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.

Peaches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wrestle you to the ground
I took you to Regina
Big trouble in little mangina
Fine china breaks
You a weak jock weak spot
You do diddly squat
No plot, you took a shot
I'm hot
Don't rock, you get what I taught?
Not you got
I'm rare, say a prayer
Don't Stare
What is it?
What I wear or my hair?
I got my own witch project layer
Don't care, ride me bareback
Time to spare
Look d-d-dare, you need a new pair
Don't compare me to that other affair
Buck you like a billionaire
Buck you like a billionaire
Buck you like a billionaire
Buck you like a billionaire
Buck you like a billionaire
Devinaire, in my Frieda stare footwear
Sit back in your chair
Come into my layer
Bob up for some air
You square, best health care
You like it like a tortoise
Or you like it like a hare
Momma, Dadda
Have a Rainfall dance
Face full of chocolate eclair (where)
This bit is private
I cant describe it, try it
Too much salt in your diet
Quiet wayit
You stayin' at the Hilton
Or you stayin' at the Hyatt
Buck you like a billionaire
Buck you like a billionaire
Buck you like a billionaire
Buck you like a billionaire
Ooh Billionaire
Love affair
Take you there
Ooh Billionaire
Love affair
Take you there
I'm the most wanted
'Cause I'm makin' niggas want it
Try the K in this bitch
And I run it
You know whats funny
All the complainin' you be doin'
Tryin' to ride on my ass
I'm in a place now
Bitch from your past could be
Destiny, I'm fuckin' ecstasy
Just like the definition it takes the life
It doesn't even matter morning moon light
And in spite of all the bullshit we go through
I wanted to tell you fuck you like
Lick that pussy just right
Who you know this here
I'm fire dynamite
That's right
Outta mind and outta sight
Need that pussy, no doubt
No offense
Bring the hook back in
And watch me act a clown
Just like I'm out of state
Go to the show
In case you didn't know
Now turn around don't follow son
I got you girl, take off your clothes
Damn
Ooh Billionaire
Love affair
Take you there
Ooh Billionaire
Love affair
Take you there

You need a boost
In ya deuce, juiced
Not seduced.
Until they tie the noose
Never over produced
The lyrics to Peaches’s song Billionaire is an eclectic mix of phrases and metaphors that describe the singer's sexual prowess and confidence. In the first verse, Peaches boasts about her sexual prowess, stating that she can wrestle her partner to the ground, and that she has taken him to Regina (presumably a reference to the city in Saskatchewan, Canada). The second verse is even more sexually charged as Peaches invites her partner to come into her “layer,” and suggests that they have sex “bareback.”
The chorus reinforces Peaches’ sexual dominance as she sings, “Buck you like a billionaire” repeatedly. Her tone is assertive and confident, with her lyrics indicating that her partner will submit to her sexual desires. The final verse has Peaches taunting her partner, telling him that he’s crazy and needs a “boost in his deuce” before she implies that they engage in oral sex.
Overall, Billionaire is a sexually charged song that celebrates Peaches’ dominance in the bedroom. With metaphors and explicit language, it's a daring expression of one's sexuality.

Peach'll reach around
I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty
Wrestle you to the ground
I can handle myself in a fight
I took you to Regina
I'm in control of this situation
Big trouble in little mangina
You're no match for me
Fine china breaks
You're fragile and weak
You a weak jock weak spot
You're not as tough as you think you are
You do diddly squat
You're useless
No plot, you took a shot
You tried to make a move but failed
But forgot your the fly that I swat
You're insignificant to me
I'm hot
I'm confident and in control
Don't rock, you get what I taught?
Listen to me and you'll learn something

Until they tie the noose, never over produced
Don't worry about what others think, just be yourself
