Goldfish Feat. Sakhile Moleshe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no secret wink no just one drink it’s coffee all the way
If a restaurant is what you want only then i’ll play along
let’s do this dance you’ve got one chance, I’m a sucker for a song
A pretty dress, a leopard vest, if you ask me too
i’ll put them on i’ll play along pretend its all for u
But one wrong move if I disapprove you know you going to pay
That women was a devil
that devil stole my heart and
now she’s gone forever
we’ll always be apart
If 2 by 2 is what you do then climb up on this ark
The animals are seeking thrills in an amusement park
Well stow away and watch them play until the sun begins
to set the scene, you’re in a dream surrounded by the fins
The men in grey will have their way as they are closing in
You can’t figure out how to get out or how I sucked you in
you rolled the dice my heart is ice there’s nothing I can say
That’s Just a fact it’s not an act I’ve always been this way
The lyrics of Goldfish's song "Woman's A Devil" seem to describe the singer's reluctance to engage in a romantic relationship with a woman, despite her efforts to woo them. The singer suggests that they're only interested in maintaining a friendship, taking it "day by day." They refuse to engage in any overtly romantic behavior, even if it's something as harmless as a "secret wink" or a "just one drink" over alcohol. The singer acknowledges that they could be swayed if the woman were to play certain songs or wear certain clothes, but warns that if they are not impressed, the woman will "pay" for it. The singer ends the first verse by saying that women are "devils" who steal their hearts and disappear forever - implying a history of heartbreak.
In the second verse, the singer uses the analogy of Noah's Ark to describe the situation. The woman is described as an animal seeking thrills at an amusement park while the men in gray (presumably more serious, businesslike men) are closing in. The singer warns the subject that they have no escape and their heart is "ice," implying a coldness or unfeeling nature. The chorus repeats the line "That woman was a devil," emphasizing the singer's bitterness towards past relationships and perhaps explaining their reluctance to get involved again.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a complex relationship between the singer and the woman they're addressing, with hints of mutual attraction and a history of heartbreak. The repeated phrase "I've always been this way" suggests that the singer is deeply entrenched in their ways, unable or unwilling to change.

one of the most amusing videos of all time. It should have at least a million views. It was flawless for the KIA Soul commercial; the other song wasn't half bad either.
