About

Frontman Jonathan Higgs described “Suffragette Suffragette” as “about somebody I broke up with”. As he explained to John Kennedy of Radio X’s X-Posure, “It’s essentially a breakup song. I’m talking about being a coward in lots of very stupid ways. I’m talking about being yellow or having a lily live...

Suffragette Suffragette Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Blitz
You test me no more
I'm calm, now absent
I'm date-rape yellow, black to the liver, come on
Take my lung, take my loose tongue
Take my sum, take my memory
Of nothing at all, nothing at all
Is what you remind me
No thread, no lips, no postscripts
No eclipse of my liberty
Oh, pedigree chum, pedigree chum
I'm never your father

[Refrain]
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm gone?
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm not there?

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Verse 2]
More
My arc light, my knees
When she casts off
Her clothes, I don't know what is reality
And my death throes, this indefinite pose
Her flesh codes inconceivable
Oh, suffragette, suffragette
I wanna be outlawed and AWOL
No alphabet can be used yet
No cassette is available
Oh, I dunno how, I dunno how
I'm gonna reset my whole radar

[Refrain]
Forget (Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm gone?)
Forget (Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm not there?)

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Refrain]
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm gone?
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm not there?
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm gone?
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm not there?

[Bridge]
Taken back and take it back
Of nothing at all, nothing at all
Is what you remind me
And the ball's in your court
In the court, your ball
Oh suffragette, suffragette
I wanna be outlawed and AWOL, but

[Refrain]
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm gone?
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm not there?
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm gone?
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm not there?
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm gone?
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm not there?
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm gone?
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm not there?
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm gone?
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm not there?
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm gone?
Who's gonna sit on your fence when I'm not there?

What's the meaning of the "face"/"fence" ambiguity?

It’s possible that this is just the band getting away with playing ‘indecency’ on air to amuse themselves. For other examples, see Van Halen’s For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, Britney Spears' If U Seek Amy and The Script’s If You See Kay. Even Shakespeare did something similar in Twelfth Night:

What did Everything Everything say about "Suffragette Suffragette"?

In their self-published track-by-track commentary, the band said:

It was one of the first singles we ever played together. It was kind of structured by the four of us from just a two-section loop on the laptop, and it does have the feel of a normal pop song.

I’d always thought writing pop wasn’t w...

Why does he pronounce "suffragette" with four syllables instead of three?

Jonathan explained this in an interview on XFM X-Posure with John Kennedy:

I sing “suffragette, suffragette”–well, in fact I sing “suff-er-a-gette, suff-er-a-gette” and the reason is because in ‘Jet’ by Wings–that’s Paul McCartney–“was a little lady suff-er-a-gette”–and I always loved the way he pu...
