Anything Goes
AC-DC/AC/ACDC/ACDC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Standing there holding out your hand,
Better lock up all your doors,
She's like a spinning dynamo,
You're handing out the token prize,
Giving you a brand new ride,
Oh there she goes, she goes,
Banging drums, working out all fast,
Heavy tune I can play it loud,
You know she's blowing away all the others,
You're never man enough take it on all night,
You better razzle dazzle on that stage,
Keep on rocking all through the night,
Oh there she goes, she goes,
And nobody knows,
Where she goes she goes,
A heavy rocking tune is playing,
Playing as the night rolls on,
Sneaking off with the Romeo,
Where she goes, nobody knows
A heavy rocking tune is playing on a flat screen color TV,
Sneaking over creepy crawly, never give it up to take it out through the night,
There she goes she goes, and nobody knows [Repeat: x4]
Where she goes she goes
The lyrics to AC/DC's "Anything Goes" depict the experience of witnessing a rocking band led by a dynamic, electric performer who steals the show. The opening lines suggest that the listener is in attendance at a concert and is mesmerized by the lead singer's energy, perhaps even feeling compelled to offer a hand in appreciation. However, the lyrics also suggest that this performer may be dangerous, as listeners are instructed to "lock up all your doors." The imagery of a "spinning dynamo" further emphasizes the idea of this performer as a force to be reckoned with.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "where she goes, she goes," suggesting that this performer is always on the move and may be difficult to pin down. The bridge of the song focuses on the music itself, describing a "heavy rocking tune" that is played loudly and with great skill. The line, "sneaking off with the Romeo," implies that the performer may have romantic interests, or at least a tendency to elude those who try to track her movements.

I've always been amazed...astounded by Brian's shrill and screechy singing. When you hear him talk he has a deep and husky voice. Fckn incredible how he pulls it off. On even par with Axl Rose in that respect...can't even think of any others that can do it
