Peaches
Dub Pistols Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Senorita, I'd really love to meet ya
Maybe sip some Magarita on the beach to set the mood
And nothing would be sweeter
Believe me senorita
If I make ya I'll complete ya
So make make me rude
Please believe me
I'm young, free and I'm easy
And down for the sleazy
Infact I freak completely
From Brighton to Tahiti
You can see me

Walking on the beaches
Looking at the peaches

Don't get it twisted
Cos yeah I'm voyeuristic
But I aint some kind of misfit
That's watching your every move
No
I mean I watch ya
Your hot so I spot ya
And the way you work the middle got me thinking bout food
yo
Peach perhaps, watermelons and baps
While I'm trying to keep my rhymes
Slack free and attract ya yo
I'm the kind up early and packed to go

Walking on the beaches
Looking at the peaches

We'll be walking on the beach
With the sand beneath our feet
And a peach within reach to the left and to the right
And since there all ripe then I just got to get me some
Cos I'm a man whose got a fetish for a peach and not a plum
She probably runs laps
Cos she's got heathy lungs
Me I'm up with the sun and I'll be down until it done
You need a little lotion, girl I'll rub it in
When I'm…





Walking on the beaches
Looking at the peaches

Overall Meaning

In the song "Peaches" by Dub Pistols featuring Rodney P and Terry Hall, the lyrics speak of an appreciation for the female form, specifically making mention of peaches and other fruit that could be seen as suggestive. The first verse describes the desire to meet a woman and enjoy a drink, perhaps on the beach, to set the mood. The singer is convinced that he can complete the woman and make her happy, although it is not clear what he means by "make me rude." He asserts that he is young, free, and easy, and not a misfit who watches people all the time. He watches the woman because she is hot, and her movements make him think about food, such as peaches, watermelons, and baps (slang for breasts). The verse ends by stating that he is always ready to move on to the next adventure, from Brighton to Tahiti.


The chorus repeats the phrase "walking on the beaches, looking at the peaches," while also implying that the singer has a fetish for peaches. The second verse continues the theme of enjoying peaches and other fruit while walking on the beach. The singer describes himself as an early riser, while the woman he admires probably runs laps and has healthy lungs. He is willing to rub lotion onto her skin, although it is not clear if this is a consensual action. The song fades out on a repetition of the chorus, suggesting that the beach and the peaches will always captivate the singer's attention.
