Higher & Higher
Farm - the Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see this lady took a bite out of you
And you can't go on in this condition
You go blind just tryin' to crawl out of bed
Like you're the sacrifice of superstition
She's so down-hearted, she's what you want, what you need
Higher 'n' higher, she'll leave your dreams in the fast lane
Taking you higher 'n' higher, you can't fight it
Primal scream, she's got the body of sin
Should be a law against such an invention
A little smile to let you see that she knows
And can sense the smell of your intentions
She's so down-hearted, she feeds the want, feeds the need
She gets you started, drops the bomb, then she takes you
Higher 'n' higher, she'll leave your dreams in the fast lane
Taking you higher 'n' higher, now you'll never be the same
Once bitten, it's forever a game, 'cos her heart will resist all penitention
Now you live for just another chance, to her pleasure that's around the nation
She's so down-hearted, she's what you want, what you need
She gets you started, drops the bomb, then she takes you
Higher 'n' higher, she'll leave your dreams in the fast lane
Taking you higher 'n' higher, you need her love
Higher 'n' higher, she'll leave your dreams in the fast lane
Taking you higher 'n' higher, you can't fight it
Higher 'n' higher
The song "Higher & Higher" by the Australian rock band, The Farm, is a song about being captivated by a woman and the power she holds over a man. The song describes the woman as having taken a bite out of the man and leaving him unable to function without her. She is described as down-hearted, perhaps implying a sense of sadness, but also as being exactly what the man wants and needs. The woman is the one who starts the fire, drops the bomb, and then takes the man to unimaginable heights. The chorus repeats the phrase "Higher 'n' Higher" emphasizing the addictive nature of the thrill that the woman provides.
The woman is described as having a primal energy and the body of sin, which should be legally prohibited. She has a little smile and can sense the man's intentions, making her an expert at seduction. The chorus suggests that the man cannot fight the power of the woman and the pleasure she brings him. The song speaks to the complex nature of relationships, which can be both pleasurable and painful. Once the woman has bitten the man, he is forever caught in the game of chasing her love, even if it means facing resistance from her heart.
Overall, "Higher & Higher" is a song about the passionate attraction that can exist between two people, the highs and lows of love, and the powerful hold that someone can have over us.

I'm a farmer. If you want to have any chance of solving the challenges of sustainable agriculture, make sure farmers have the money to afford what is needed to make this happen . Supermarkets pay us the same for our produce as they paid us 12 years ago, while all costs from fertilizer to labor to electricity have increased dramatically. They take a HUGE mark-up and sell at many multiples higher price. They need to pay farmers A LOT more if we even stand a chance, for a hope, to a sustainable future.

north america should duoble the amount of farmers.....3 million farmers to feed 330,000......without hydroponic/aquaponics it cant be done............i actually find food too cheap in Canada even compared to European food prices

they won't pay more, because they would get a lot less.
Unfortunately, there are only two types of people in this world: those that dig and those that don't.
