Walk With Me
Twigg & Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes, and the meat I eat for dinner
Must be hung up for a week
My best friend, he shoots water rats
And feeds them to his geese
Don'cha think there's a place for you
In between the sheets?
We can build a home for three
Come on now, honey
Don't you want to live with me?
And there's a score of harebrained children
They're all locked in the nursery
They got earphone heads they got dirty necks
They're so 20th century
Well they queue up for the bathroom
'Round about 7:35
Don'cha think we need a woman's touch to make it come alive?
You'd look good pram pushing down the high street
Come on now, honey
Don't you want to live with me?
Whoa, the servants they're so helpful, dear
The cook she is a whore
Yes, the butler has a place for her
Behind the pantry door
The maid, she's French, she's got no sense
She's wild for Crazy Horse
And when she strips, the chauffeur flips
The footman's eyes get crossed
Don'cha think there's a place for us
Right across the street
Don'cha think there's a place for you
In between the sheets?
The lyrics of Twigg & Stone's song "Walk With Me" depict a rather unconventional and eccentric lifestyle, filled with peculiar habits and characters. The first verse talks about the singer's "nasty habits" and how they enjoy having tea in the afternoon. The mention of meat that needs to be hung up for a week suggests a preference for aged or cured meat. The singer's best friend engages in a strange activity of shooting water rats and feeding them to his geese, showcasing the peculiarities of their social circle. The line "Don'cha think there's a place for you in between the sheets?" hints at an invitation to explore a romantic or intimate connection.
The chorus introduces the idea of building a home for three, indicating a potential desire for a loving and unconventional relationship. It suggests that the singer wants the person they are addressing to join them on this journey. The second verse shifts focus to a group of children who seem detached from the modern world, with "earphone heads" and "dirty necks." The mention of queuing up for the bathroom highlights the chaos and lack of organization in their lives. The lyrics then suggest that a woman's touch is needed to bring life and order to their existence.
The third verse delves into the dynamics of the household staff. The servants are described as helpful but also engaged in illicit activities. The cook is referred to as a "whore," implying a relationship with the butler behind closed doors. The maid, who happens to be French, is depicted as wild for Crazy Horse, which could either be a person or a reference to the famous cabaret. The suggestive lines regarding the maid stripping and the subsequent reactions of the chauffeur and footman highlight the unconventional and sexually charged environment.
The final lines return to the invitation and express a desire for the person being addressed to join the singer. The suggestion of a place "right across the street" implies proximity and the idea of creating a shared life together. The repetition of the line "Don'cha think there's a place for you in between the sheets?" further emphasizes the invitation to intimacy and suggests that the singer envisions a deep connection that extends beyond the surface level.
Overall, the lyrics of "Walk With Me" paint a vivid picture of a peculiar lifestyle and invite the listener to contemplate the possibilities of love, intimacy, and unconventional relationships. The song symbolizes a yearning to escape societal norms and embrace a more unique and passionate existence.

Yes, and the meat I eat for dinner
And the meat I consume for dinner

Needs to be hung for a week to enhance its flavor
My best friend, he shoots water rats
My closest friend hunts water rats
And feeds them to his geese
And feeds those rats to his geese
Don'cha think there's a place for you
Don't you believe there's a place for you

Come on now, honey
Come on now, my dear

Don'cha think we need a woman's touch to make it come alive?
Don't you think we require a woman's influence to bring vibrancy?
You'd look good pram pushing down the high street
You would appear appealing pushing a baby carriage along the main street
Don'cha think there's a place for us
Don't you believe there's a place for both of us
Right across the street
Directly across the street
Whoa, the servants they're so helpful, dear
Oh, the servants are very accommodating, my dear
The cook she is a whore
The cook is promiscuous
Yes, the butler has a place for her
Yes, the butler has accommodations for the cook
Behind the pantry door
Behind the door of the pantry
The maid, she's French, she's got no sense
The maid, who is French, lacks common sense
She's wild for Crazy Horse
She has a strong attraction to Crazy Horse (possibly a reference to a person or establishment)
And when she strips, the chauffeur flips
And when she undresses, the chauffeur gets excited
The footman's eyes get crossed
The footman's eyes become crossed or confused
Don'cha think there's a place for you
Don't you believe there's a place for you
In between the sheets?
In the intimate space of a bed?
