Shag Lyrics

It rained because I took the dust of
your bones crushed and seeds all the clouds
It rained for days a blaze of hail and stones
the size of men around your house

Rusy spring uncoils in a baby bottle
Toddler screams overpower the infant death rattle

Push the little baby down the
Push the little baby down the
Push the little baby down the spiral stairs

It's lame because it fell above the needs of this
pretend life and his wishes
So now it limps and counts the hours
Watches the clock by pounding doves and dishes

Delta Force plays on your old gray moniter
Power Team breaks flaming blocks of cinder
Sick of sickness. Youre unkind and a liar
Get your kicks a witness to feeble slaughter

In your castle all your candles drip on the pavement
And the cattle that you laid down drip on the
pavement, from what I've heard
Heard, heard, heard
Cold wet floor
Heard heard

Push the little baby down the
Push the little baby down the
Push the little baby down the
Push the little baby down the spiral stairs

Push the little baby down the
Push the little baby down the
Push the little baby down the
Push the little baby down the spiral stairs

Push the little baby down the
Push the little baby down the
Push the little baby down the
Push the little baby down the spiral stairs

Push

this song can come across as pretty mentally messed up...my boyfriend gets freaked out everytime i start chanting 'push the little baby down the spiral stairs,' but it's the coolest sinister sounding sound i've ever freakin' heard.

would the metaphorical meaning be that people start young and are introduced to violence (or a general messed up world) and follow down that path the rest of their life.

This makes me question whether "push the little baby down the spiral stairs" is saying it's better to rid ourselves of humans (and thus less evil / violence) or if he's saying that we're all pushed down the spiral stairs as kids and just keep falling after that?

I think its about a man, and an unwanted infant. He is sick of it being around because it was unwanted, so he plans his death.

Thus, the reason its called shag. Unwanted child from meaningless sex.

Whoa, you don't really know what he's saying until you look at the lyrics, kind of freakish

Wow, you don't know what he's saying until you actually see the lyrics, pretty freakish, but one of my favorite songs nonetheless

I think I'm taking this way too literally... but this song just reminds me of child abuse...

the song contains "pavement" and "spiral stairs". i always figured it was a reference to the band/band member.. i'm probably the only person to think that, though, i'm guessing.

Woah yeah I get what your saying boojitsu. Analogue, you should research that and then comment back telling us what you found, you might have something.

I think Delta Force is an old computer game isn't it? That would make sense since you use a monitor with a computer.
