Insect Kin Lyrics
Iron lung I know you well, deal with you like a bad spell
See the trail moon burns, red stripe and vicadin
You were the only one, you were the centre
You never .. on me, I'm not defenceless
In the afternoon as the light dims
Build a life out of all this semtex
You're the brightest one, you were the centre
The perfect opposite of what you asked for
It's just not one way, a negative factor
With all the little wasps out, I'd better take cover
I'd better take cover
Copper tongue, beam me up, lonely without my impediments
Start to save what we used to steal, walking on gelatine
I never noticed you, you were the brightest one
You were wide of me just like the english sun
You caught the light again in a perfect way
The biggest threat of all is in the alleyway
You're the demon seed, you're the factor
You feel better with a little bit of plaster
It's not just one way, a negative factor
With all the little wasps out, I'd better take cover
I'd better take cover, I'd better take cover
There's all the pain in the way she talks
There's all the pain in the way she walks
There's all the pain in her wave goodbye
All the pain in the way she smiles
There's all the pain in her fatal charm
All the pain in her arms
this song is about courtney love i love it every word of it is so true i have never read a lyric about clove that's been written so positive and so negative at the same time i love the last few sentences.. it's true
Yeah this song actually makes sense if you know what the song is about in the first place...but I hate how it is sung well more like screamed
i didn't think it was all about courtney, i heard just the last lines were, anyways, i really like this song. especially that last part
I love it, its so volitile, the way he get so worked up, like in Swim. Its just building, and building, and it just realeases itself and totally calms, the end of this song is like a forshadowing for Cold Contagious. And its perfect, the end of this song i think defnies Bush's playing on the album. The guitars just fit perfectly. the feedback eveything fits to end beautifully. Its beauty
no one's commented in 3 years? oh well...insect kin is a black sheep kinda song in that it's the only bush song that sounds quite like this. Great song...fun to sing to lol.
More comments people! I agree there is a lot of emotion in this song in the way its sung in a sort of desperate scream in places. Good song.

Bush songs don't belong on SongMeanings.net bc they have no real meaning, they're all about what they mean to you!
One of the best songs by my all time favorite band. The climax in the ending is pure fucking i dont even know just amazing.
