Cheap Trix
Bluejuice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her relations tell a story
She's a little too classy for me, yeah
She's painted black and immaculate
I got the first text message for free
And when I'm talking to myself
The jukebox sets and I can see each one
Staring back at me
There are cheap trix everywhere
There are cheap trix anywhere
Cheap trix everywhere
There are, there are
There are cheap trix everywhere
There are cheap trix anywhere
Cheap trix everywhere
There are, there are
Got a kid brother in the high school
She's out, he can take care of himself
She hates the job, hates the boss, she knows the cliche
Single, helpless
This one she ...
Almost got sunstroke from contentment
She'll find another time for another line
Rewrite the sketch as intended
There are cheap trix everywhere
There are cheap trix anywhere
Cheap trix everywhere
There are, there are
There are cheap trix everywhere
There are cheap trix anywhere
Cheap trix everywhere
There are, there are
There are
Hey, oh, hey, oh oh oh
Ooh
Ooh
Her relations tell a story
She's a little too classy for me, yeah
She's painted black and immaculate
I got the first text message for free
And when I'm talking to myself
The daydreams bite til I bleed, they bite til I bleed
The jukebox sets and I can see each one
Staring back at me
There are cheap trix everywhere
There are cheap trix anywhere
Cheap trix everywhere
There are, there are
There are cheap trix everywhere
There are cheap trix anywhere
Cheap trix everywhere
There are, there are
There are cheap trix everywhere
There are cheap trix anywhere
Cheap trix everywhere
There are, there are
There are cheap trix everywhere
There are cheap trix anywhere
Cheap trix everywhere
There are, there are
There are
Hey, oh, hey, oh oh oh
Ooh
The lyrics of Bluejuice's song Cheap Trix describe the singer's attraction to a woman who is "a little too classy" for him, but who is also painted black and immaculate, a reference to her edgy and rebellious nature. Despite his interest in her, the singer is haunted by daydreams that "bite til I bleed," implying a self-destructive tendency. The jukebox also sets, suggesting that the singer is in a seedy bar or club, surrounded by temptation and vice. The lyrics also mention "cheap trix everywhere," implying that the singer is aware of the empty and shallow nature of the world around him, but is still caught up in it nonetheless.
The song has a melancholic and reflective tone, with the singer acknowledging his own flaws and limitations. The mention of the woman's "kid brother in the high school" who can "take care of himself" implies a sense of inadequacy on the part of the singer, as though he is unable to protect and provide for those around him. The repeated refrain of "there are cheap trix everywhere" reinforces this sense of futility and disillusionment. In many ways, the song seems to be a comment on the state of modern society, where empty materialism and superficiality are all-pervasive.

Her relations tell a story
She comes from a notable family background
She's a little too classy for me, yeah
I feel like I'm not in her league
She's painted black and immaculate
She is stylish and impeccable
I got the first text message for free
I was the first one to receive her text
And when I'm talking to myself
When I'm having an internal monologue
The daydreams bite til I bleed, they bite til I bleed
My imagination is painfully vivid
The jukebox sets and I can see each one
I can vividly picture the people in the jukebox
Staring back at me
Looking intently at me
Got a kid brother in the high school
I have a younger brother in high school
She's out, he can take care of himself
She is not around, but my brother can handle things himself
She hates the job, hates the boss, she knows the cliche
She despises her work, dislikes her boss, and this is a common scenario
Single, helpless
She feels alone and powerless
This one she ...
This situation she is currently in
Almost got sunstroke from contentment
She is almost too happy and satisfied
She'll find another time for another line
She'll make time for another deceptive plot or scheme
Rewrite the sketch as intended
She'll plan and execute her plot as originally planned
There are cheap trix everywhere
There are deceptive tactics all around us
There are cheap trix anywhere
These tactics can be found anywhere
Cheap trix everywhere
There are many tricks being played
There are, there are
They are everywhere, it's true
Hey, oh, hey, oh oh oh
A rhythmic interjection
Ooh
An interjection indicating interest or awe
