Matisse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's fire on my tele
With her terylene skirt tonight
Driving me mad, kitten licking a gun
Knock me down again
Help me out, I can't come undone
Your body I like
I'd like, I'd like to get some love tonight
Because I like the way you move
Your body I like
I like, I like to shout it loud tonight
Traveling to London, Paris and Milan
From a magazine, to TV, to a party
You're a movie star
Sucker for your body and those cherry lips
I am sucker for your movies
And loving you to bits
Because I like the way you move
Your body I like
I'd like, I'd like to get some love tonight
Because I like the way you move
Your body I like
I like, I like to shout it loud tonight
Because I like
I like I like I like I like I like I like I like

Her appearance is fire to him as she wears a terylene skirt. He is driven insane by her, like a kitten licking a gun, and he feels knocked down yet again. He pleads with her to help him out as he cannot resist her charms. The chorus is an ode to his admiration for her body and how he would like to get some love tonight. He repeats that he likes the way she moves, and he wants to shout it out loud tonight.
In the second verse, Matisse expands on the fact that this woman is more than just someone he has seen on television. She travels all around the world, from London to Paris to Milan, and has become a movie star. He is a sucker for her body and her cherry lips, and her movies have won over his heart. He repeats the chorus again, emphasizing his love for her.
