This is the breakfast club

Bring me coffee in the know

Bring me junkie in the love
He said nothing in the tongue
To kill the model from my door, oh yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “Man Research” by Gorillaz are quite enigmatic and surrealistic, leaving a lot of room for interpretation. The song starts with the line, “This is the breakfast club,” which is a reference to the movie of the same name. “Bring me coffee in the know” might imply that the singer is seeking information or knowledge. “See the taffu on the send” is another enigmatic line that could refer to someone wearing a uniform or the singer seeing something on a monitor. The chorus repeats the lines “I got sunshine, I got you, oh / There's nothing, nothing life can do oh oh oh,” which could either convey a sense of optimism or irony.


The second verse of the song adds to its mysterious atmosphere. “Bring me junkie in the love / He said nothing in the tongue” might refer to someone who is addicted to love or drugs but has nothing to say. “To kill the model from my door” could be interpreted as the singer wanting to get rid of something that is disturbing them, but it could also mean that they want to erase certain expectations or ideals that they have imposed on themselves. Overall, “Man Research” is a song that invites different interpretations and encourages the listener to use their imagination.

City's breaking down on a camel's back
They just have to go 'cause they don't know whack
So while you fill the streets, it's appealing to see
You won't get undercounted 'cause you're damned and free
You got a new horizon, it's ephemeral style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
My dreams, they got her kissing, 'cause I don't get sleep, no

Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is ticking, falling down
Love forever, love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

Laughin' gas these hazmats, fast cats
Linin' 'em up like ass cracks
Play these ponies at the track
It's my chocolate attack
Shit, I'm steppin' in the heart of this here (yeah)
Care Bear rappin' in harder this year (yeah)
Watch me as I gravitate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Yo, we gon' ghost town this Motown
With yo' sound, you in the blink
Gon' bite the dust, can't fight with us
With yo' sound, you kill the Inc.
So don't stop, get it, get it (get it)
Until you're cheddar headed
And watch the way I navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)

Love forever, love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land

Don't stop, get it, get it
Peep how your captain's in it (feel good)
Steady, watch me navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! (Feel good)
Don't stop, get it, get it
Peep how your captain's in it (feel good)
Steady, watch me navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! (Feel good)
