Giddy Up!
The Hives Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So in the morning
(in your)
And in the evening
(giddy up)

We take the matter (giddy up)
Back in the saddle (giddy up)
Bedtimes are harder (giddy up)
We throw a party (giddy up)
We climb that ladder (giddy up)
Back in the saddle (giddy up)

Now look at all the fun
Now look at all the fuss

This town ain't big enough
Not for the both of us
We fight and disagree
We get so tired see
We're just a fusion babe
Be the solution babe

A only way to reconsile
Is to get back in the saddle for a little ride
Giddy up now

So in the morning (giddy up)
And in the evening (giddy up)
We take the matter (giddy up)
Back in the saddle (giddy up)
Bed times are harder (giddy up)
We throw a party (giddy up)
We climb that ladder (giddy up)
Back in the saddle (giddy up)

Now look at silly me
Now look at silly you

To avoid a problem call
We only make a song
But I'm a said us such
That I dont mind too much
Like how we faught it hun
Ride off to the sun

A only way to reconsile
Is to get back in the saddle for a little ride
Giddy up now

So in the morning (giddy up)
And in the evening (giddy up)
We take the matter back in the saddle (giddy up)
Bed times are harder (giddy up)
We throw a party (giddy up)
We climb the ladder (giddy up)
Back in the saddle (giddy up)

A only way to reconsile
Is to get back in the saddle for a little ride
Giddy up now

So in the morning (giddy up)
And in the evening (giddy up)
We take the matter back in the saddle (giddy up)
Bed times are harder (giddy up)
We throw a party (giddy up)
We climb the ladder (giddy up)
Back in the saddle (giddy up)

So in the morning (giddy up)
And in the evening (giddy up)
We take the matter back in the saddle (giddy up)
Bed times are harder (giddy up)
We throw a party (giddy up)
We climb the ladder (giddy up)
Back in the saddle (giddy up)

Giddy up
Giddy up
Giddy up
Giddy up

The chorus urges the couple to "get back in the saddle for a little ride" as a way to reconcile and overcome their disagreements. The verses describe the daily routine of the relationship, with the couple facing challenges such as bedtimes and disagreements but also having fun and throwing parties together. The lyrics suggest that despite their differences, the couple enjoys being together and is willing to work through their problems.


The chorus of "Giddy Up!" is repeated throughout the song and serves as a rallying cry for the couple to overcome their differences. The use of the phrase "giddy up" conveys a sense of excitement and urgency, as if the couple needs to act quickly to keep their relationship on track. The repeated use of the phrase also gives the song a catchy, sing-along quality.


One interesting aspect of "Giddy Up!" is its use of call-and-response vocals, with lead singer Pelle Almqvist urging the listener to "giddy up" while the rest of the band responds with enthusiastic shouts. This adds to the overall energy of the song and makes it a fan favorite at live shows. Additionally, the song's music video features the band members dressed as cowboys and performing in a Western-style saloon, adding to the song's lighthearted, fun-loving vibe.


Line by Line Meaning

So in the morning
Starting the day with the right attitude


And in the evening
Ending the day on a high note


We take the matter
Taking control of the situation


Back in the saddle
Getting back to business


Bedtimes are harder
When it is time to sleep, it is difficult to shut down


We throw a party
Celebrating achievements


We climb that ladder
Working our way to the top


Now look at all the fun
Marveling at the excitement and enjoyment


Now look at all the fuss
Noticing the conflict and arguments


This town ain't big enough
There is not enough room for everyone


Not for the both of us
We both cannot stay


We fight and disagree
We argue and do not see eye-to-eye


We get so tired see
We become exhausted from the constant disagreement


We're just a fusion babe
We are a blend of different personalities and perspectives


Be the solution babe
Trying to find a solution to the problem


A only way to reconsile
The only solution to fix things


Is to get back in the saddle for a little ride
Is to get back to work and try again


So in the morning
Starting the day with the right attitude


And in the evening
Ending the day on a high note


Now look at silly me
Realizing their mistake


Now look at silly you
Realizing the other person's mistake


To avoid a problem call
Trying to avoid conflict


We only make a song
Instead of fighting, they make music


But I'm a said us such
They realize that they have differences


That I dont mind too much
They are willing to overlook their differences


Like how we faught it hun
Remembering their past arguments


Ride off to the sun
Moving on to better things


Giddy up now
It's time to start working again


Giddy up
Get ready to work
