The Moments Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some of them want fancy things
They hunger for the taste of glamour
And we rot and find some others' rings
Your sweethearts need their princes
Flattery and filthy pearls
Barbie, don't mess with the Marilyn kisses
But I'm not like those other types, baby
I'm your bloody creature poster girl
Make you crawl, make you beg, make you plead
(Bloody creature poster girl)
Make you want, make you hurt, make you bleed
(Bloody creature poster girl)
So toxic
Psychotic
Chaotic
Bloody creature poster girl
Make you laugh, make you cry, make you need every little slasher
Fuck the father's sweetheart, bloody creature poster girl
Baby, you can keep your diamonds
You can burn all your fancy things
I hunger for the taste of a painful week
That can survive my wicked sting
Darling I don't need no princes
I'm no damsel in distress
The only thing I'm needing is for you to be bleeding
From my homicidal kiss
You see, I'm not like those other girls, baby
I'm your bloody creature poster girl
Make you crawl, make you beg, make you plead
(Bloody creature poster girl)
Make you want, make you hurt, make you bleed
(Bloody creature poster girl)
So toxic
Psychotic
Chaotic
Bloody creature poster girl
Make you laugh, make you cry, make you need every little slasher
Fuck the father's sweetheart, bloody creature poster girl
Your dirty girl
Your bloody slasher girl
Your selfish sweetheart girl, girl
Your bloody creature poster girl
Bloody creature poster girl
Bloody creature poster girl
(I'm your poster girl)
Bloody creature poster girl
(Your toxic girl)
Bloody creature poster girl
(Your bloody slasher girl)
Bloody creature poster girl
It's obviously a girl, girl, girl, girl
Bloody creature poster girl
Make you crawl, make you beg, make you plead
(Bloody creature poster girl)
Make you want, make you hurt, make you bleed
(Bloody creature poster girl)
So toxic
Psychotic
Chaotic
Bloody creature poster girl
Make you laugh, make you cry, make you need every little slasher
Fuck the father's sweetheart, bloody creature poster girl
Your dirty girl
Your bloody slasher girl
Your selfish sweetheart girl, girl
Your bloody creature poster girl
Bloody creature poster girl
Bloody creature poster girl
Bloody creature poster girl
The Moments's song "Girls" speaks about contrasting types of girls - the ones who crave luxury and sophistication while the others are more primal and vicious. The song begins with the description of girls who like diamonds and fancy things and are impressed by condescension and wealth. They are Barbie dolls who want to copy the charm of Marilyn Monroe and be materialistic like her. On the other hand, the singer is a "bloody creature poster girl" who is harsh and domineering, not the conventional choice for any man. She does not need dresses, pearls, or flattery, but rather wants to create a painful week where the partner bleeds from her "homicidal kiss."
The lyrics of the song highlight the girl's preference, each being different from the other, one craving for the richness, while the other has an insatiable desire for brutality. The lyrics suggest the singer is not like other girls, and partners with her at their risk. Her nature is intense, violent, and somewhat daunting, suggesting that she may not be for everyone.

I just love the atmosphere that this music brings back from an era when I was the happiest in my life. I'm now 62years old I could cry how this makes me feel
@HarryFlowerrs
You know what used to make me cry?
The fact that people hate The Moments and would gladly stomp on their heads and kill them purely and simply because they have a different colour skin!
Lynched,castrated,pulled apart by horses,all manner barbaric shit at the hands of the so called ‘Master Race’!
Over 400 years of persecution yet We produced sheer genius under extreme circumstances!
I’ll await the Clowns........🤡🤡🤡
@longboardwoddy
