Consumed by the one's who made her
She's a faker, always let's me down
dressed up like a capital shaker
full of ganja
drugs are not put down
All night was a performance
g-string skirts
don't you make me frown
she could've been a nutter
so I had to cut the mother down
Slacker, wasting half is life on sniffing glue
now he's a foreman working for the red the white and blue
plain sailing, safe surfing
public peeling, back stab
Confused by the one's who break her
She's a faker, never makes a sound
undressed like a soul in prayer
buy a share, pay her by the pound
I'll have your face for breakfast
I'm in excess, neither lost nor found
she could've been a nutter
so I had to cut the mother down
Slacker, wasted half is life on speed
now he's reformed and working for the red the white and blue
plain sailing, shoulder rubbing
dental flossing, back stab
Pay - check, Pay - check
Save the best for later
be careful not to stain the sheets now
you god damn liar
take me higher
I never wanted the real thing, I never wanted the real thing
I never wanted the real thing, I never wanted the real thing
I never wanted the real thing, I never wanted the real thing
I never wanted the real thing
Slacker, wasted half is life on sniffing glue
now he's reformed, working for the red the white and blue
plain sailing, wife swapping
stool pigeon, back stab.
Pay - check, Pay - check
save the best for later
be careful not to stain the sheets now
you god damn liar
pants on fire
cold ?lining to fall on me?
but this one really takes the piss
it's likely to proquandry
I deserve so much more than this.

I have no idea why, but I get the feeling this song is about a guy who hires a prostitute; don't ask me why I came to this conclusion.
I agree, i think it's about straightlaced people becoming corrupt behind other's backs. Molko singing "I never wanted the real thing" makes me think the prostitution and character faking references are def in there. i think abuse of a relationship come sout in the line "save the best for later be careful not to stain the sheets now you god damn liar"...that to me sounds like it's about throwing a prostitute out after a session. Paycheck comes up as paying for service.
this song is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the back stab screamy bit!
I f*cking love love love this song. Pay-hay check!
legendary. only brian could pull it off!
I don't think it is about a prostitute, I think it is about a relationship where the two people are quite faux. They pretend to be "working for the red the white and blue" and "capital shaker" but they are behind the seens drug users and are so entangled by there love and lust that they don't want to leave or stay.
I think the last two lines are meant to be
"it's likely to pro quandary I deserve so much more than this."
as in it's gonna make them nonplussed and confused and they know they deserve more, but this is what they have.
entangled by their love and lust* soz lol
