Ike & Tina Lyrics

Lyric discussion by hologram heart 

Cover art for Ike & Tina lyrics by Jamie T

This song, first, has a fantastic melody and possibly one of the underrated songs on this album?

As for the meaning, I believe its simply a reference to various types of drugs, and a attitude which suggests a lack of care towards the consequences-suggesting a celebration of youth in london.

"Max says beans are like the touch of God Why not, I haven't got grief 'til Monday"

beans=pills? He is keen to take the drugs because he won't feel the consequnces until monday (work?)

"With slkurs and urs and a half done gram"-obviously a drug reference here

"I'm like gurning it off a my face"- gurning, the side effect of ecstasy

The last two verses seem to show a shift in attitude-the STD clinic and dissaporoving voice of the mother shows the consequences of this seemingly hedonistic lifestyle.

either way, its a fantastic song.
