Saints
The breeders퉥 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like all the different people
I like sticky everywhere
Look around, you bet I'll be there!
Hot metal in the sun
Pony in the air
Sooey and saints at the fair

Saints alive you're saying
Walk in ... squares
The hid are out, out for the year
It's a lot of face
A lot of crank air
Eroding around here

Summer's ready
Summer is ready when you are

I like all the different people
I like every kind of fair
In the crowd, you bet I'll be there!
Walkin' around
Going nowhere
Seeing Sooey and saints at the fair

Summer is ready when you are
Summer is ready when you are
Summer's ready
Summer is ready when you are
Summer's ready
Summer is ready when you are

It's a lot of face, crank air





Summer's ready
Summer is ready when you are

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Breeders' song "Saints" seem to be about enjoying being a part of a diverse group of people at a fair or carnival during the summer. The singer expresses their appreciation for all kinds of people, and how they like being surrounded by them. They describe the hot metal and the excitement of seeing a pony in the air, possibly referring to a ride or attraction at the carnival. The words "Sooey and saints at the fair" suggest that the singer is observing people having fun and maybe even taking part in the festivities themselves.


The chorus of the song, "Summer's ready when you are," is a mantra that reinforces the idea of letting go of inhibitions and embracing the spontaneity of summertime. The lines "The hid are out, out for the year / It's a lot of face / A lot of crank air / Eroding around here" could be interpreted as a criticism of people who only come out during the summer but disappear the rest of the year or the commercialization of the fair.


Overall, the song seems to be about celebrating the coming of summer and the sense of freedom that it brings. The singer finds joy in being around all sorts of people and experiencing the excitement and energy of a fair.

Saints have a lot of talented receivers and running backs! I expect them to go crazy and score about 9-10 points!

@michaelstcyr1075

As a Jags fan, this has the feeling of the Bills v Jags game from a couple of years ago. A defensive battle with no touchdowns and only field goals. I take my Jags 15-9.

@Supastackman

Travis will go off in this game and they need to give D‘Earnest Johnson Tank carries because Tank has done nothing.

@ArthurLarry

@@Supastackman go off against that rush defense ? idk .

@worldwide_basketball_fan

@@Supastackman probably not going off, but won't need to go off to win this game
