It's the bodies' count down, the body count's down.
You'll go to jail for us, you'll go to jail for us.
You won't go home, you won't come back,
You'll go to jail for us, you'll go to jail for us.
It's the bodies' count down, the body count's down
Get Around Town gentlemen
It's the bodies' count down, the body count's down
A tv jail for us, a TV jail for us.
Such a drama, such a war,
A tv jail for us, a TV jail for us.
It's the bodies' count down, the body count's down
Get Around Town gentlemen
It's the bodies' count down, the body count's down
You'll go to jail for us, TV jail for us.
Police on the old place and camera lens,
You'll go to jail for us, TV jail for us.
It's the bodies' count down, the body count's down.
Get Around Town gentlemen
It's the bodies' count down, the body count's down
It's the bodies' count down, the body count's down.
Get Around Town gentlemen
It's the bodies' count down, the body count's down
Well I was hoping to get a few clues about this song's meaning in what other people could have interpreted, but I see I'm the first one ! Pretty normal in a way, seeing as it is a French song not played abroad, and this is an English speaking website... But still if someone comes by, please express your opinion ! My first interpretation would be that the band are looking for a spokesperson, an agent, or a public face of some kind to do all the tedious formalities tied to fame : TV shows, interviews, paparazzi, fan frenzy ... Jail being only a metaphor for all that. But that's only deduced from the last verses, and I'm still not sure about the whole "police" and "war" thing. Maybe it's not showbiz but politics they're describing (with demonstrations and war), cause it's true they tend to merge nowadays. But as for the "bodies' count down" I am totally clueless. Though I would have spelt it "it's the body's countdown, the body counts down" as a singular. it seemed to make more sense and it sounds the same anyway ! My hypothesis would be something to do with modern obsession for healthy figures, skinny or muscular on the one hand, and growing obesity rates on the other, and that our bodies are about to revolt.. In what way is a mystery. I'd be happy to hear you take on these lyrics, please share !
