Pencil Skirt Lyrics
When you raise your pencil skirt
Like a veil before my eyes
Like the look upon his face as he's zipping up his flies
Oh, I know that you're engaged to him
Oh, but I know you want something to play with, baby
I'll be around when you're not in town
I'll show you how you're doing it wrong
I really love it when you tell me to stop
Oh, it's turning me on
You can tell some lies
About the good times that you've had
But I've kissed your mother twice
And now I'm working on your dad
If you look under the bed you can see my house from here
Now just lie up against the wall
and watch my conscience disappear, now baby
I'll be around when he's not in town
I'll show you how you're doing it wrong
I really love it when you tell me to stop
Oh, it's turning me on
I only come here because it makes you sad
I only do it because I know it's bad
Oh, I know it'as ugly and shouldn't be like that
Oh, but it's turning be on
Like a veil before my eyes
Like the look upon his face as he's zipping up his flies
Oh, I know that you're engaged to him
Oh, but I know you want something to play with, baby
I'll be around when you're not in town
I'll show you how you're doing it wrong
I really love it when you tell me to stop
Oh, it's turning me on
You can tell some lies
About the good times that you've had
But I've kissed your mother twice
And now I'm working on your dad
If you look under the bed you can see my house from here
Now just lie up against the wall
and watch my conscience disappear, now baby
I'll be around when he's not in town
I'll show you how you're doing it wrong
I really love it when you tell me to stop
Oh, it's turning me on
I only come here because it makes you sad
I only do it because I know it's bad
Oh, I know it'as ugly and shouldn't be like that
Oh, but it's turning be on

'Now I'm working on your dad' is not the kind of thing most dildos say.
Pure Sleaze - Yep Dildo, who lives under the bed - 'can see my house from here' 'lies about good times that you've had' <--- boasting to friends about having sex with a man/ but really just a dildo. both your mum and dad have used aid to help thier love lives :| gross. "kissed your mother twice workign on your dad" (though get a mental image of her mum kissing it twice,.. then sticking it up dads butt" LOL Only dildo's dont care if they are turned off - ie 'love it when you tell me to stop' ' oh it's turning me on' refers to the fact that it's still hard even after being turned off..
All other lines are quite obvious lol 'i'l be around when he's not in town'
now this is what I'd put on if I wanted to screw. It's kinky, but the music is sorta hot, although too short. Besides that, huminahuminahumina
completely agree!
completely agree!
I think this song is about a man sleeping with an older, married woman. The 'pencil skirt' seems to suggest an older, more sophisticated person than she. She sleeps with him, even though she knows it's wrong, but it is the wrongness of it all that gets her lover off.
That's creepy :(
I don't see any way to suggest a correction to the lyrics, so here is an accurate version:
When you raise your pencil skirt Like a veil before my eyes Like the look upon his face as he's zipping up his flies Well I know, that you're engaged to him Oh, but I know, you want something to play with baby
I'll be around when he's not in town, oh Yeah, I'll show you how you're doin' it wrong, oh I really love it when you tell me to stop, oh Oh it's turning me on.
Now you can tell us some lies about the good times that you've had But I've kissed your mother twice and now I'm working on your dad, oh baby
I'll be around when he's not in town, oh Yeah, I'll show you how you're doin' it wrong, oh I really love it when you tell me to stop, oh Oh it's turning me on.
If you look under the bed then I can see my house from here So just lie against the wall Watch my conscience disappear, now baby
Yeah, I'll be around when he's not in town, oh Oh yeah, I'll show you how you're doin' it wrong, oh I really love it when you tell me to stop, oh Oh it's turning me on, yeah.
I only come here 'cause I know it makes you sad I only do it 'cause I know you know it's bad Oh, don't you know it's ugly and it shouldn't be like that, but Oh, but it's turning be on.
If it wasn't for "I Spy" this would be my favourite Pulp song. Dead sexy and awesome music to play whilst seducing women.
Dildo... lol... yeah, I see it! I prefer the forbidden tryst scenario though. If a girl looks under the bed while she is on it with a man though, wouldn't it provide a clear view of her girlie bits? That's what I always thought he meant with the "if you look under the bed..." lyric!
Lol. The first few lines make sense with the dildo theory but "I've kissed your mother twice, now i'm working on your dad" and "I really love it when you tell me to stop"... I don't think dildos say those things. So yeah, a sexy professional older (engaged) woman... And a man who's turned on by the whole forbidden fruit thing.♥
Yeah... a man sleeping with an older woman, whose husband may have a job that involves travelling constantly. Then she, burdened by that and lack of enthusiasm maybe, has an affair with this other man, who really enjoys the whole forbidden fruit thing and goes down hard on her ("I really love it when you tell me to stop", "Now just lie up against the wall and watch my conscience disappear") She feels a bit guilty about that and sometimes she even puts excuses to fend him off when he harasses her too much ("You can tell some lies about the good times that you've had") but they keep fucking up anyway...
It's a hell of a song, one of the sexiest things ever recorded, weren't it for the last part of "I Spy"... Jarvis' voice here is top-notch, he gives me the creeps with that fantastic delivery. And I specially dig that cheesy guitar line that gets repeated over and over between the verses.
