Dynamite
DAVE EDMUNDS Lyrics

detonation, baby don't you know,
Three two one zero, here I go!

The lyrics to DAVE EDMUNDS's song Dynamite are all about the pure excitement and passion of love. The singer is asking his love to send him love in a package labeled "Dynamite" because he wants to feel an explosion of passion when he holds her tight. The singer is so overwhelmed with his love for this individual that he is almost nervous, acting as if he has a "powerhouse of sexing waiting for you" when she comes back into her loving arms again. He imagines himself sailing across the stars to the silvery moon, indicating that his love is out of this world and he is willing to go to great lengths to demonstrate his affection. Throughout the song, he talks about wanting kisses that explode and the idea of detonation.

This song was released in 1971, during a time when passion was becoming a more acceptable theme in music. The lyrics speak to the feelings of the time, when the sexual revolution was pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable in terms of expressing love and sexuality. The song is high energy, and the lyrics demonstrate the excitement of young love in a playful, upbeat way.
