Elvis
Longpigs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Crawled out of the park to eat her took a
Stairwell would I fall to please her
Just to tear this out of my belly forever
Cause I'm still hooked to the light forever
I can do it if you're there
And it's only when you're there

Bless them with the arrogant brandos
Leave your heart stitched in a hundred pieces
If it's not wet then you shouldn't be doing it
She's no bitch she's far too rich
And I can do it when you're there
And it's only when you're there

All these amazing frustrations
Such a perfect celebration
Hardly needs to be said a sensations
Are as perfect as sturbation
Hardly needs to be nailed as frustration
Such a perfect celebration
Hardly needs to be soiled

You wash yourself
You wash yourself
And I wash myself
You wash yourself

End up in a young hair
Curled round with a finger
I can't excuse this
It's all fucked

But if you're there
I can screw it when she's here
I can rule the world six times over
With my head burned out

And my body on hold
I can do it if you're there
And it's only when she's there

All these amazing frustrations
Such a perfect celebration
Hardly needs to be said
All these amazing sensations
Such a virgin celebration
Never needs to be soiled

You wash yourself
You wash yourself
And I wash myself
You wash yourself

The whole world joins the French foreign legion
Get a new suit for the man who discovered Elvis
Was so fat when he died and ascend to heaven
I live here in my watered down Disney baby
With ten million attic clad genius
Abort me 'cause I have to compete
And maybe one man will eventually spit on mars

Save us
If you're there
Only if she's there
I can do it if you're there
I can do it when she's there
You can screw when she's there
You can screw when she's there

All these amazing frustrations
Such a perfect celebration
Hardly needs to be said
[Ooh these amazing frustrations]

[Such a perfect celebration]
[Hardly need to be said]
Ooh these amazing frustrations
You're a virgin celebration

Hardly needs to be dead
[All these amazing frustration]
[Such a perfect celebration]
[Only needs to be said]

All these amazing sensations
Such a perfect celebration
Hardly needs to be said
[All these amazing frustration]





[Such a perfect celebration]
[Only needs to be said]

Line by Line Meaning

Crawled out of the park to eat her took a
I left the park to go after her


Stairwell would I fall to please her
I would do anything to make her happy


Just to tear this out of my belly forever
I want to get rid of this feeling inside of me


Cause I'm still hooked to the light forever
I am still attached to the feeling of love


I can do it if you're there
I feel more confident when you are around


And it's only when you're there
My confidence comes from your presence


Bless them with the arrogant brandos
Praise them, the confident ones


Leave your heart stitched in a hundred pieces
Your heart will be broken in many ways


If it's not wet then you shouldn't be doing it
If it's not passionate, it's not worth it


She's no bitch she's far too rich
She is not mean, she has too much control


All these amazing frustrations
These strong emotions are difficult to handle


Such a perfect celebration
But at the same time, they feel amazing


Hardly needs to be said a sensations
These experiences do not need to be explained


Are as perfect as sturbation
They are just as satisfying as sexual pleasure


Hardly needs to be nailed as frustration
These feelings do not need to be analyzed and made sense of


Such a perfect celebration
They are just perfect as they are


Hardly needs to be soiled
They do not need to be tarnished or ruined


You wash yourself
You take care of yourself


End up in a young hair
End up with a young lover


Curled round with a finger
Playing with their hair


I can't excuse this
I can't explain this feeling


It's all fucked
It's all messed up


I can screw it when she's here
I can handle it better when she's present


I can rule the world six times over
I feel unstoppable


With my head burned out
Despite the exhaustion


And my body on hold
Despite feeling stuck


The whole world joins the French foreign legion
The whole world is united


Get a new suit for the man who discovered Elvis
Celebrate the person who made a great discovery


Was so fat when he died and ascend to heaven
Even when things seemed bad, great things can still happen


I live here in my watered down Disney baby
I am living a diluted and unrealistic life


With ten million attic clad genius
With many other gifted people


Abort me 'cause I have to compete
Give up on me because I am struggling to keep up


And maybe one man will eventually spit on mars
Perhaps one day we will achieve amazing things


Save us
Help us


Only if she's there
Only with her presence


You can screw when she's there
Things are better when she's around


You're a virgin celebration
These intense emotions are pure and untouched


Hardly needs to be dead
These experiences do not need to be destroyed


All these amazing sensations
These intense feelings are amazing


Only needs to be said
They simply need to be acknowledged
