Tonz of Fun
Presence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How shallow can a man be
I borrowed this story from a friend
Now an enemy
'Cause no friend of mine would ever cross the line
And disrespect a lady of any kind

Stranger in my bed
Can't recall last night
That's why
I'm sleepin' with Carney Wilson's head
Oh god
Got to wash my nuts
I've done it once again

Go Go get dressed
Get outta my bed
Now find your way home
Go

Lucky to have survived
She was more than twice my size
Big is beautiful
But I'm just a small guy
And I could break
Under the weight of her thighs
Maybe now I should quit my drinkin'
What was I thinkin'
Oh god
I've done it once again


I had the beer goggles strapped on
Passed out
Face down
Naked on the lawn
Awakened by the vibration of the earth shaking
The type of girl that literally brings home the bacon
In my state of mind
I was hers for the taking
It seems she was interested in some lovemaking
"do you know Jay Slim, I heard he was hung"
It was then that I knew
We were in for wang chung
She grabbed my car keys
My ID
We dipped
In between sips of Schlitz
She kept lickin' her lips
I couldn't tell if that meant she wanted my dick
Or to drive-through KFC for another drumstick

I feel so ashamed
No one to blame but myself
I've done it once again


How shallow can a man be
He must be too blind to see




That he's bleeding insecurities
And she criesâ?¦

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Presence's song Tonz of Fun paint a picture of regret and shame after a drunken one night stand. The song opens with the singer acknowledging the shallowness of his actions, borrowing the story from a friend who is now an enemy after crossing a line and disrespecting a woman. He then proceeds to describe waking up next to a stranger he cannot even recall meeting the night before, with Carney Wilson's head (likely a figurine or photograph) as an unlikely bedmate. He realizes he has made a mistake again and must wash his nuts, as he has done before.


The second verse reveals that the woman in question was larger than him, and he feels lucky to have survived. He questions his drinking habits and vows to quit, realizing that he could break under the weight of a larger woman. The third verse paints a vivid picture of the events leading up to the one night stand, complete with beer goggles, passing out naked on the lawn, and being seduced by a woman who may have been interested in his anatomy or getting more KFC.


Overall, the song speaks to the consequences of shallow behavior and making mistakes while under the influence. It is a cautionary tale of regret and leaves the listener feeling empathetic towards the singer's shame and self-blame.
