Walk out into velvet
Nothing more to say
You're my favorite moment
You're my Saturday

'Cause you're my number one
I'm like a dog to get you
I want it up and on
I'm like a dog to get you

Sunset only seconds
Just ripe then it's gone
Got no new intentions
Just right then it's gone

'Cause you're my number one
I'm like a dog to get you
I want it up and on
I'm like a dog to get you

I'll be there to meet you
Getting down to greet you
Howl under the moon

    General Comment:we're going to ignore supafox because clearly the video ensures she is saying "dog" not "doll" and that just invalidates the entire post there.

    i'm just here to say that i'm obsessed with this song, but i really dislike the video. i want to like it but.. it makes me uncomfortable.

    General Comment:This is a love song pure and simple, the perfect wedding song.

    Walk out into velvet
    (THE RED VELVET CARPET OF THE CHURH)
    Nothing more to say
    (EXCEPT I DO)
    You're my favourite moment
    You're my Saturday

    'cause you're my number one
    I'm like a doll to get you
    (BRIDE)
    I want it out and on
    (RING OUT AND ON HER FINGER)
    I'm like a doll to get you

    Sunset only seconds
    Just right then it's gone
    (WEDDINGS ARE A BLUR FOR THE COUPLE)
    Got no new intentions
    Just right then it's gone

    'cause you're my number one
    I'm like a doll to get you
    I want it out and on
    I'm like a doll to get you

    I'll be there to meet you
    (AT THE CHURCH)
    Getting down to greet you
    (FROM HER BRIDAL CARRIAGE)
    How long to the moon?
    (HONEYMOON)

    General Comment:not every song is about drugs. some! but not all. this is about her One 'n' Only. like a dog to get you... dogs have something to lead them to where they're headed. allison has her music, she'll reach her love. we all have our own leads.

    General Comment:in my opinion, Alisson is absolutely the queen of double (or sometimes triple) entendres. her music so often evokes an incredible sense of love and emotion, as well as clearly depicting EROTIC SCREAMING LUST!!! haha, I'm willing to bet this song was written about both her favourite position, and her favourite partner.

    General Comment:"Waiting to listen" nailed it!

    A fun song I can listen to over and over. About loving someone so much that you would do anything for them. I agree with the comments about sunsets only lasting for so long and their relations but it does have that sexual undertone to it (the video only making it that more obvious).

    Regardless of what it is about, it is a pretty song!

    General Comment:this song's about devotion, pure and simple and plain: doing anything for the one you love, who matters more to you than anyone else.

    General Comment:wow nadsey, asscrack? jk, I think it's implying that he's like a sunset , just right then he's gone. Her life is perfect like a sunset with him but sunsets only last a while and so does the moment. Also on the original soundtrack i think the lyrics are I'm like a bitch to get you, probably in the context of a dog!!!! Meaning she's desperate for him and she' loyal to him only, after all he's her sunset!!! Plus are there any sweeter compliments other than "You're my favorite moment, you're my Saturday"? I haven't heard them!!!

    General Comment:I'm pretty sure with Goldfrapp it's safe to say this song is about a sex and a certain position implied in the video clip...
    "Sunset only seconds" -- Sunset is slang for ass-crack as far as I know, and the lyrics "I'm like a dog to get you/ I'll be there to meet you/ Getting down to greet you/ Howl under the moon" kind imply doggy style... But, that said, it's an awesome song.
