Big Time
Freak Power Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Small town freaks and the local head.
The ding-a-ling girls dive dressed to kill
The boys giggled but they caught it on film.
Big Daddy Love took the room downstairs,
There was cats hanging out in their underwear.
He said, "It smells funky," but he's back for more.
The ninja sex was on the second floor.
Up in the attic with the gooby whip.
Drowned your sorrows with the friends that you keep.
You trashed the garden the fell asleep.
Gilbert and George standing on there heads,
Four on the floor and then four in the bed.
Daisy Lady come shave our skins,
One's too fat and the other's too thin.
Freaky evenings as I recall,
Courtesy of the old snowballs.
Felt tip tripping with the marker sluts,
Tha Fonk Moose done drive you nuts.
Sunday night fever and we're totally wired,
Lord Lenny Lutch is just about retired,
We still watch Elvis on the split screen show,
The party's cardy's stone fit to blow.
Timothy Leary said to Kenny Sharfe,
"I think you need another cheeky half."
We've got Chris Eubank with the serious shit,
As your attorney I advise you to quit.
Garfield on the sofa with the freaks galore,
The Diceman hit him and he rolled a four.
He dug the kid's style and he's friend the roach,
We've got fear and loathing on the Southern Coast,
It's the big time, (gonna get by, by, by,)
It's the big time, (Totally fried, fried, fried.)
The lyrics in Freak Power's song Big Time paint a vivid picture of a wild and unconventional party scene, where people from different backgrounds and lifestyles come together to indulge in hedonistic activities. The opening lines describe a king-size bed occupied by big time lovers, who are joined by small-town freaks and the local head. The ding-a-ling girls, dressed to kill, dive into the scene, and the boys catch everything on film. Meanwhile, Big Daddy Love is hanging out downstairs with cats in their underwear, enjoying the funky smell of the place.
As the song progresses, we learn about different happenings on each floor of the house. Ground floor babies love to flip and trip, whereas upstairs, gooby whip reigns supreme. The attic is another level of freakiness, where people drown their sorrows and trash the garden before passing out. The song mentions various characters, such as Gilbert and George, Daisy Lady, and Chris Eubank, who add to the surreal atmosphere of the party. However, amidst all the madness, the lyrics also hint at the inevitable consequences of excessive indulgence, as Lord Lenny Lutch is just about retired, and Timothy Leary advises Kenny Sharfe to have another cheeky half.
Overall, the lyrics of Big Time celebrate the spirit of recklessness and rebellion that characterizes youth culture. It taps into the primal desire to break free from societal norms and live life on one's own terms. However, in doing so, it also acknowledges the pitfalls of such a lifestyle, as it can lead to burnout and a sense of aimlessness.
