Woman
Anti-Nowhere League Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woman
I'm in love in you
My love is deep
My love is true
To you, woman, I'm in love

Your hair's so soft
Your eyes are blue
Your skin is warm
And I'll be true to you
Woman, I'm in love with you

You came to me in a dream, I'm sure
You gave your love, you gave much more to me
Woman
Will you marry me?

Do you take this woman
To be your lawful wedded wife
To love and to cherish
And in sickness and in health
Till death do you part?
I do.

Till death us do part [6x]
What's that you just said to me
You didn't love me like this yesterday
Woman
I don't understand

And what's that you did say to me
I guess this love is just more to me
Woman
You're annoying me

Yeah, you're sitting on your arse in your dirty clothes
You're looking a mess, you're picking your nose
Woman
You're a fucking mess

Your tits are big but your brains are small
Sometimes I wonder you got any brains at all
Woman
Ah stuff yourself

Well fuck you, fuck you
Don't you tell me what to do
Woman
Ah fuck off

I've got my deed, I've married you
What did I do to deserve you?
Woman
Why me?

Woman
Woman
Woman
Woman




Woman
I hate you

Overall Meaning

The song "Woman" by the Anti-Nowhere League follows a man's declaration of his love for a woman, expressing his adoration for her physical features and pledging to devote himself to her forever. The opening lines set the tone for the romantic sentiments that the man feels towards his love interest. He describes his love as deep and true. The following lines list the woman's desirable traits, such as her soft hair, blue eyes, and warm skin. Eventually, he asks the woman to marry him, emphasizing his commitment to being her loyal and devoted husband in sickness and in health until death separates them.


However, the woman's reaction is not what he expects. She appears to be dismissive and annoyed, criticizes his apartment and appearance, and even insults him. The man's initial declaration of love turns sour, and he begins to express his hatred for her. The song's lyrics reveal the complicated nature of love and relationships, capturing the intensity of feelings from infatuation to disillusionment.


Interestingly, the song's explicit language and controversial subject matter stirred controversy upon its release. Despite this, the song became a fan favorite and a cult classic, highlighting the punk rock era's themes of rebellion, anger, and dissent.
