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 ↴
Thought you were a problem
Thought you were a problem
And you're a stretcher case baby
Say you could kiss like a dream
Say your kisses like peaches and cream
But while you're here
'Cause you're a stretcher case baby
Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
You're a stretcher case baby
Make a little floor for the 30 year old whore
Soon you'll be let out
Not for your ecstasy but
It's your autopsy
Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
And you're a stretcher case baby
Sucker wanna pay so what do you say?
I'm gonna scream
You caught a brick in your face
That's why
You're a stretcher case baby
Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
And you're a stretcher case baby
Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
Thought you were a problem (problem)
And you're a stretcher case baby
You
can't get away from the truth
You're a stretcher case baby
The lyrics of Peaches's song "Sucker" seem to be addressing an individual who the singer once believed was a problem. The repeated use of the phrase "thought you were a problem" suggests that the person in question may have presented themselves as challenging or difficult to deal with. Additionally, the line "you're a stretcher case baby" indicates that this person may have needed medical attention or emergency care at some point.
The lyrics also contain references to the individual's purported abilities, specifically their kissing. The line "say you could kiss like a dream" reinforces the idea that the person had qualities that were initially attractive to the singer. However, the subsequent lyrics indicate that these qualities are not sufficient to change the singer's opinion of the individual, as they are still classified as a "stretcher case baby."
The lyrics take a darker turn in the second half, where the reference to a "30 year old whore" and the suggestion of an autopsy indicate a darker, more violent side to the song's meaning. The line "sucker wanna pay so what do you say?" suggests that this person may be trying to buy the singer's favor, possibly with violent consequences.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sucker" seem to be addressing an individual who is problematic, potentially violent, and in need of medical attention. The imagery and references used in the lyrics suggest a dark and unsettling undercurrent to the song's message.

Thought you were a problem
I used to think you were a problem
Thought you were a problem
I used to think you were a problem
Thought you were a problem
I used to think you were a problem
And you're a stretcher case baby
But really, you're a mess and need help
Say you could kiss like a dream
You boasted about your kissing skills
Say your kisses like peaches and cream
You said your kisses were sweet as peaches and cream
But while you're here
However, being here now
That don't mean a thing
It doesn't make a difference
'Cause you're a stretcher case baby
Because you're still a mess and need help
Make a little floor for the 30 year old whore
Construct a space for a prostitute
Soon you'll be let out
She will leave soon enough
Not for your ecstasy but
It won't be for pleasure, but
It's your autopsy
It is to examine and evaluate the damage done
Sucker wanna pay so what do you say?
Men who want to pay for sex, what's your response?
I'm gonna scream
I'm going to express my anger loudly
You caught a brick in your face
You took a hit to your face
That's why
That is the reason
You're a stretcher case baby
Why you're a mess and need help
Thought you were a problem (problem)
I used to think you were a problem

I used to think you were a problem
And you're a stretcher case baby
But really, you're a mess and need help
