Sweetmeat
By Pigface
Album:
I love all aminals but they don't love me back.
I tend to put them in a state of full attack.

You think I'd pet a kitten and it would rub against me
But that doesn't ever happen
I must be made of sweetmeat.

Cause they bite me
They try to eat me alive
I get so frightened
I cry.I cry.

I want a pet so bad I can just taste it
I'd love to walk a dog and not be chased by it
You think I'd feed a stray dog and it would love me sweetly
But that doesn't ever happen
I must be made of sweetmeat

Cause they bite me
They try to eat me alive
I get so frightened
I cry

da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da

I can't even take a walk in the great outdoors
Cause suddenly I'm being chased by wild boars.
Squirrels hit me with their nuts.
Raccoons with their hissing bit
The deer they take turns kicking.
The rabbits try to maul me.
The snakes are licking lying
Their tying me down
They wrap them selves around my legs..
The poison me they paralyze me
The birds are pecking my eyes
They rip out of all of my hair
I tell them go on have a bite
Make a pig out of yourselves





I'm made of meat.
And I am sweet meat.

Overall Meaning

At first glance, Pigface's "Sweetmeat" appears to be a whimsical song about how animals don't seem to like the singer. However, upon closer inspection, the lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and fear. The singer professes to love animals, but they don't seem to reciprocate that love, instead attacking or threatening him. He longs for the companionship of a pet, but is afraid to try again because of past experiences. The repetition of the line "I must be made of sweetmeat" suggests that the singer feels like he's a target for animals because he's vulnerable and weak.


The song can be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's experiences with people. Like the animals that attack him, the people in his life may not reciprocate his love or may take advantage of his vulnerability. The line "I'm made of meat. And I am sweet meat" emphasizes the singer's sense of being exposed and unprotected. The chorus, with its repetition of the line "They try to eat me alive," underscores this feeling of being hunted or preyed upon.


Overall, "Sweetmeat" is a darkly humorous song that touches on themes of vulnerability, fear, and loneliness. It suggests that sometimes our desire for companionship and love can leave us exposed and open to attack.

Pigface - Sweetmeat

I love all animals but
They don't love me back
I tend to put them in a
State of full attack

You think I'd pet a kitten
And it would rub against me
But that doesn't ever happen
I must be made of sweetmeat

Cause they bite me
They try to eat me alive
I get so frightened
I cry I cry

I want a pet so bad
I can just taste it
I'd love to walk a dog and
Not be chased by it
By it
You think I'd feed a stray dog
And it would love me freely
But that doesn't ever happen
I must be made of sweetmeat

Cause they bite me
They try to eat me alive
I get so frightened
I cry

Sweetmeat! Sweetmeat!

The birds are pecking my eyes
They rip out of all of my hair
I tell them go on have a bite
Make a pig out of yourselves

I'm made of meat
And I am sweet meat

Love me freely
But that doesn't ever happen
