Troublemaker
Mad Marge and the Stonecutters Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the night
I see your eyes
Lookin' back at me
And it feels so right.
The sky is cold
The night is black
Do what you do
Don't ever look back

He's the mischief of the show
Oh yeah, your the trouble maker
And there you go.

Here I stand
Waiting for you
Thinking about
The things you might do
I've come to see
The ruckus you bring
Straight from the heart
The purest thing

He's the mischief of the show
Oh yeah, your the trouble maker
And there you go.

I said he's the mischief of the show
Oh yeah, there you go

He's the mischief of the show
Oh yeah, your the trouble maker
And there you go.

I try and try
To get inside
I want to be in
Just let me in
I wanna do
The things that you do
We look up to you
So let it begin

He's the mischief of the show
Oh yeah, your the trouble maker
And there you go.

I said he's the mischief of the show

Oh yeah, your the trouble maker
And there you go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Troublemaker" by Mad Marge and the Stonecutters are an anthem to the rebellious spirit. The singer sees the person they admire as a mysterious, alluring figure, and the singer is eager to be part of the trouble they cause.

The singer addresses the "troublemaker" directly, declaring them the "mischief of the show." The song speaks to the attraction of rebellion, the compulsion to push boundaries and challenge authority.

The lyrics are sparse and repetitive, but they capture the essence of rock and roll rebellion. The singer is drawn to the chaos and unpredictability of the "troublemaker," and they want to be part of the action. The notion that the "ruckus" the troublemaker brings is "straight from the heart" suggests that this is not just about causing trouble for its own sake, but about expressing something genuine and heartfelt. Ultimately, the song celebrates the thrill of risk-taking and challenges the listener to join in and become a "troublemaker" themselves.

In the night
During the darkness, when I'm alone

I see your eyes
I think of you, and all the things we could do together

Lookin' back at me
As if you feel the same way

And it feels so right.
This fantasy feels like what I need

The sky is cold
The atmosphere is unwelcoming

The night is black
The darkness is oppressive

Do what you do
Behave how you want

Don't ever look back
Don't feel regret, don't hesitate

He's the mischief of the show
He is known for being a troublemaker

Oh yeah, your the trouble maker
Yes, you're the one causing all the commotion

And there you go.
Continuing on with your trouble-causing ways
