Milk Bar
Hearts and Rockets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want a Bubble o' Bill
And a bag of Twisties
I want a Chiko Roll
And a 3-night rental
I want a Freddo Frog
I want a loaf of Tip Top
And 3 loose onions
I want a Passiona
I want a carton of milk
And a bag of mixed lollies
I want a Sunnyboy
And a Violet Crumble
I want a Frosty Fruit
Or a Zooper Dooper
I want a pack of Fizz Whiz
And some Hubba Bubba
I want a Passiona
The lyrics to Hearts and Rockets's "Milk Bar" are nostalgic and whimsical, invoking memories of childhood trips to the corner store to indulge in sweet treats and junk food. The singer is asking if anyone wants anything from the store, but instead of asking for practical items, they list off a variety of classic Australian snacks and candies. From Bubble o' Bills to Chiko Rolls to Passiona soda, the singer's list is indulgent and playful. It's worth noting that the mention of a 3-night rental suggests that the singer may be referring to an older era, when video rental stores were a common fixture in many neighborhoods.
The song's lyrics paint a picture of simpler times, when a trip to the corner store for some candy was a highlight of the day. By listing off these specific snacks and candies, the song taps into a collective nostalgia for a bygone era. The singer's desire for these treats is almost childlike, and reflects a longing for the carefree innocence of youth. At the same time, the song's upbeat instrumentals and catchy chorus ensure that it never feels too melancholy or sad. Instead, "Milk Bar" is a joyful celebration of the little moments in life that bring us happiness.
