Ain't Got No Home
The Vindictives Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain't got no home
No place to roam
I ain't got a home
No place to roam
I'm a lonely boy
I ain't got a home

I got a voice
And I love to sing
I can sing like a bird
And I can sing like a frog
I'm a lonely boy
I ain't got a home

Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

I ain't got a man
I ain't got a son
I ain't got a daughter
I ain't got no one
I'm a lonely frog
I ain't got a home

Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

I ain't got no money
I ain't got a holder
I ain't got no sister
Not even a brother
I'm a lonely fuck
I ain't got a home

What you sayin' to me,
What you sayin' to me
What you sayin' to me
What you sayin' to me,
I'm a lonely fuck,
Ain't got a home.





Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

Overall Meaning

The Vindictives's song "Ain't Got No Home" is a song that expresses the loneliness and desperation of someone who has lost everything they had, including a home. The repetition of "I ain't got a home" in each stanza emphasizes the feeling of hopelessness and isolation that the singer is experiencing. The use of the word "lonely" throughout the song also reinforces this theme.


The second stanza, where the singer talks about their ability to sing, adds a layer of complexity to the song. It suggests that while the singer might have a talent, it doesn't offer much solace when they don't have a place to call home. The use of animal imagery, "I can sing like a bird, and I can sing like a frog," creates a sense of whimsy and adds an element of humor to the song, which is in contrast to the overall somber tone.


The last stanza is particularly striking because it shows that the singer has lost everything, including family and friends. The use of profanity in the line "I'm a lonely fuck" adds a sense of rawness and authenticity to the song. The wind sound that follows in the repeated "Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo" creates a sense of melancholy that lingers and adds to the overall emotion of the song.
