You're the Biggest Thing Since Powdered Milk Lyrics
You're the biggest thing since powdered milk
Believe for me it's true
I can't give you any old thing
But we just got to be good too
My oh my, my kinda woman
In an all-time winning gaffe
I knew some sunny story 'bout a novel and a man
Though it hurts me when I cry
Oh woman child
Oh give it all to me
You're The Biggest Thing Since Powdered milk
Believe for me it's true
I can't give you my guitar
It's all decided blue
You're all I ever want
Oh I need you more and more
But I don't need nobody else
To give me what I came here for
Though it hurts me when I cry
Oh woman child
Oh give it all to me
(Solo)
Watch out or the woman will ruin my soul
Watch out or the woman will take you whole
Oh woman to woman no tears, my soul
That kinda of a woman will ruin my home
And when you want him you tell him 24, tell him 24
The mind is burning
Bright lights in my brain
My mind is confusing
The rich with the sane
Oh woman to woman
Not afraid of the snow
Believe me, woman,
Don't lead me home
And when you want him
You tell him 24, tell him 24
Oh Yeah
What kind of a woman will ruin my soul
What kind of a woman will leave me whole
Woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, oh woman
Believe for me it's true
I can't give you any old thing
But we just got to be good too
My oh my, my kinda woman
In an all-time winning gaffe
I knew some sunny story 'bout a novel and a man
Oh woman child
Oh give it all to me
Believe for me it's true
I can't give you my guitar
It's all decided blue
You're all I ever want
Oh I need you more and more
But I don't need nobody else
To give me what I came here for
Oh woman child
Oh give it all to me
Watch out or the woman will take you whole
Oh woman to woman no tears, my soul
That kinda of a woman will ruin my home
And when you want him you tell him 24, tell him 24
Bright lights in my brain
My mind is confusing
The rich with the sane
Oh woman to woman
Believe me, woman,
Don't lead me home
And when you want him
You tell him 24, tell him 24
What kind of a woman will leave me whole
Woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, oh woman

Behind the scenes: Burke Shelley states that part of the inspiration for the track was a song called 'River to Another Day' written by Charles Ward and covered by Dave Edmunds and Love Sculpture.
As for lyrical content, the song can be seen as a deep love song about someone extremely tight with another. Said person is the best thing that's happened to him since the invention of powdered milk; Budgie loves using large-scale or obtuse comparisons to express simple emotions. It demonstrates one's willingness to give oneself wholly to a person, despite the potential risks and uncertainties involved with falling for someone who might hurt you.
