She's Sad She Said
The Judybats Lyrics

Her beautiful arse
Her attractive buttocks

Cantilevering over a table of hors d'oeuvres
Hanging over a table of small savory appetizers

She took a sip of her drink and said, "Hey, this music really gets on my nerves."
After drinking a bit of her beverage, she expressed annoyance toward the music being played

I said, "What music?"
I asked her about the music that was bothering her

She said, "The music in my head
She clarified that it was a song that was stuck in her mind

Sometimes it makes me wish I were dead
This internal song causes her to feel so overwhelmed that death seems preferable at times

It's like a requiem
The melody has a mournful quality, as if it were a funeral song

It's like a rodeo
The music feels chaotic and wild, like a rodeo event

Can't you hear it?"
She asked if I was able to hear the song that she was imagining

I said, "No."
I replied that I could not hear the music that was troubling her

She said, "Like where is here
She began to question her current location and state of being

And, tell me, how will I know when I get there
She is uncertain of how to reach a certain destination or state of mind

I wear my little black dress, I'm just waiting around
She is dressed up and waiting for something to happen

Will I think to comb my hair?"
She wonders if she forgot to groom herself properly

I said, "Will it matter?"
I questioned whether her hairstyle really made a difference

She says, "Matter everywhere
She insists that it does matter, and that appearance is important in all aspects of life

No one here, they never play fair
She feels that people around her are dishonest and deceptive

I hope heaven is a place where sloe gin fizz comes in
She daydreams about an afterlife where she can have her favorite gin cocktail

Those little glasses, you know the ones
She is referring to a specific type of glassware for drinks

That are blue on the bottom and thin on the top?"
She describes the unique design of the glasses she desires

She said she said e said
The song repeats her words, emphasizing her frustration and sadness

She's sad, she said
She admits to feeling unhappy and upset

She said she said she said
Once again, her words are repeated

She's sad
The song acknowledges and reinforces her feelings of sorrow

She said she said she said
Her words are emphasized yet again

She's sad she said she's sad
Her sadness is reiterated in the lyrics

She said she said she said
The repetition of her words continues throughout the song

She said, "You know, the people here, all they wanna do
She expresses her frustration with the people around her

Is pick you apart; trouble is, they don't have time
She feels that others criticize her without trying to understand her

To put you back together again.
She longs for someone to help put her back together after feeling torn apart

I hate New York. I've thought about moving, to Italy
She dislikes her current location and has considered moving away

Or Spain or Hell, maybe even Tennessee."
She lists off potential new homes, both desirable and less so

All she said
The repetition of her words is the only thing left to say

Was she's sad she said
The central message of the song is that she is feeling sad and has expressed this sentiment multiple times

All she said
Continuing the repetition of her words

Was she's sad
The final line reinforces her sadness
