Wolf In Cheap Clothes
Kovacs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Early blend and silvertown
Mascarade them as the chosen one
But boy, you're a liar, just a thief
Drift away all that's good in me

Don't waste your breath
Cause there's nobody left
Who believes in who you are

Say what you want
I know just where you're comin' from
Born to deceive
But baby you ain't foolin' me
With your shiny shoes and phony lines
You're running out of time
Now that everybody knows
You're just a wolf in cheap clothes

Whisper sweet nothings in my ear
Take adventage and then disappear
With some little lambs, so naive
Let you in while the shepperd sleeps

It's time to confess
And I know you're the best
And I'm (?)

Say what you want
I know just where you're comin' from
Born out of lies
I've opened up my eyes
With your shiny shoes and phony lines
You're running out of time
Now that everybody knows
You're just a wolf in cheap clothes

You're just a wolf
I've got a hunger to feed
Creepin' up on every girl that you meet

Say what you want
I know just where you're comin' from
Born to deceive
But baby you ain't foolin' me
With your cigarettes and phony lines
You're running out of time
Now that everybody knows
You're just a wolf




Now that everybody knows
You're just a wolf in cheap clothes

Overall Meaning

In the song "Wolf in Cheap Clothes", Kovacs sings about a person who is disguised as someone they are not to gain the trust of others. The first verse talks about how this person is not who they say they are, but instead they are a liar and a thief who takes away all that is good. The chorus is a warning to not trust this person, as they are only fooling those who believe in their lies. The second verse describes how this person preys on the innocent, taking advantage of their naivety, while the shepherd sleeps. The bridge is a call for this person to confess who they really are, and the song ends with a reaffirmation that they are just a wolf in cheap clothes, exposed for who they truly are.


Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about people who put on a façade to deceive others. It highlights the importance of being true to oneself and not allowing oneself to be fooled by someone who is not genuine.
