Queen and Paul parted ways amicably in 2009, with Paul remarking that he would like to get back together in the future to raise money for charity. Paul has since reunited with Bad Company, and they toured in 2010. Over the years, he's also successfully toured and released albums with his own group centered around him. Paul is ranked number 55 on Rolling Stone magazine's "100 Greatest Singers of All Time". His work has been long influenced by American blues and rock n roll, and he helped play a role in the 70s arena rock and hard rock scenes both in the U.K. and the U.S.
She Moves Me
Paul Rodgers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She moves me man, honey and I don't see how its done
She moves me man, honey and I don't see how its done
She gotta pocket full of money, little doll don't try to help me though
She move me when she get drunk, then she say I'm not nowhere
She call me a dumbbell, she tells me I'm nothing but a square
She got a pocket full of money, the little girl don't try to help me though
(What kinda woman is that?)
She move a crazy man, who say now I'm not so dumb
I take her to a funeral boy, the dead jumped up to run
She look at a deaf and dumb boy, said now I can speak
She shook her finger in a blind man's face, once I was blind but now I see
She moves me man, honey and I don't see how its done
She gotta pocket full of money, the little girl don't try to help me though
The lyrics to Paul Rodgers's song "She Moves Me" describe a woman who has a powerful effect on the singer, but he cannot explain how she does it. The repetition of the phrase "she moves me" emphasizes the singer's lack of control over his emotions and actions when he is around this woman. The fact that she has a pocket full of money suggests that she is independent and self-sufficient, and does not need the singer's help. However, the singer is still drawn to her even though he knows that she has a tendency to insult him and make him feel inferior.
The middle section of the song describes the woman's ability to affect other people as well. When she gets drunk, she tells the singer that he is "not nowhere" and that he is a "dumbbell." However, she also seems to have the power to heal and transform those around her. She takes the singer to a funeral, and the dead "jumped up to run." She speaks to a deaf and dumb boy and suddenly he can speak. She even confronts a blind man and claims that he can now see. The singer is clearly in awe of this woman's abilities, but he is also somewhat intimidated by her.
Overall, the lyrics to "She Moves Me" suggest that the singer is deeply attracted to a woman who has a mysterious and powerful influence over him and those around her. He sees her as both a force of nature and a source of comfort, but he is also aware that she can be unpredictable and even dangerous at times.
