Kids
Robbie Williams feat. Kylie Minogue 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 right)
Jump on board feel the high
'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 got other plans
The purpose of a woman is to love her man
And we'll paint by numbers
'Til something sticks
Don't mind doing it for the kids
(So come on) jump on board
Take a ride (yeah)
(Doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high
'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
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
(You'll be doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high, yeah
Jump on board
Take a ride, yeah
(You'll be doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high, yeah
I'm an honorary Sean Connery, born '74
There's only one of me
Single-handedly raising the economy
Ain't no chance of the record company dropping me
Press be asking do I care for sodomy
I don't know, yeah, probably
I've been looking for serial monogamy
Not some bird that looks like Billy Connolly
But for now I'm down for ornithology
Grab your binoculars, come follow me
The song "Kids" by Robbie Williams ft. Kylie Minogue is an upbeat pop song that was released in 2000. The song talks about living and enjoying life to the fullest without any restrictions, and it encourages the listener to join in the fun. The first verse describes the fun the singer is having with smoking and grooving to the music. The second verse talks about exploring new things and the purpose of a woman's love, following the first verse's theme. The refrain, "Jump on board," suggests that the singer wants the listener to come along and enjoy the ride with them.
The line "Notify your next of kin, didn't make the will," means that the singer is living their life to the fullest without any inhibitions, and they are encouraging the listener to do the same. The reference to "Back in Black" by AC/DC alludes to the singer being in the music game for a long time and having experience. The line "you're dancing with the chairman of the board" means that the singer is in control of the situation and is leading the way. The line "the purpose of a woman is to love her man" is a controversial statement that suggests that a woman's sole purpose is to love her partner. Still, it can also be interpreted as the singer's desire for a monogamous relationship that is built on mutual love.

I remember playing GTA as a kid you know the 2D version and GTA has really evolved. San Andreas was my favorite.

Best music teacher
@thestoicjosh
F'yeah.
@troykapix5077
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.
