Soul Sister
The Super Insurgent Group of Intemperance Talent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Around her midnight chase
With her high heel shoe
And her pale bold make up face
Soul sister working late, making money, have some fun, yeah
She's like a walking time bomb blues
In this sin city, yeah
I don't know what to do
When she's sitting there alone with you
I don't know what is she
Is she he or is she she
Soul sister feeling lonely playing hard
With her own gun, yeah
She could run from the pigs barrier
Yet still around, yeah
Soul sister fell in love in your white BMW, yea-yea-yeah!
I know you like her too
But do you know she's so untrue?
Don't know what to do
'Cos she's really in love with you
Don't know what to do
Hide her big bollock from you!
Lalalala lalala lalala lalalala

She wears high heels and bold makeup, and seems to revel in the chaos of the "sin city" she inhabits. The chorus reflects the band's confusion about the soul sister's true identity, with the singer asking if she is "he or is she she". The second verse describes the soul sister as a "walking time bomb blues", someone who is always on the edge and ready to explode. She is portrayed as a strong and independent woman, who works hard and has fun on her own terms. The third verse takes a more romantic turn, as the soul sister falls in love with someone in a white BMW. However, the singer warns that she is "so untrue", suggesting that her intentions may not be pure.
