BOY
The S.C.U.M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The homies lovin' too much for they own good
More than they should, check it
This one's for you Lover Boy
I had this one friend, lets call him Lover Boy
Had a heart beat louder than a drummer boy
Addicted to girls who had other boys
Lined up 'round the corner of former and other choices
Always one hunned with the lion of a
Kept it together like a motherboard
Never took no for an answer such a stubborn boy
What you go through all this trouble for
Implorin' love just to get ignored
Just so she could ride it like a hoverboard
Do your heart like a doggy do a rubber toy
Playin' games with it shuffleboard
Listen here Lover Boy
Lover Boy, Lover Boy
Cardiac muscle is one that you don't restore
The issues that you dealing with now aren't destined to change
That shit'll drive you deranged, love is strange Lover Boy
She love me, she love me not
Callin' it puppy love would be wrong
She love me
She love me, she love me not
Like that one George Strait country song
Check a box, babygirl tell me yes or no
Either way I be sending you X n O's
Love me
She love me, she love me not
Honestly I'm like-liking you a lot
The first time I saw love, she was ridin' RTD
Walked down the aisle, shot a smile and said pardon me
My heartbeat turned up a dial as I parked next to she
I held it down mentally, but started breathing heavily
We wasn't talking sexually, but are shoulders rubbing sensually together
Essentially, we was destined to be together
You know a Lover Boy would do anything to get her
More than a fling no love in the air weather
I said, Hello names JD imma fine fella
Who could it wetter than a mangera
No worries baby, I'll be taking care of you forever
She said, Whatever Lover Boy please
I know all you Lover Boys are the same, only want one thing
But by any means, don't expect anything
Maybe you could get with me, text with me, maybe even text with me
That don't necessarily mean wedding rings, nah
She love me, she love me not
Now I'm picking flowers leaf by leaf
She love me
She love me, she love me not
Heartbreak comin' beat by beat
Baby can't you see, if you the bird then I'm the bees
In other words your keystone species
She love me
She love me, she love me not
I guess she love me not
And the heart goes
Bum, buh dah dah dah dah
Bum, bum, buh dah tada dah dah
Aye, aye
Bum, buh dah dah dah dah
Bum, bum, buh dah tada dah dah
Bum, buh dah dah dah dah
Bum, bum, buh dah tada dah dah
Aye
Bum, buh dah dah dah dah
Bum, bum, buh dah tada dah dah
Don't force it homie don't force it
If the shoe fit like a thick chick in a small corset
Don't force it homie don't force it
Aight that's the end of the song
The S.C.U.M.'s "Boy" is a song that addresses the issue of unreciprocated love, as well as the concept of "Lover Boys." These are men who are addicted to pursuing and loving women who do not share their affection for them. The singer of the song, who refers to himself as JD, is a Lover Boy who is in love with a woman who does not feel the same way about him. Despite her disinterest, JD persists in his efforts to woo her.
The lyrics describe the Lover Boy's attempts to win his object of affection over, and the pain that comes with unrequited love. The line "cardiac muscle is one that you don't restore" suggests that the Lover Boy's heart may be irreparably damaged by his experiences, and that he will never be able to fully recover from them. The song also touches on the idea that love can make people do crazy things, with lines like "what you go through all this trouble for, implorin' love just to get ignored."
Line by Line Meaning
This track is dedicated, to all the Lover Boys out there
This song is for guys who love too much
The homies lovin' too much for they own good
Guys who love too much are doing themselves a disservice
More than they should, check it
They love more than they should
This one's for you Lover Boy
This song is specifically for guys who love too much
I had this one friend, lets call him Lover Boy
I had a friend who loved too much
Had a heart beat louder than a drummer boy
He was really passionate about love
Addicted to girls who had other boys
He was attracted to girls who were already taken
Lined up 'round the corner of former and other choices
He had a long list of exes and potential love interests
But a Lover Boy never gets discouraged
Guys who love too much never give up
Always one hunned with the lion of a
They are always true to themselves
Kept it together like a motherboard
They are good at controlling their emotions
Never took no for an answer such a stubborn boy
They are persistent even when rejected
What you go through all this trouble for
Why do you make so much effort for love?
