And head up dear, you're shallow and blind

You don't understand that everybody has bigger problems

And head up dear, the rabbit might die

???

Because I'm putting the boot in tonight

I'm putting my foot down

And head up dear, you're shallow and blind And head up dear, the rabbit might die And you say hi

You try to start again

And you say hi Because I'm putting up with your constant whine

Self explanatory

And that won't last too long

I'm putting my foot down

And friendly faces with put-on smiles

Everybody is faking their smiles

A drunken mind game past

???

Because I'm putting the boot in tonight

And head up dear, you're shallow and blind And head up dear, the rabbit might die And you say hi And you say hi Because I'm putting up with your constant whine And that won't last too long And friendly faces with put-on smiles A drunken mind game past Because I'm putting the boot in tonight

My Interpretation

The rabbit might die is probably a reference to the first type of pregnancy test, called a rabbit test, where they would inject a females urine into a rabbit and if the woman was pregnant something in the urine would kill the rabbit. When someone got pregnant they would say the rabbit has died.

Putting the boot in means to do something to someone with particular brutality. It comes from kicking someone when they're down but can be applied, as I suggest it would be in this case, to giving someone a really nasty verbal kicking.

A very bitter song
