Shit
Eggleston Kat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But just a simple band who roams about the land,
Dispensing plentyof frivolity.
Mere folks who give distraction are we, yes, and give attraction are we, oh shut up, man
But just a crazy group, that never seeks to sosoup,
Around a pack of little on a leash.
Well,. here we go, back to the home country again.
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
And Mantua and Padua, and then we open again. where?
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
Lots of bars in Cremona, our next jump is Parma, that tearless fearless menace,
And Mantua, and Padua, then we open again. Where?
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
Lots of money in Cremona, our next jump in Parma, that's ingie pingie menace,
Then Mantua, then Padua, and then we open again, where?
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
Lots of players in Cremona, our next jump in Parma, that heartless artless menace,
Then Mantua, then Padua, the we open again. Where?
Oh, let me see now, I got a map, let's pick out someplace.
Well just don't dicado back on the line now, oh let's take the first canyon out of here.
As a matter fact if we hurry we can beat the sack, for the chef's out there waiting for us.
Goodbye boys, gida, gida, gida.
The lyrics to "Shit" by Eggleston Kat are quite complex, but they seem to be a playful commentary on the life of a touring musical troupe. The opening lines establish the troupe as humble and unassuming, not seeking fame or stardom but instead providing lighthearted entertainment to those they encounter. The repeated refrain of the troupe traveling from Venice to Verona to Cremona and so on suggests a sense of constant movement and change as they journey from place to place.
The lyrics also seem to poke fun at the sometimes nonsensical and improvised nature of touring life, with the line "Around a pack of little on a leash" perhaps referring to the troupe's motley assortment of props and costumes. The final lines of the song, with the singer suggesting they choose a new destination at random and hurrying off to avoid being late for a meal prepared for them, underscore this sense of spontaneity and whimsy.
Overall, "Shit" seems to be a celebration of the joys of travel, the humor and camaraderie of life on the road, and the importance of finding pleasure in the small things.
