Nothing Too Much Just Out of Sight
The Fireman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just out of sight
You say you love me
If this is true
The best thing to do
Is to lye down beside me
I said I love you
Well nothing too much
Oh don't you want to be fair?
When you went away
In the twilight
It was alright
It was alright
Alright
I love you
I said I love you
I thought you knew
The last thing to do was
To try to betray me
The new morning light
I'll never forget it
Nothing much just out of sight
Twilight
Out of my sight
I was more than upset
Nothing too much
Alright
I can remember
Your beautiful hair
I can remember
Why can't you take me there?
Don't you try betray me?
Oh wanna betray me?
I was ready to test
I was ready to test with the whites of your ribs
It was alright
Alright
Not nothing too much
Just out of sight
Well nothing too much
Just out of sight
Out of my sight
Beautiful hair
I was really upset
In the moonlight
In the twilight
Of the last night
It was alright
Alright
Alright
Well nothing too much
It's alright
Just out of sight
The last thing to do was to try to betray me
The lyrics to "Nothing Too Much Just Out Of Sight" by The Fireman tell a story about a tumultuous relationship. The song opens with the lines "Nothing too much, just out of sight. You say you love me, if this is true, the best thing to do is to lie down beside me." The singer seems to be expressing frustration with their partner who is not giving them enough attention or affection. The chorus, "Well nothing too much, just out of sight," seems to mean that the singer is not asking for anything extreme or unreasonable, but they still feel neglected.
The song takes a darker turn in the second half when the singer accuses their partner of trying to betray them. They sing, "I said I love you, I thought you knew, the last thing to do was to try to betray me." The imagery in the following lines, "I was ready to test with the whites of your ribs," is violent and disturbing. The song ends on a somewhat ambiguous note with the final lines, "Well nothing too much, it's alright, just out of sight. The last thing to do was to try to betray me." It's unclear if the singer has forgiven their partner or if the relationship is over.

Nothing too much
I don't want too much from you, just something simple
Just out of sight
I want us to keep our love private and away from other people's eyes
You say you love me
You have professed your love for me
If this is true
If what you say is sincere
The best thing to do
What we should do now
Is to lye down beside me
Is to spend physical time with each other
I said I love you
I have told you that I love you
Oh don't you want to be fair?
Don't you want to be honest with me?
When you went away
After you left me
In the twilight
During the evening hours
It was alright
I was okay with it
I thought you knew
I assumed you already knew or understood
The last thing to do was
The worst or most inappropriate action would be
To try to betray me

The new morning light
The beginning of a new day

Twilight
The time of day when the sun has set but it is still light out
Out of my sight
Away from where I can see it
I was more than upset
I was extremely angry or sad
I can remember
I can recall
Your beautiful hair
I remember how attractive your hair was
Why can't you take me there?
I wish you would allow me to be closer to you and your feelings
Don't you try betray me?
Are you attempting to deceive or hurt me?
Oh wanna betray me?
Are you really considering betraying me?
I was ready to test
I was prepared to take a significant risk
I was ready to test with the whites of your ribs
I was willing to go to great lengths and fully commit myself to our relationship
It's alright
It's okay

@drbassface
Wow! How does he still sound so good after all these years? With his Helter Skelter Voice?
@carriekelly5093
it's a collaborative with fireman whoever that is and youth. it has a 70s jam session sound. not Pauls work altogether ....
@donaldkennedy9573
@carrie kelly The Fireman are Paul and Youth.
@62rosangeladoro
PAUL McCARTNEY IS SIMPLY THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!! HUGS, ROSANGELA D'ORO
@julio_scissors
People call him the "cute one" the "lighweight one" and make fun of his "granny music" and "little ditties".
But then he comes out with this and shows that he can knock you out with one punch whenever he wants to. This song makes me want to go out and divorce my ex again lol.
@michaelmoraga2926
Lest we forget "Helter Skelter"... This track is one of my McCartney favorites
@thenowuk
I was blown away when this came out-what a vocal, what passion....raw
heavy blues....hadn't heard Macca this unleashed since the white album.
Almost Captain Beefheart-esque
@georgedoty-williams2085
Monkberry Moon Delight in "Ram" has a pretty outstanding rough vocals too
@carriekelly5093
is that his vocal? not the fireman or youth,? it has 70s jam session sound.
@carriekelly5093
def. has 70s rock jam session sound...
