Centerfold
Against All Authority Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Does she come complete?
My homeroom angel always pulled me from my seat
She was pure like snowflakes, no one could ever stain
The memory of my angel could never cause me pain
Years go by, I'm looking through a girlie magazine
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in between
My angel is a centerfold
Angel is a centerfold
My angel is a centerfold
Angel is a centerfold
Slipping notes under the desk
While I was think about her dress
I was shy, I turned away before she caught my eye
I was shaking in my shoes, whenever she flashed those baby blues
Something had a hold on me when angel passed close by
Those soft fuzzy sweaters, too magical to touch
I see her in that negligee is really just too much
My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold
My angel is a centerfold
Angel is a centerfold
My angel is a centerfold
Angel is a centerfold
Now listen, it's okay, I understand
This ain't no never-never land
I hope that when this fish is gone
I'll see you when your clothes on
Take your car, yes, we will, we'll take your car and drive it
Take it to a motel and take 'em off in private
A part of me has just been wrecked
The pages from my mind are stripped
Oh no, I can't deny it
Oh yeah, I got to buy it
Alright! Alright 1 2 3 4
My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold
My angel is a centerfold
Angel is a centerfold
My angel is a centerfold
Angel is a centerfold
"Centerfold" by Against All Authority is a song that showcases teenage longing and nostalgia. The lyrics are about a high school crush, the "homeroom angel" who was pure and seemingly unattainable. As time passes, the singer sees a centerfold of their former crush in a magazine and feels a mix of shock and admiration. They reminisce about the past and the small moments of interaction they had with their crush, like slipping notes under the desk and being nervous around them. The second half of the song takes a more explicit turn, with the singer imagining a more sexual encounter with their former crush.
The lyrics of this song are an ode to the teenage years and the intense feelings that come with young love. The singer is taken back to a time when their crush was everything to them, and they long for that same innocence and excitement. The mention of a centerfold serves as a metaphor for the idea of unattainable beauty and the way in which we often objectify those we desire. Ultimately, the song is about memory and the lasting impact that these early experiences can have on us.

Slipping notes under the desk
Passing notes to each other during class.
While I was think about her dress
As I daydreamed about what she was wearing.

Her beautiful blue eyes would make me nervous and excited at the same time.

Oh no, I can't deny it
I can't deny my attraction to her.
Oh yeah, I got to buy it
I have to have a copy of the magazine with her centerfold.
My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold
My feelings are mixed as I realize the memory of my classmate has been commercialized.
