Basement Jaxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Miss that so you want to kick that
All messed up and that's a fact
If you want to risk that do that
Yo yo yo
Guess it's time for pay back
Owe it all to splish splash
So mish mash you 'spect to go go go
Yo yo yo yo
[Chorus]
You want it, you take it
You take it, you got it
You want it, you take it
You're insatiable!
It's not enough you want more of it
It's not enough must have all of it
Overflowing on overkill
All the hands are out for their pound of flesh
It makes the world spin round and round
The hands are out for their bloody pound
Overflowing on overkill
Sticky licky yummy yummy
Dipping in the milk and honey
[Chorus]
They say it makes the world spin round
It's not enough you want more of it
It's not enough must have all of it
Overflowing on overkill
All the hands are out for their pound of flesh
It makes the world spin round and round
The hands are out for their bloody pound
Overflowing on overkill
Sticky licky yummy yummy
Dipping in the milk and honey
[Chorus]
They say it makes the world spin round
They say it makes the world spin round
Miss that so you want to kick that
All messed up and that's a fact
If you want to risk that do that
Yo yo yo
Guess it's time for pay back
So you want your cish cash
Owe it all to splish splash
So mish mash you 'spect to go go go
Yo yo yo yo
[Chorus]
Sticky licky yummy yummy
Dipping in the milk and honey
They say it makes the world spin round
Splish splash coming for your cish cash
The lyrics of Basement Jaxx’s “Cish Cash” are a commentary on the insatiable desire for material possessions that is pervasive in modern society. Through vibrant and playful language, the lyrics describe this culture of greed and the lengths to which people are willing to go to get what they want. The opening lines set the tone for the entire song, with the repetition of “yo yo yo yo” creating a sense of urgency and excitement.
The next line, “Miss that so you want to kick that,” suggests a desire for something that has been missed or lost. The use of “kick” implies a violent or forceful action, highlighting the desperate nature of this urge. The lyrics go on to describe the need for “cish cash,” which is likely a play on the phrase “cold hard cash.” The lines “It’s not enough you want more of it/It’s not enough must have all of it” further emphasize this desire for material wealth and the dissatisfaction that comes with never having enough.

I remember seeing Basement Jaxx in 2003 in England after eating an edible brownie. Man I swear it was the freakiest, over the top greatest shows I've witnessed
K-leb
I'm a little concerned that you have to specify that the brownie was edible. You must've had a lot of horrible-tasting, poorly made, inedible brownies in the past.
(I know what you mean by "edible", in case you were worried. I'm mainly just poking fun at how stupid the term "edible" is for food that has marijuana in it)

@K-leb Yes edible is the narc avoidant way of saying that the brownies had weed in them

I wish Siouxsie was in the clip... Great track!
