In an interview with Musicology, Stewart mentioned that the title of this song was something of a tongue-in-cheek approach to something said under your breath when you’re in a bad mood.
One interpretation is that there’s a guy having an argument with his partner; a woman, and just isn’t getting any...
[Verse 1]
Whispers in a cyclone
Going 'round and 'round and 'round they're getting louder
Love songs get fucking boring
When you're picking petals every morning
[Pre-Chorus]
I got a backbone built like driftwood
Well travelled but you know I'm brittle
I'm no used to me or you
So tell me what should I do
When I'm locked up like a fist
That is bloodless shaking, waiting for you
[Chorus]
I'd happily be a shoulder on a cold train seat
Be a body in a warm white sheet
But that takes two
I'm sober now
My head is full of dark grey clouds
Pussy makes the world go 'round
So 'round we go
(Go)
[Verse 2]
Bankrupt in a heatwave
Saying things we don't mean just to behave
Heartache gets fucking boring
When you lose the point and start performing
[Pre-Chorus]
I got a backbone built like driftwood
Well travelled but you know I'm brittle
I'm no use to me or you
[Chorus]
I'd happily be a shoulder on a cold train seat
Be a body in a warm white sheet
But that takes two
I'm sober now
My head is full of dark grey clouds
Pussy makes the world go 'round
So 'round we go
I can't keep up
I guess my baby's is outta luck x3
[Verse 3: Tom Lanyon from Ceres]
Rain on the windshield making shadows on your face
Hands in my pockets cos I don't know what to say
Oh, think of something, think of anything at all
Pussy makes the world go 'round
[Outro: Tom Lanyon, Ben Stewart]
I know she'll go (when I am dead I'm yours)
I know she'll go (when I am dead I'm yours)
I know she'll go (when I am dead I'm yours)
I know she'll go (when I am dead I'm yours)
When I am dead I'm yours