Implorin' love just to get ignored
They beg for love, but are often ignored
Just so she could ride it like a hoverboard
They let themselves be used for sex
Do your heart like a doggy do a rubber toy
They give away their heart to anyone, like a dog playing with a toy
Playing' games with it shuffleboard
Love is just a game, and they are not in control
Listen here Lover Boy
Pay attention, guy who loves too much
Cardiac muscle is one that you don't restore
Heartbreak is difficult to recover from
The issues that you dealing with now aren't destined to change
Your love problems will likely persist
That shit'll drive you deranged, love is strange Lover Boy
Love can make you crazy
She love me, she love me not
Wondering if the girl he loves returns his feelings
Callin' it puppy love would be wrong
This is not just a childish crush
Like that one George Strait country song
It's like a country song about heartbreak
Check a box, babygirl tell me yes or no
He wants a clear answer from the girl he loves
Either way I be sending you X n O's
I'll still send you hugs and kisses
Honestly I'm like-liking you a lot
I really like you
The first time I saw love, she was ridin' RTD
He fell in love with a girl he saw on public transportation
Walked down the aisle, shot a smile and said pardon me
He introduced himself with a smile
My heartbeat turned up a dial as I parked next to she
He was nervous and excited to talk to her
I held it down mentally, but started breathing heavily
He kept his composure, but was still nervous
We wasn't talking sexually, but are shoulders rubbing sensually together
Even casual touching feels romantic to him
Essentially, we was destined to be together
He believes they are meant to be together
You know a Lover Boy would do anything to get her
Guys who love too much will stop at nothing to win their love interest
More than a fling no love in the air weather
He wants a serious relationship, not just a casual fling
I said, Hello names JD imma fine fella
He introduced himself and tried to impress her
Who could it wetter than a mangera
He is better than anyone else who is interested in her
No worries baby, I'll be taking care of you forever
He promises to take care of her forever
She said, Whatever Lover Boy please
She brushes him off
I know all you Lover Boys are the same, only want one thing
She thinks all guys who love too much just want sex
But by any means, don't expect anything
She's not interested in a relationship with him
Maybe you could get with me, text with me, maybe even text with me
At most, they could be casual texting buddies
That don't necessarily mean wedding rings, nah
It doesn't mean they will get married
Now I'm picking flowers leaf by leaf
He's trying to pick apart her feelings for him
Heartbreak comin' beat by beat
He knows heartbreak is coming
Baby can't you see, if you the bird then I'm the bees
He wants to be with her
In other words your keystone species
She is the most important thing to him
I guess she love me not
He realizes she doesn't love him
Don't force it homie don't force it
Don't try to make someone love you
If the shoe fit like a thick chick in a small corset
If it's meant to be, it will happen naturally
Aight that's the end of the song
The song is over

@nicky29031977
An interesting fact about this film is that there is no musical score , even during the credits, which only adds to the realism.
@nicky29031977
@Dennis Menace I didn't either until I watched the commentary on the DVD.
@zibbezabba2491
Same with 'Porridge' (from what I remember)
@paulbackhard6315
@Zibbe Zabba porridge the film had the song free inside by Joe Brown for the closing credits
@chrisryland202
Well done Nicky..
@CM-eg3gl
Interesting or plain fucking obvious?
@origamipig
An absolute classic, re-watching it now after 40 odd years. Still one of the most powerful films I’ve ever seen. Brutal, disturbing and deeply poignant. I was a young teenage girl when I first watched this , bit of a rebel like we all seemed to be in early eighties Britain. I’m pushing 60 now but still don’t like to be pushed around. Thanks so much for posting this.
@alienscientist8893
We are a great generation.. Old school..
@iansliman2613
I felt the same at the time...but after the same amount of time... well its still shocking. Powerful and funny...4737 Carlin Sir ....and I'm
the fuckin daddy now....!!!!!!!!!
@alanmctavish4802
Origamipig@ same here. Yes it is a powerfull film! I first saw it in 1983 i think and that was 39 years ago. Hard to believe its 39 years ago. How are boys who are men really at age 18 not meant to hit the screws back when there just bullying them all the time. Especialy boys that are 6ft and bigger. Back then in 1979 6ft was seen as really big then at age 18, and still is big today. As most of the screws wernt 6ft then! But a think they had to be at least 5ft9" but there was one or two that didnt even look 5ft9 in the film. I thought it was just as powerfull or maybe more powerfull than "a sense of freedom" about jimmy boyle and that was a great film. Why did they stop borstal? Seemingly it had a good success rate as 50% of boys didnt go back to jail again as it was that bad. Now its more like supported accomadation and alot of guys admit that its easier inside than it is to live outside now becouse the system as a whole is failing them. There is very little help if any at all once they step out that door, the welfare system makes it near impossible to help them get money to live on? They have to go into a hostel with lots of addicts and with no money to live on? They cant get to see any one? Its like coming out of jail and going into an open one really! So no wonder they start drinking again, what are they meant to do? Its like there not meant to go forward.
