Screwed Blued and Tattooed
The Bones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two wrongs don't make one right
One false get out of my sight
So come on, you're hotter that the sun
Dance around naked with your black boots on
Shaking those tits on the catwalk girl
So come on, you're hotter than the sun

You do what you do and I say what I want
Oh yeah shaking those tits and do your moves
You say what to do and I do what you want me to
You do what you do and I do as you say
Oh yeah shaking those tits and doing your moves
Oh yeah BABY!

Got screwed, blued and tattooed by you
But when I'm doing you it feels so good
Come on, you're hotter than the sun
I fuck this and I fuck that
But you, you even fucked me twice
So come on, you're hotter than the sun

You do what you do and I say what I want
Oh yeah shaking those tits and do your moves
You say what to do and I do what you want me to




You do what you do and I do as you say
Oh yeah shaking those tits and doing your moves

Overall Meaning

The Bones's song Screwed Blued and Tattooed is a high-energy rock song that details a tumultuous relationship. The opening lines emphasize that two wrongs don't make a right and that the singer wants the other person to get out of their sight. However, despite wanting distance, the singer can't help but acknowledge the other person's attractiveness, describing them as hotter than the sun. The use of the phrase "Dance around naked with your black boots on" highlights the raw, sexual nature of the relationship and sets the tone for the rest of the song.


The chorus repeats the idea that the relationship is passionate and intense, with the singer describing themselves as "screwed, blued, and tattooed" by the other person. Despite the roughness of the relationship, the singer admits that when they're with the other person, it feels good. The continued emphasis on the other person's physical attributes, particularly their breasts, shows that the relationship is predominantly sexual, with each partner being motivated by their desire for the other.


Overall, Screwed Blued and Tattooed is a raw, unapologetic rock song that celebrates the intensity of a passionate but tumultuous relationship.

@ingodererste

Boring discussions about music styles! There are only two things: Good music and bad music (and everyone has his own opinion and this is okay) but for me the Bones are really very good... absolutely amazing!!!

@SlayerCloud

Best Band Ever!

@schwermetall666

I don't really want to start another pointless Internet-argument, but you have to admit that this band is still far better than today's so-called mainstream-music.

@leeofender8185

Been listening to Bones for quite a while, later on I've heard Kickstart My Heart in Gran Turismo I think and I was like "where the hell did I hear that"...checked Bones, nothing by that title, checked Carburetors, nothing either, Chrome Division - no, Use To Abuse - neh, Turbo A.C's - no luck...took me good few weeks to find out it's actually this re-dressed.

@lbppaolowall
