Slice Of Lime
The Reytons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Putting in the work on a site of the nine to five
And it's five to nine
Oh and it's Friday night
And his paychecks cashed
So he feels alright
And his boss has been a bastard
But there's no surprise
That he's straight out getting plastered
Covered in the plaster
And here comes the demon in disguise
Only one thing on her mind
She wants a vodka and tonic
Two cubes of ice
And a slice of lime
And it's no surprise
It's his round
It's his round again
And it's round
Coming round again
And she's round
Coming round again
Only one thing on her mind
Lippy Lauren's got her tits out
Running off her big mouth
She's the one you won't see giving up
And it's getting kinda awkward
Really think she's gorgeous
And no one else is giving her a second look
And he wears his heart rate on his sleeve
His mates all say he's so naive
And he's got that goal he must achieve
And he still believes
He still believes
And here comes the demon in disguise
Only one thing on her mind
She wants a vodka and tonic
Two cubes of ice
And a slice of lime
And it's no surprise
It's his round
It's his round again
And it's round
Coming round again
And she's round
Coming round again
Only one thing on her mind
And here comes the demon
Demon
And here comes the demon
Demon
Here comes the demon
Demon
Here comes the demon in disguise
And here comes the demon in disguise
Only one thing on her mind
She wants a vodka and tonic
Two cubes of ice
And a slice of lime
And it's no surprise
It's his round
It's his round again
And it's round
Coming round again
And she's round
Coming round again
Only one thing on her mind
Only one thing on her mind
A slice of lime
And it's no surprise
It's his round
The Reytons's song Slice of Lime is a narrative based on the story of Little Jimmy, a hardworking employee who finally gets off work on a Friday night and decides to go out for a drink after cashing his paycheck. Despite the stress he has been under from his demanding boss and the overtime he had to put in at work, he feels good about himself because his check has been cashed. At the bar, he meets Lippy Lauren, a woman who flaunts her sexuality openly and loudly. Jimmy is a young man who is working hard to achieve his goals but is too naive, and his friends have made him aware of this fact. However, the narrative disrupts when a 'demon in disguise' enters the bar. The demon is a woman with 'only one thing in her mind'; a vodka and tonic, two cubes of ice, and a slice of lime. She is cunning and preys on Little Jimmy, who is a little too generous when it is his turn to buy drinks.
On closer inspection, the lyrics suggest that the demon is a metaphor for a person or force that chips away at people's resolve to achieve their goals or make good decisions by tempting them with distractions. The demon might be figurative because the bar appears to have other patrons who are having a good time without someone trying to take advantage of them. It makes the demon's entry more conspicuous and what follows predictable. The song's chorus repeats throughout the narrative, emphasizing the influence of the demon's temptation, even when the consequences of giving in are apparent.
