you would make the prettiest of brides
(oh baby i got you workin from the nine to five)
you would make the prettiest rape victim
(oh baby i got you workin from the nine to five)
goddamn i hope i overdose
your mouth is open and better suits a bottle opener than to talk my pathetic fucking ears off
i'd jab an ice pick in my eardrums if i could someday regain my hearing
i envision (more more more) snapping your neck
(more more more)
tilt back your head and fucking take it
milligram count: you've gone too far
diagnosis: finally gone

    My Interpretation:I always assumed the "Tilt back your head..." line was a reference to both the rape and the overdose: he's forcing himself down her throat/her to swallow with the same intensity that he forces himself to swallow his poison-of-choice.

    It occurs to me now that the rape/murder is probably a fantasy, while the overdose isn't, thus his anguish, "Oh, shit! Fuck!"
    (WanganGC8's "O.S.F." speculations seem completely viable too...)

    Also, the title doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the lyrics and is quite possibly random and conjured up at the last second.

    General Comment:Lol@font. But I do agree with everything wanganGC8 had typed. I hadn't thought that the "OH! SHIT! FUCK!" part really had a meaning here... Seeing as though people don't really need a specific reason to cuss these days (including myself- ha.) But, this is the first time I've looked at the actual lyrics. And it was pretty apparent that there was a meaning, but I didn't think of the different situations he could have been experiencing.
    This song's brutal and the imagery is gruesome. But, the song does sound cool. I wish I hadn't read the lyrics, though...

    General Comment:These guys were good a loooooong time ago. The last time I saw them, the vocalist was slurring and was way too high. I miss the old HHLL.

    General Comment:Its about a guy who USED to be in love with a girl.
    Then it went sour and he couldn't stand her ass.
    All these thoughts run through his head of how he should kill her.
    So he poisoned her?
    Then when he realizes what he's done hes like OhShitFuck. What do I do now?


    And I agree with Font.
    What the fuck is up with that?
