I need a piss
Wanna hate
Fuck it up
Come
My love
Eat your meat
Keep your teeth
Run
You lost me
You cost me
You thought me of me, yeah
We're bad
What we do
Stupid fools
You wanna get boned
You wanna get stoned
You wanna get a room like no-one else
You wanna be rich
You wanna be kitsch
You wanna be the bastard of yourself
You wanna get burned
You wanna get turned
You wanna get fucked inside out
You wanna be ruled
You wanna be fooled
You wanna be a woman like a man
Like a, like a, like a
Woman like a man, like a man
Like a woman like a man, treat you like a man
Woman like a man, woman like a man
Like a woman like a man, woman like a man
Woman like a man, like a man
Like a woman like a man, woman like a man
Woman like a man, like a man
Like a woman like a man, like a man
I need a hit
Want to wait
Suck it up
Cum
My love
Eat your meat
Itchy feet
Run
You reach me
You bleach me
You teach me of me, how familiar
We're bad
What we do
Stupid fools
You wanna get boned
You wanna get stoned
You wanna get a room like no-one else
You wanna be rich
You wanna be kitsch
You wanna be the bastard of yourself
You wanna get burned
You wanna get turned
You wanna get fucked inside out
You wanna be ruled
You wanna be fooled
You wanna be a woman like a man
Like a woman, like a
Woman like a man, like a man
Like a woman like a man, woman like a man
Woman like a man, like a man
Like a woman like a man, treat you like a man
Like a man, like a woman like a man
Like a woman like a man, treat you like a man
Woman like a man, woman like a man
Like a woman like a man, like a man
You wanna get boned
You wanna get stoned
You wanna get a room like no-one else
You wanna be rich
You wanna be kitsch
You wanna be the bastard of yourself
You wanna get burned
You wanna get turned
You wanna get fucked inside out
You wanna be ruled
You wanna be fooled
You wanna be a woman like a man
Like a woman, like a, like a man
Treat you like a man
Like a man, man, man, man, man
Like a man, man, man, man
Treat you like a man, man, man, man, man, man
Like a man
Woman like a man, like a man
Treat you like a man, woman like a man
Woman like a man, like a man
Like a woman like a man, treat you like a man
Woman like a man, treat you like a man
Treat you like a man, woman like a man
Woman like a man, like a man, like a man, oh
Woman like a man, like a man
Treat you like a man, woman like a man
Woman like a man, like a man
Like a woman like a man, woman like a man
Woman like a man, treat you like a man
Woman like a man, woman like a man
Woman like a man, woman like a man
Woman like a man, like a man

This song is the most raw, powerful songs I have ever heard. It entirely captures deep emotions in every word.
To me, it's about feeling restless, pumping adrenaline, wanting to scream, rum, just go crazy. Not even about being angry, just feeling purely animal, restless, instinctual. Having to much alcohol, or fire, or adrenaline in your veins to calm down. It's about wanting to stop thinking and just let go.
Damien Rice is the only artist I've ever heard who can capture so much emotion is just the the tone of his voice. And combined with Lisa, it's just absolutely stunning.
This song also points out one of the things I've often thought about Damien, which is the possibility that his feelings are fleeting. He said he loved this girl a lot, but if that is true, how could he write such a scathing and angry song about her? The lines "I'll get a cheaper ticket next time" and "it wasn't worth the ride" are extremely malicious and hurtful. To me, it just shows that his feelings weren't that genuine to begin with. I mean, who falls in love with a cashier at a grocery store, anyway?? (I'm citing I Remember, btw, for those of you less-versed Damien fans.) Probably an over-analysis, but I think when you listen to a large body of an artist's work, you start to get a sense of who they are.
'I need a piss
Wanna hate'
-he needs to get her out of his mind
'Eat your meat
Keep your teeth
Run'
-she eats her meat-gets what she wants from the him (sex), whilst still being able to keep her teeth, run - without taking it too serious (he is just another guy to her)
then it basically makes sense with the adjustment of "you want a room like no one else." Not woman.
thanks 'theforbiddenpoet' for that.
'You teach me of me
How familiar'
linking with 'We're bad...'
-She is acting like he has during the past, however because of the anger in the song it would suggest that he wanted more now, therefore that is why he must forget her... because they have different intentions. Hers are that of the steriotypical man, therefore she is a 'women like a man'.
the song gives the impression that it is not necessarily her fault for acting 'like a man' so to speak, rather that times have changed and she just wasn't looking for the same thing, which angers/upsets him. 'I'll get a cheaper ticket next time' thereby refering to her intentions of sleeping with someone else next time, who isn't looking for committment, but rather a 'one night stand'
... however yes it could have also been about an affair, or something, it's just my view that maybe they met each other with contrasting intentions and this has caused him great hardship... that she didn't necessarily cheat on him because to her they were never truly together, instead having a one night stand.
