The Three Pyramids Club
Suggs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sign says closed it depends who for
On the tables in the their brown suede shoes
While the band plays the rhythm of a mutant blues
Underground oasis blue lagoon
Dancing the slowly slow beneath a 40 watt moon
Can you do the slowly slow
When your head won't start and your legs won't go
While the band start blowing and turning up the heat
Feeling alright, feeling alright
Just another quiet Saturday night
Well in comes the guy with the metal head
Drinks are served and filled with dread
Up come the lady with the big pink hair
Buy him a drink and pull him up a chair
If you don't fit in you fit in here
Says the lady with the candy floss hair
The loudmouthed guy in the Turkish fez
No one listens to a word he says
Except the man with the metal head
Who stands up slowly eyes full of hatred
The end up rolling in the sand
Into the plastic palm trees around the band
The air is filled with flying chairs
And the screams of the lady with the big pink hair
The band plays on in a higher key
To get above the noise of the revelry
Feeling alright, feeling alright
Just another quiet Saturday night
If you don't fit in you fit in here
If you don't fit in you fit in here
If you don't fit in you fit in here
The song "The Three Pyramids Club" by Suggs presents a picture of an underground oasis where misfits of the society come together to dance and forget their worries. The three neon pyramids above the door are an indication of the club's character, and the sign that says "closed, it depends who for" adds a sense of exclusivity to the establishment. The patrons are seen dancing to the rhythm of a mutant blues, and despite the slow tempo, they are shuffling round on their brown suede feet, unable to resist the heat of the band.
The song paints a vivid picture of the clientele that frequents the club. The lady with the candy floss hair is one of them, and she assures everyone that if they don't fit in anywhere else, they fit in here. The guy with the metal head and the loud-mouthed guy in the Turkish fez form a part of the crowd, and they all seem to be having a good time until they start rolling in the sand, and the air fills with flying chairs and the screams of the lady with the big pink hair. Despite the chaos, the band plays on, escalating the tempo to get above the noise of the revelry. The song ends on a note of quiet satisfaction - just another quiet Saturday night.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the collective sense of alienation that people feel in society, and how they come together to find solace in places like the Three Pyramids Club.
