Skeleton Song Lyrics

Cover art for Skeleton Song lyrics by Kate Nash

Most of her album is about failed relationships with people (she could be singing about a girl, I don't know) around her (from what I understand) so I take this song as a friend/romantic relationship. Like she's been frenemies with this "empty", boring, prickish/annoying person (skeleton) for many years, and all of a sudden, they tell her they like her ("You've got me standing in an awkward position"), and she doesn't really know what do ("And I don't know what to do"). She feels frustrated about the suddenness of the confession ("Smash your head...") , but in the end she accepts that fact, and stays with them ("But skeleton, you are my friend, And I could never bring your life to an end...")
