Merrill Nisker (born 1966 in Toronto), better known as Peaches, is an electroclash artist whose songs are mainly focused on sexuality. She lives and works in Berlin, Germany. She plays almost all the instruments for her songs, programs her own electronic beats, and produces her records.
Peaches' music is preoccupied with gender identity. Her lyrics and live shows self-consciously blur the distinction between male and female: she appears on the cover of her second album Fatherfucker with a full beard; when asked if she had chosen the title for shock value, she commented:
"Why do we call our mothers motherfuckers? Why do we stub our toe and say "Aww motherfucker!"? What is motherfucker? ...We use it in our everyday language and it's such an insanely intense word. I'm not one to shy away from these obscene terms that we actually have in our mainstream. Motherfucker is a very mainstream word. But if we're going to use motherfucker, why don't we use fatherfucker? I'm just trying to be even."
She refutes accusations of 'penis envy', preferring the term 'hermaphrodite envy', since "there is so much male and female in us all". Nevertheless, she does not shy away from identifying herself as a sexual being, although she rejects the sanitised portrayal of women in popular music.
Although she does not hold a teaching degree, she taught at private schools before her career in music.
Fancypants Hoodlum released in 1995 was released under her birth name Merrill Nisker
Members of her band are known as The Herms - JD Samson, Radio Sloan, Samantha Maloney.
Her songs have been featured in movies such as Mean Girls, My Little Eye, Lost in Translation, Waiting, and Jackass: Number Two. Her music has also been featured on Showtime's The L Word television series. Peaches performed guest vocals on P!nk's album Try This, on the song "Oh My God". Her lyrics are discussed as part of the Queer Studies course curriculum at the University Of Toronto, and she has been invited to lecture at the Contemporary Music Academy in Berlin. Her most notorious song, "Fuck The Pain Away", is also the name of an Electro night in Brighton.

In a tight little package and there you have it
Or else we sack it, do you want to sack it?

We wrap it, and then we bag it

I'm a little ambitious, and I want my wishes
So I gotta fuckticious, Sid Vicious, doing all my dirty dishes
I'm a little ambitious, and I want my wishes
So I gotta fuckticious, Sid Vicious, doing all my dirty dishes

The lyrics of Peaches's song Bag It are filled with sexual references and innuendos. The song mostly talks about wrappings, bags, and sacks as a metaphor for sex. The lines "We wrap it and then we bag it, Or else we sack it, do you want to sack it?" is a euphemism for using protection while having sex. Bagging and sacking represent different ways of protection while having sex, and the song is about discussing which method to use.
The song also talks about being ambitious and wanting to fulfill one's wishes, even if it means being "fuckticious" and doing all the dirty work. The line "I'm a little ambitious, and I want my wishes, So I gotta fuckticious, Sid Vicious, doing all my dirty dishes" refers to taking on any task, even if it requires getting one's hands dirty, to achieve one's goals.
The chorus line "You go extreme when you get with me, do you know what I mean?" is about the intensity of the sexual encounter. The lines "Baby, get in and jump me, Or baby, get out and dump me" talk about the willingness to explore new things sexually or leave the encounter if it's not what one wants.
Overall, the song is a celebration of sexual freedom and the willingness to explore one's desires.
Line by Line Meaning
We wrap it, and then we bag it
We conceal it and encase it
In a tight little package and there you have it
In a compact composition, it's all set
Or else we sack it, do you want to sack it?
Alternatively, we could discard it, would you agree to that?
All right, let's sack it
Ok, let's discard it
I'm a little ambitious, and I want my wishes
I have great aspirations, and I desire my goals
So I gotta fuckticious, Sid Vicious, doing all my dirty dishes
So I have to be shrewd, like Sid Vicious, and have others do my dirty work
You go extreme, when you get with me
You become more intense when you are in my presence
Do you know what I mean?
Do you comprehend my intention?
Baby, get in and jump me
Honey, come closer and make love to me
Or baby, get out and dump me
Or darling, leave me alone and end our relationship
