Truk
Grinspoon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bring in lots of love, serve it up above
I like buttered buns, she gives me not for wrong
Let's her fight the vick, you fucking point the pick
This universal area wants you
Tried hard, annoyed, I know you were
Your such a sinister being
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Rather point the pick, than go and hit the brake
Driver don't you know, she treats me everyday
Driver don't do that, because I'm to sad
Because I need a match, to kill an animal
Your disappointed and you weren't the best
Rodger a man alone with you now
Your such a sinister being
Will you come round again?
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
All of the cunt's that run around in this
They do their dance until they're older
I'd need the money if I was a widow
Your a wanker
Your such a sinister being
Will you come round again
Your a sinister
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

The chorus repeats the line "You're such a sinister being, will you come round again?" suggesting that the song is about a person who is mischievous and potentially dangerous.
The line "Let's her fight the vick, you fucking point the pick" suggests that the song is about two people who are up to no good and possibly engaged in criminal activity. The line "Rather point the pick than go and hit the brake" reinforces this idea, as it implies that the singer would rather continue on their reckless path than stop and face the consequences.
Throughout the song, there's a sense of defiance and rebellion against authority. The line "All of the cunt's that run around in this, they do their dance until they're older" suggests a disdain for conformity and the idea of settling down. Instead, the singer revels in their reckless behavior and seeming lack of regard for consequences.
Overall, "Truk" is a song that celebrates youth, recklessness, and sexual freedom. Despite its crude language and suggestive lyrics, it captures a sense of playfulness and youthful energy that is difficult to resist.
