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 ↴

You like it when I like you less
No caress
Just undress
You like it when we play hardcore
The panty-war
You get pussy galore
You like it when I turn your back
Give you no slack

The slack attack
You like it when we leave parts on
When we're getting it on
On and on and on [Repeat: x4]

Come on, hot rod, give me, your wad [Repeat: x4]

You like it when I like you less
No caress
Just undress
You like it when we play hardcore
The panty-war
Then you get pussy galore
You like it when I turn your back
Give you no slack
The slack attack
You like it when we leave parts on
When we're getting it on
On and on and on [Repeat: x4]

Come on, hot rod, give me, your wad [Repeat: x4]

Huh. What? Show me what you got
Rub it against my thigh
Huh. What? Show me what you got
Rub it against my thigh
Huh. What? Show me what you got
Rub it against my thigh
Huh. What? Show me what you got
Rub it against my thigh
You like it when I like you less

(Huh. What? Show me what you got. Rub it against my thigh)
No caress, just undress
(Huh. What? Show me what you got. Rub it against my thigh)
You like it when we play hardcore

(Huh. What? Show me what you got. Rub it against my thigh)
The panty-war, then you get pussy galore
