Sister
Paul C. Morrissey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All over this town
Yes, a low wind may blow
And I can see through everybody's clothes
With no reason
To hide these words, I feel
And no reason
To talk about the books I read
But still, I do

That's 'cause I'm a...
Sister I'm a...
All over this town

Along this way
Outside the prison gates
I love the romance of crime
And I wonder :
Does anybody feel the same way I do?
And is evil just something you are
Or something you do?

Sister I'm a...
Sister I'm a...
All over this town

All over this town
They pull over
In their Citroen vans
Not to shake your hands
With Meths on their breaths
And you with youth on your side
All alone...lone...alone, waiting at the lights
But not this time

Sister I'm a...
Sister I'm a...
All over this town...
All...oh




Oh
All over this town

Line by Line Meaning

All over this town
The entirety of this urban area


Yes, a low wind may blow
The weather conditions are currently mild


And I can see through everybody's clothes
I am aware and intuitive of others' true intentions


With no reason
There is no logical justification


To hide these words, I feel
I have an urge to express myself openly


And no reason
There is still no justification


To talk about the books I read
I am not interested in discussing my intellectual pursuits


But still, I do
However, I cannot help but bring them up


That's 'cause I'm a...
This is my identity


Sister I'm a...
I am a woman who is unafraid to be herself


Along this way
As I travel through


Outside the prison gates
In the vicinity of the detention facility


I love the romance of crime
I am fascinated by the allure of law-breaking


And I wonder :
I mull over in my mind


Does anybody feel the same way I do?
Do others share my perspective?


And is evil just something you are
Is evil an inherent trait within someone?


Or something you do?
Or is it a choice an individual makes?


All over this town
The extent of my presence feels larger than myself


They pull over
Individuals in vehicles halt their progress


In their Citroen vans
French cars produced by the Citroen company


Not to shake your hands
They are not seeking to greet or connect with me


With Meths on their breaths
Their breath smells of a narcotic substance


And you with youth on your side
I am young and inexperienced


All alone...lone...alone, waiting at the lights
I am standing at the traffic signal without company


But not this time
However, this instance is different


All...oh
The all-encompassing sensation of myself


Oh
Expressing surprise or emotion


All over this town
I am present throughout this urban area

I'm glad I was born with the ability to enjoy any kind of comedy. For people with a good sense of humor will like this guy!

I discovered that it’s something you can work on. I was born with absolutely no sense of humor. Had an abusive relationship. Got free - and then decided my life needed happiness. So every day I started reading funny memes and listening to Dry Bar - and now I’m a laughaholic. I laugh so easy and I laugh so hard - and I love it. I feel invincible.

You know what they should teach you in school? How to laugh. Let’s scrap “current events” and put in laugh class.

Doug Adams

Same here, David. 😅
