Tumbledown

The Jesus and Mary Chain

She's a kick I couldn't miss
Couldn't miss her little twist
Get it on and get it good
Couldn't guess she ever would
Took up time and took up space
She exists outside my space
All I wanted was too much
All I wanted was to touch
Don't expect to get inside me
Give you all I got to give
Hit me again and again
Slip right to me
And slide right through me
Oh honey through me
Away from you
She's a head I couldn't kick
She's a head to make you sick
It's a chance I never took
When she caught me with that look
It's a sin I've never seen
And she tells me how it's been
I'm in deep up to my head
Give it all until I'm dead
Don't expect to get inside me
This is all I've got to give
Hit me again and again
Slip right to me
And slide right through me
Oh honey through me
Away from you
Tumbledown

    General CommentHONEY'S DEAD IS AWESOME. just to think of the sequence "far gone and out" - "almost gold" - "sugar ray" - "tumbledown" i'm already dancing my brains out.

    General CommentI really love the feel of this song, but I wish I could understand what the lyrics are about.

    The first part sounds like it might be about getting a girl that is outside of his league.

    Then it seems like there's some violence, but who's being violent against whom?

    Then maybe he didn't get her after all, but is really trying?

    Then she's saying to him that he'll never get her even if he keeps hitting her?

    I don't get it!
