Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But don't blame me they ain't my chords
This is Bob's song
Not Bob from the NOFX song
Not Mr wibblegibberwibblegibberwibble Bob Dobalina
Not Fat Bob from Hardskin
No it's, brah Bob from Durban
And a, little bit Dolly Parton
Ice cream and maggots
5.5 and cigarettes
He said fuck the IRS'
And made off for the station
Waving goodbye
He said ungiya bonga, saoul borna
He said do you trust me?
Well that's your decision
If I say I'm telling the truth
I might be a liar
Say I'm a liar
It might be the truth
He said it was a, little bit Sunday school
And a, little bit Dolly Parton
Ice cream and maggots
5.5 and cigarettes
He said fuck the IRS'
And made off for the station
Waving goodbye
Well we know that we'll be seeing Bob again
So it ain't goodbye it's auf wiedersehen
We'll easy recognise the smile, maybe not the name
A mad roller coaster of a weird old day
A matter of hours and he was on his way
Freedom ain't going for a song
But a tenner might get the fat fryer on
Where's Bob?
Face to the picture but the name don't fit?
Hands off!
This is Bob's song
The song "Bob" by Snuff is an ode to a man named Bob who seems to be a colorful character based on the descriptions provided in the lyrics. The song opens with the singer acknowledging that the opening riff may sound familiar but reassuring the listener that they are not using someone else's chords. The song is about Bob from Durban, who is not to be confused with other Bobs from different songs or bands.
Bob is described as someone who combines Sunday school with Dolly Parton, ice creamand maggots, 5.5 and cigarettes, and someone who says "fuck the IRS." He is carefree and makes an exit in a flash, waving goodbye as he goes. Bob is also described as someone who speaks in riddles, asking if the listener trusts him before saying that he might be a liar, and lying might actually be telling the truth. The singer suggests that Bob will be seen again and provides lines that indicate Bob may be hard to forget even though people won't remember his name but will remember his smile. The song ends with a warning to leave Bob's song alone.
The lyrics in "Bob" speak to the mystique of individuals who are free-spirited and challenge norms. It talks about the perception of truth and how it is often in the eye of the beholder. Throughout the song, there are themes of individualism and independence, both of which are characteristics that Bob embodies. The songwriters' ability to tell a story through the lyrics is commendable.
