Do It Clean Lyrics
i've got a handful of this
what do i do with it
i've got a barrel of this
what do i do with it
i do it clean
i dot it clean

do it clean
do it clean know what i mean
do it clean
do it clean know what i mean
i mean

where am i going
where have i been
where are you going
where have i been
i've been here
i've been there

i've been here there everywhere
here there nowhere
iszy bitzy witzy witzy everywhere
i've been here and i've been there
i've been

i had a handful of this
what did i do with it
i had a barrel of this
what did i do with it

i did it clean
i did it clean know what i mean
i did it clean
i did it clean i known what i mean
i mean

Hmm, what is it that Mac is doing clean? Not drugs, bearing in mind this was an early song, around 1980... if you've ever seen the Bunnymen live though, you'll know that it's traditional for people to 'point' their shirts at the band during this song. Because "washing your clothes" is as good a meaning for this song as any!

Nice try Rich, but you are way off. "Not drugs," huh. As if there were no drugs in the early 80s. LOL. Echo, New Order, etc. were all considered part of the new psychedelic scene back then. Take a listen to The Cutter and tell me what he means by mixing up the medicine.

Oops, meant to quote, brewing alternatives/what's in the bottom drawer/waiting for things to come from The Cutter. Mixing up the medicine is from Villiers Terrace.

Either way, anyone who doesn't get these drug references is just fooling themselves.

Coke again. Ian loved the stuff. You don't save your coke, you do it clean, the whole sack. Even if he had a barrel of it, he'd do the whole thing at once.

the protagonist of villiers terrace would seem to be expressing horror at a decadent scene...which (if true) would not necessary contradict any of the interpretations here.

Bernard would usually sing "now that we've grown up together/they're all doing drugs with me" when they played "true faith" live (why he wouldn't put it on the LP, who knows). but i don't know which people he would have been referring to.
