Eat the Music Lyrics

Split me open
With devotion
You put your hands in
And rip my heart out
Eat the music

Does he conceal
What he really feels?
He's a woman at heart
And I love him for that
Let's split him open

Like a pomegranate
Insides out
All is revealed
Not only women bleed

Take the stone out
Of the mango
You put it in your mouth
And pull a plum out

Take a papaya
You like a guava?
Grab a banana
And a sultana
Rip them to pieces
With sticky fingers
Split the banana
Crush the sultana

Split 'em open
With devotion
You put your hands in
And rip their hearts out

Like a pomegranate
Insides out
He's a woman at heart
And love him for that

Take a papaya
You like a guava?
Grab a banana
And a sultana
Rip them to pieces
With sticky fingers
Split the banana
Crush the sultana

All emotion
And with devotion
You put your hands in
What ya thinking?
What am I singing?
A song of seeds
The food of love
Eat the music

The ETM video is ritualistic, trancelike, and tribal. Kate sways her hair and dances with a group of African women, while the Red Shoes - the demonic, possessed Other - crush the fruit. The whole experience brings to mind the African Zar ceremony.

this song is the sexiest

@smallwonderrobot .. which is about all we can say.

In my opinion the song is pure sensuality and sex, a playful pioneer in blurring gender lines and an advocate for inclusiveness.
