It's me versus you in love
It's me versus you in love
It's me versus you in love
It's me versus you in love
It's me versus you in love
We'll tag team, double up
Hit you in the sweet spot
And make you wish you'd coughed up
The gloves are off
The gloves are off
It's me you've messing round
Taking us a man down
While you've got us on the ropes
We've planned to play the mess around
He's technically trained
You've got him buckled up
And he will misbehave
You weigh bigger than a train
But I've got the power and the glory
In my boardy brains
The gloves are off
The gloves are off
So why'd you go and have to fight dirty?
Don't fight dirty, don't hit me with the chair
The gloves are off
So why'd you go and have to fight dirty?
Don't fight dirty, don't bat me in the face
The gloves are off
Now what you gonna do when I come for you
With all I've got?
I've got a roll of coins, I'm aiming for your loins
And I will never stop
I learned all I know from watching the wrestling
I think you think I'm about to throw the towel in
Here comes Floor Jack
Watch your back, watch your back
He'll charm you with a double-axe
And then he brings the tie attacks
He's not dressed for a cage
He's robed in garments strictly for another age
Here we come, drop kick
Half nelson, full nelson,
Willie Nelson, Willie Nelson
Body slam, suplex,
Headlock, somer-slam
Elbow drop, jelly-flop
Cage match, grudge match
Snamsno, snamsniey
Alfieley, alscgoboi
Nelsonmas all day, skeluas
Ooh, ooh
It's me versus
Me versus me versus me versus me versus me
I learned all I know from watching the wrestling
I think you think I'm about to throw the towel in
Everyone knows Monday night means wrestling
It's me versus you in love
It's me versus you in love
It's me versus you in love
It's me versus you in love
We'll tag team, double up
Hit you in the sweet spot
And make you wish you'd coughed up
The gloves are off
The gloves are off
It's me you've messing round
Taking us a man down
While you've got us on the ropes
We've planned to play the mess around
He's technically trained
You've got him buckled up
And he will misbehave
You weigh bigger than a train
But I've got the power and the glory
In my boardy brains
The gloves are off
The gloves are off
So why'd you go and have to fight dirty?
Don't fight dirty, don't hit me with the chair
The gloves are off
So why'd you go and have to fight dirty?
Don't fight dirty, don't bat me in the face
The gloves are off
Now what you gonna do when I come for you
With all I've got?
I've got a roll of coins, I'm aiming for your loins
And I will never stop
I learned all I know from watching the wrestling
I think you think I'm about to throw the towel in
Here comes Floor Jack
Watch your back, watch your back

SEX.
Say it with me.
SEX.
DIRECT FROM AN INTERVIEW:
-------------
TNG: Are any of your members gay?
FM: No, but people are always rumoring that one of us is. Sorry to disappoint.
TNG: I figured, but “Boy from School” is so much about being different, and the “You’re my number one guy” refrain in “Ready for the Floor” could give off that impression too.
FM: There’s definitely issues with gender in “Boy from School,” there’s something to do with sexuality in the song. It’s not someone coming out and saying “I’m gay,” it’s more blurring the kind of boundaries in pop songs between girls and boys. It’s the same in “Ready for the Floor.” Initially when he sang the line “I’m your number one guy,” which is just a reference to the original Michael Keaton “Batman” movie, he tried to say a word that was somewhere between girl and guy at the same time. So it was a kind of weird little sound, but in the end it just came out like guy. And everyone was like ‘Ooh, is he gay, is he coming out?” and its just like, ‘No , he’s been married for two years.”
“the gloves are off” is no condom - “bareback”
taking us a man down
it is definitely about sex though - roll of coins aiming for your leg, half nelson / full nelson, sweet spot is g spot (which would explain why you’d wanna give up for a guy - coz its in the ass which hurts, but still is the g spot).
It is still kinda about wrestling, but wrestling with sexual tension, like a gay wrestling porno. Alexis Taylor is the name of a female porn star who used to make wrestling pornos back decades ago, which is who alexis taylor from hot chip idolises is a kitchy and camp cheeky kinda way.
I’d say gay sex because most, if not all, members of hot chip are gay, and the whole thing is wrestling is a big fetish in the gay world, and they only have guys in the film-clip. A lot of their songs are about gay sex and the gay scene. I know coz when they came to Ausralia a few years ago, they were hanging out with my mate at this gay club that he runs once a week.
Anyway... I think the first lyric might be "It's me versus you alone" ?
And I believe it's "You're way bigger and trained", rather than "weigh bigger than a train" (if you watch the video, it shows a text from James Murphy that uses that phrase)
Also, I'm not sure what he's saying in the last line of that verse either, but I thought it might be "in my burly brains"? I don't know, just throwing it out there.
so this is more a smart and ironic depiction of how men of today are still so easily conditionned to be bellicose and too small-minded...
and feed that stupid idea watching 'sport'programs like those, or else.
Hot chip in a light way are talking here of how much the kind of society we evolve in is basically a brutal, primary and really agressive one.
