Break My Body Lyrics
I'm the horny loser
You'll find me crashing through my mother's door
I am the ugly lover
You'll find us rolling on the dirty floor
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
I'm a belly dancer
I'll shake forever and I'll never care
I'm a building jumper
Roof to roof you see me flying in the air
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Somebody got hurt
Somebody get hurt
Somebody got her
You'll find me crashing through my mother's door
I am the ugly lover
You'll find us rolling on the dirty floor
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
I'm a belly dancer
I'll shake forever and I'll never care
I'm a building jumper
Roof to roof you see me flying in the air
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Somebody got hurt
Somebody get hurt
Somebody got her

I think the first line is actually "I'm a horny loser." At least that's what it sounds like to me.
oh yeah.... i think this song is about self hatred.... thats all i can get out of it.... i wish i could get in this guys head.... i wonder what he thinks....
It was only recently that I discovered the Pixies, but to me this song could be interpretted as a reference to liking S&M. The references about being an "ugly lover", "rolling on the floor", and being a "belly dancer" describe sexual things. Also, the fact that the guy describes himself as a "loser" and as "ugly" may makes him seem somewhat masochistic. Thus, "break my body, hold my bones" becomes sexual. Also, the last three lines of the song represent reaching climax.
i think it has a biblical undertone. Jesus Christ said "this (bread) is my body, break it and eat in remembrance of me" maybe, maybe not what the song is about
I'm kind of surprised somebody down voted you. A lot of early Pixies songs had Biblical references.

However, I don't think it has anything to do with Jesus.

This is definitely the best song on Surfer Rosa. Such an incredible song.

Ambiguous lyrics. Great melody and music.
this song is about incest
How dare you all not comment on this song?!? This song is great! ...then again I really have nothing to say besides that but still, damn you all! You should all be ashamed of yourselfs!! >:o
well this song is really good.... everytime i hear it im like... wow why didnt i write that.... haha.... but anyways.... the phrase ugly lover is used in many modest mouse songs..... just compairing two great bands... :)
I'm not sure what the core meaning is, but I don't really care. This song to me is just about giving in to everyone's perceptions of you and not giving a shit about what they think and doing what you want despite their opinion. Break my body almost seems like a challenge to the naysayers if you interpret it this way.
