Any Which Way
Scissor Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bigots and the breeders on the scene
The night don't last forever so get your shit together
Open arms are never what they seem
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
I don't need a doctor, just a simple love concocter
To slide to my sounds so simply
No talk or commitment, when I receive a shipment
Oh, I need express delivery
Any which way, any which way
Better take me any which way you can
Any which way, any which way
You better take me any which way you can
You don't need reservations
No identification
To give me your relations
Sting me like a bee
Oh, I want you to funk me
Your battleship has sunk me
Dip me and you dunk me
Set my body free
Any which way, any which way
Better take me any which way you can
Any which way, any which way
You better take me any which way you can
You know, baby, when I was taking my pantyhose out of their egg this evening
I thought, I'm gonna find that man who's the right shade of bottle tan
A man that smells like cocoa butter and cash, take me any way you like it
In front of the fireplace, in front of your yacht, in front of my parents
I don't give a damn, baby, just take me
Any which way, any which way, any which way you can
Any which way, any which way you can
Any which way, any which way, any which way you can
Any which way, any which way you can
Any which way, any which way
Better take me any which way you can
Any which way, any which way
You better take me any which way you can
Oh any which way you can
Oh any which way you can
Any which way, any which way
Better take me any which way you can
Any which way, any which way
You better take me any which way you can
Any which way, any which way
Better take me any which way you can
Any which way, any which way
You better take me any which way you can
The lyrics to Scissor Sisters's song Any Which Way explore the idea of living life in the moment and with abandon. The song speaks to the feelings of liberation and freedom that come with letting go of expectations and embracing pure pleasure. The scene described in the lyrics is one of a party or club, where people are dancing on speakers and letting loose. The lyrics also touch on themes of bisexuality and non-conformity, with lines about "bigots and breeders on the scene" and the singer being open to "any which way" they can be taken.
This song is an anthem to liberation and freedom of the spirit. It encourages people to seize the moment and live life to the fullest. The lyrics reflect a mindset of non-judgment and acceptance, of oneself and others. The line "Open arms are never what they seem" suggests a sense of disillusionment with the idea of openness and acceptance, as if to suggest that the singer has been let down by people who claim to be accepting but aren't really. The message here is one of self-reliance and taking control of one's own pleasure.

You know, baby, when I was taking my pantyhose out of their egg this evening
When I was getting ready this evening, I had a thought.
I thought, I'm gonna find that man who's the right shade of bottle tan
I thought I would find a man with the perfect skin tone.
A man that smells like cocoa butter and cash, take me any way you like it
I want a man who smells good, take me in any way you want.
In front of the fireplace, in front of your yacht, in front of my parents
It doesn't matter where we are, just show me you want me.
I don't give a damn, baby, just take me
I don't care about anything else, just take me.
Any which way, any which way
In any way possible.
Better take me any which way you can
Do whatever it takes to have me.
Oh any which way you can
Any way you can.
