Molly
Deadeye Dick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
“Oh, the big one...One, two, three, four...”
Molly, I'm just out of bath, my hair is wringing wet
The things that you remember, I'd just assume forget
All the lies you told me while we were in the throes
Are better left unspoken
“I'm sorry, please forgive me” is what I heard usually
My guiltiest confession even when I hate you most
I want you anyway...Oh, Molly...
Molly I just was a slave to your helplessness and charms
At times I would deliver you into another man's arms
And simmer in my jealousy, my impatience
And lust and rest away slowly
And though you said you loved me with a trace of sincerity
“I'm sorry, please forgive me” is what I heard usually
My guiltiest confession even when I hate you most
I want you anyway...Oh, Molly...
Molly I just have to run a pool of water at my feet
I know you wouldn't call unless there's something that you need
9 times out of 10, I'd come through 4 you still, but not today, baby
I'm not your friend, I'm not your confidante now
I'm not your lover anymore, and I don't want to know the score
The details and the gore...Molly...Yeah...
As the bones of my reflection stare me squarely in the face
I'm not sure your resurrection would be a saving grace
And the terms of my endearment are an object lesson learned
I'm not sure you'll never hear me or ever did
Oh, Molly, I still want you
The above lyrics are from Deadeye Dick's song "Molly." In the song, the singer seems to be reflecting on a past relationship with a woman named Molly. He remembers how she used to lie to him, but he still wants her despite her faults. He also talks about being jealous and delivering her into another man's arms. However, towards the end of the song, the singer seems to have come to some realizations about their relationship. He no longer wants to be friends or lovers with Molly, and he questions whether her return would be a saving grace.
Line by Line Meaning
Molly, I'm just out of bath, my hair is wringing wet
I am fresh and clean, but my mind is still preoccupied with unpleasant memories of you
The things that you remember, I'd just assume forget
I'd rather forgive and forget the unpleasant things about you that I still remember
All the lies you told me while we were in the throes
I still remember the lies you told me when we were madly in love
Are better left unspoken
It is best to leave those lies unspoken and buried in the past
And though you said you loved me with a trace of sincerity
You said you loved me, but your sincerity was always in doubt
"I'm sorry, please forgive me" is what I heard usually
Your usual response to my doubts and anger was a half-hearted apology
My guiltiest confession even when I hate you most
Despite everything, my deepest confession is that I still love you even when I hate you the most
I want you anyway...Oh, Molly...
Despite knowing your flaws and our history, I still want you, Molly
Molly I just was a slave to your helplessness and charms
I was hopelessly captivated by your alluring charm and your vulnerability, Molly
At times I would deliver you into another man's arms
I was so consumed by love for you, that I would allow you to be with another man
And simmer in my jealousy, my impatience
I would suffer in my silence, my jealousy, and my impatience, waiting for you to come back to me
And lust and rest away slowly
I would try to numb my feelings of lust and longing for you, but they would always remain
Molly I just have to run a pool of water at my feet
I am so restless and worked up about you that I have to run water at my feet to calm down
I know you wouldn't call unless there's something that you need
I am well aware that you still won't contact me unless you want something from me
9 times out of 10, I'd come through 4 you still, but not today, baby
I would have come through for you nine times out of ten, but not today, Molly
I'm not your friend, I'm not your confidante now
I no longer want to be your friend or confidante, Molly
I'm not your lover anymore, and I don't want to know the score
I no longer love you, and I don't want to know what's going on or how you're doing
The details and the gore...Molly...Yeah...
'The details and the gore' of our relationship are too much for me to bear, Molly
As the bones of my reflection stare me squarely in the face
When I look at myself in the mirror, I am reminded of the stark reality of our broken relationship
I'm not sure your resurrection would be a saving grace
I am not convinced that a revival of our relationship would bring salvation or relief from pain
And the terms of my endearment are an object lesson learned
My affectionate terms for you have taught me a valuable lesson
I'm not sure you'll never hear me or ever did
I'm not sure if you ever really cared about me or will ever care
Oh, Molly, I still want you
Despite everything, I still have feelings for you, Molly

geeze guys I absolutely loved each and every show I’ve ever seen you play.. First time I heard Dead Eye was at a Frat party, such personality, catchy lyrics, nice bass by u know who !! The one and only.. Much Love to you (The Band) I will always cherish my mid 20s years through my three favorite bands, Peabody, Cowboy Mouth and The Deadeye Dick. Over the years I have passed through “chunky Mississippi” yes, I remember you, Caleb telling me the story about how you came up with a name for that song while driving in the van going to a show again thank you 🙏 DED

It's sad that they released "New Age Girl" first cuz that was a novelty song. The rest of the album is incredible. I can't believe this and Marguerite didn't make it to the radio around here.
@zepdacat3766
Too true dude. This and Marguerite are unbelievably amazing, let alone these guys have the most outstanding lyrics, what other band uses words like septuagenarians. Perfect Family is another amazing song off this album, let alone The Oath, shit I have to go find my cassette tape right now and listen to this astonishing feat of sound.
@murphy9924
Agreed
@timothymccormick5208
Agreed... that whole album was PURE DOPE!... I think there was only 1.. MAYBE 2 tracks that i would just skip, the rest were on a constant playlist for me... ---and most kept reminding me of a now passed away ex-g/f.---this one especially.. though her name was Amanda, not Molly.
@tompatterson6626
They knew too much music theory and we’re too talented. The globalist music machine couldn’t have that.
@iowa887
Honestly I dont really like it much very slow.... prefer new age girl... this kind of sounds like a teenager and a 40 year old man wrote this song together. With a mix of gay 80s
@brucer2152
Used to play these guys on my radio show. They are awesome.
@aer71367
Great band!
