Hurricane Jane
Black Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jane, I've made it plain,
Although I'm faded as a ghost
I want you here inside me
Say the word
Oh, you've been playing nice,
But I can see it in your eyes,
You're thinking, "Christ.
He's everybody's girl."

You can't spend the night

Jane, I've seen you at the club
You were tearin' up the rug
With no regard for form
You're such a brute!
You had a ready elbow
For the girls you hate
Or just don't know
You head-butt me,
Cos you thought it was cute

You can't spend the night
Yes, I'm sure you're right
You can't spend the night
Yeah, I'm sure you're right
You can't spend the night
Yes, I'm sure you're right
But we could spend the night together
Or alone. That would be better

It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody
Oh, what's the use of making a bed?
I took something and it feels like karate
It's kicked me down and left me for dead
It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody,
So what's the use of pulling a shape?
I put what I want, when I want, in my body
I'm never gonna give what I take

Jane, I've seen the pain you've dealt
You've been with all my friends
You tell me guard my heart,
I might get hurt
No doubt you'll hurt my feelings,
And it's a given I'll be kneeling




But I'm telling myself
That it's gonna be worth it

Overall Meaning

“Hurricane Jane” by Black Kids is a song about desire, longing, and the complexities of relationships. The song opens with the singer expressing their desire for someone, likely someone named Jane. They want Jane to be inside of them and are tired of playing nice with her. The singer acknowledges that Jane is not exclusive to them, which creates tension in their relationship. The chorus repeats multiple times, with the singer stating that Jane cannot spend the night. This suggests that there are limitations in their relationship and that they cannot have everything they want.


The second verse of the song takes a darker tone. The singer is at a club and witnesses Jane acting violently towards other women. When the singer tries to intervene, Jane headbutts them. This aggression only adds to the tension in the relationship, and the chorus repeats once again that Jane cannot spend the night. The bridge of the song is a reflection on the singer’s loneliness and their desire to have someone there for them. They acknowledge that they’ve taken something that makes them feel like karate has kicked them down and left them for dead, but their desire for a connection is so strong that they are never going to give up taking what they want.
