The lyrics are off. I think they're supposed to be:
Touch me on the inside with a finger full of gravy
Gonna get you on the sofa, lady wanna shake and bake me
Bucket full of blood, got you on my mind
Gonna break my face on the sweet sunshine
Bucket full of blood, got you on my mind
Gonna break my face on the sweet sunshine
I wanna get up off the floor, I wanna run to the devil and get me some more
I wanna get up off the floor, I wanna run to the devil and get me some more
Bottle full of pain with a hog's head screaming
With a scumbag soul and a body always screaming
Grab your wine, tell me where you been
With a violin cryin' and the moon gettin' thin
Grab your wine, tell me where you been
With a violin cryin' and the moon gettin' thin
I wanna climb up on the wall, I wanna swing through the city on a wreckin' ball
I wanna climb up on the wall, I wanna swing through the city on a wreckin' ball
Hail to the dawning of the plentiful sensation
'Cause the town is full of sound and I killed my imagination
Bucket full of blood, got you on my mind
Gonna break my face on the sweet sunshine
Bucket full of blood, got you on my mind
Gonna break my face on the sweet sunshine
I wanna get up off the floor, I wanna run to the devil and get me some more
I wanna get up off the floor, I wanna run to the devil and get me some more
Then again, the vocals on this song are really hard to interpret because of all the weird distortion on it.
I honestly have no clue what this song is about. On one hand, it sounds like it could be about addiction, with lines like "I wanna run to the devil and get me some more" and the "sweet sunshine" is whatever you're addicted to. I can also see it having something to do with masturbation or sex.
Though knowing Beck's Mellow Gold era songwriting, he probably just made them up from the top of his head like he did with Loser, Steal My Body Home, and a few others. I think one of the weirdest things about this song is that it's called "Sweet Sunshine," yet it sounds so...dark. Maybe he was going for that, so he threw in some dark-sounding lyrics for ironic purposes?
