KIDS
Robbie & Kylie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me smoke heavy tar
Me be groovin' slowly where you are
Notify your next of kin
'Cause you're never coming back
I've been dropping beats since Back in Black
And we'll paint by numbers
Don't mind doing it for the kids
(So come on) jump on board
Take a ride, yeah
(You'll be doin' it all night)
Jump on board feel the high, yeah
'Cause the kids are alright
You've got a reputation
Well, I guess that can be explored
You're dancing with the chairman of the board
Take a ride on my twelve cylinder symphony
But if you've got other plans
The purpose of a woman is to love her man
And we'll paint by numbers
'Til something sticks
I don't mind doing it for the kids
So come on, jump on board
Take a ride, yeah (take a ride, yeah)
(You'll be doin' it all night)
Jump on board feel the high, yeah
'Cause the kids are alright
I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love
I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love
I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love
I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love, woo
Come down from the ceiling
I didn't mean to get so high
I couldn't do what I wanted to do
When my lips were dry
You can't just up and leave me
I'm a singer in a band
Well, I like drummers baby
You're not my bag
Jump on board
Take a ride, yeah (take a ride, yeah)
(You'll be doin' it all night)
Jump on board feel the high, yeah
Jump on board
Take a ride, yeah (take a ride, yeah)
(We'll be doin' it all night)
Jump on board feel the high, yeah
'Cause the kids are alright
Jump on board
Take a ride, yeah (take a ride, yeah)
(You'll be doin' it all night)
Jump on board feel the high, yeah
Jump on board
Take a ride, yeah (take a ride, yeah)
(We'll be doin' it all night)
Jump on board feel the high
The song "Kids" by Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue is an upbeat and energetic pop song about living life to the fullest and taking risks. The opening lines describe the singer as someone who doesn't conform to societal norms; they don't care about being fashionable or appearing cool, they just want to enjoy themselves. They warn those who are more risk-averse that they won't be able to keep up with them, and the song goes on to encourage people to join in and have fun.
The second verse is directed at a specific person, someone who has a reputation for being conservative or boring. The singer encourages them to let loose and join in the fun, promising them a thrilling experience. They even suggest that the purpose of a woman is to love her man, indicating a somewhat old-fashioned view of gender roles.
The chorus repeats the invitation to join in and have a good time. The lines "I'm gonna give it all of my loving / It's gonna take up all of my love" are a reference to The Beatles' "All My Loving", which fits with the upbeat, poppy sound of the song. The final lines of the song are a bit more cryptic; the singer compares themselves to Sean Connery and talks about wanting a monogamous relationship, but then mentions ornithology and invites people to follow them with binoculars. It's unclear exactly what this means, but it fits with the general tone of the song as being light-hearted and fun.
Overall, "Kids" is a catchy pop song that encourages people to let loose and enjoy themselves, even if it means taking risks or going against the norm.

Ain't no chance of the record company dropping me. Press be asking do I care for sodomy. I don't know, yeah, probably
The record company won't let me go. The press asks if I approve of sodomy. I might, I don't know
I've been looking for serial monogamy. Not some bird that looks like Billy Connolly. But for now, I'm down for ornithology
I'm looking for long-term relationships, not a one-night stand with someone who looks like Billy Connolly. But for now, bird-watching is fun
Grab your binoculars, come follow me
Let's go bird-watching together

In which GTA was this song, I had no clue it was in any of it. Speaking of GTA too bad they censored and removed so many and don't want to release any old originals so they don't get backlashes from idiots of today because those would be labeled as ofensive in many ways.

The chorus could power an entire city!
