No One Loves Me & Neither Do I
Them Crooked Vultures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was picking a mag and dressed oblique
She called me baby, and was a mean lady with the song on the radio
So I told her I was rich, then she asked could I use a dirty bitch? (of course)
[Chorus]
Then she said, 'No one loves me' neither do I
You get what you give,
And if I should vanish
Don't get caught off guard
Don't hold it against me
Unless it gets hard
(Oh, oi, oo, oop! Aaawhhha, yea, aaawhhha, that's right)
Well if sex is a weapon, then smash, boom, pow,
How ya like me now?
You can't always do it right, you can always do whats left
So I told her I was trash, she winked and laughed and said I already know
I've got a beautiful place to put your face' and she was right,
[Chorus]
Cutting her loose, I'm ready to go
People in the world, your gonna lose control
Cut me a noose, I'm ready to go
People in the world, your gonna lose control
Cut me a noose, I'm ready to go
People in the world, your gonna lose control
Cut me a noose, I'm ready to go
People in the world, you're gonna lose
I know how to burn with passion
Hold nothing back for future ration
Give all you are, do not make haste
Savor every single taste
You get, cut
I know how to be controlled
Do what they said, son, watch your tongue
Quick to react, to break the box
Turn on queue, as your cell door locks
Behind you
I know how to be lost in lust
Not because you should, but because you must
It burns white hot, and so climbs the mile
This lightening strike isn't always kind
So use me up
Use me up
The lyrics of Them Crooked Vultures' song "No One Loves Me & Neither Do I" describe a dysfunctional relationship between two twisted individuals who seem to be playing each other's games. The singer meets the woman for the first time in a newsstand and is attracted to her despite her dress sense. She calls him "baby" and is listening to a song on the radio. He lies that he is rich, and she responds with the proposition, "could I use a dirty bitch?" The chorus asserts that nobody loves her, and she doesn't love anyone either. The singer tells her to give him everything, and he will not hold it against her unless things get tough.
The verses describe the sexual tension between the two characters. The lyrics suggest that sex is a weapon, and the woman knows how to use it. She tells the singer that she has "a beautiful place to put your face," indicating her power over him. Nonetheless, the singer is ready to walk away from the relationship, which appears to have gone wrong. He asserts his readiness to let go and move on. The lyrics remind the listener that the singer is a person who knows how to burn with passion, be controlled, and be "lost in lust" and ready to be used up.

Give all you are, do not make haste, savor every single taste

I know how to be controlled, do what they said, son, watch your tongue

Quick to react, to break the box, turn on queue, as your cell door locks, behind you
I am quick to rebel against restrictions and obey only when the situation requires it.
I know how to be lost in lust, not because you should, but because you must
I know how to indulge in sexual desire, not because it's right, but because I feel compelled.
It burns white hot, and so climbs the mile, this lightening strike isn't always kind
The passion can be intense and all-consuming, but the consequences can also be painful.
So use me up, use me up
Take all I have to give, use me until there's nothing left.
