Amanda Palmer ft. Dot.AY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name
Open up a beer
And you say, Get over here
And play a video game
I'm in his favourite sun dress
Take that body downtown
I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favourite perfume on
Go play a video game
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do
Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of
Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do
Now you do, now you do, now you do
Now you do, now you do, now you do
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do
Now you do, now you do, now you do
Now you do
Now you do, now you do, now you do
The song "Video Games" by Amanda Palmer ft. Dot.AY relates to a relationship between two individuals who seem to enjoy each other's company and seek pleasure in doing mundane activities together. The lyrics begin with the scene of both individuals being in the backyard, where the man arrives in his fast car, whistles her name, opens up a beer, and requests her to play a video game. The singer is wearing a sun dress and while undressing, expresses her admiration to the man and leans in for a kiss, wearing his favorite perfume. The song emphasizes the relationship and the need to have someone to love, to be loved back, and to spend those moments together being playful.
Throughout the song, the singer mentions being with the man, playing video games, going out with friends, and living for fame. She emphasizes the fun she has always had with the man and him being the one for her. The lyrics suggest that she enjoys his company and is constantly seeking pleasure from him. The song ends with a repetition of the phrase "now you do" to emphasize that the man now knows how to love and understand the singer.

10kfreemen
She was awfully distracting during his set at the chipmusic festival that he was booked to play, at which the track was debuted. Go figure. Haha.
DrZaious
I found her the only entertaining part of the set. Whats entertaining about watching a guy play music on hid mac book and bob his head up and down.
Connor Starks
Though I do love Amanda, I found this one overall to be quite bland. The Lana version has so much more feeling and love behind it, this one just seems to fall kind of flat in comparison.
Modern Moonlight
Are you for real? She gave it the soul original lacked.
