Born Slippy
Underworld (Titts Remix) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drive boy, dog boy, dirty numb angel boy
In the doorway boy
She was a lipstick boy
She was a beautiful boy
And tears boy and all in your inner space boy
You had hand girls boy and steel boy
You had chemicals boy, I've grown so close to you
Boy and you just grown boy
She said come over, come over
She smiled at you, boy

Drive boy, dog boy, dirty numb angel boy
In the doorway boy
She was a lipstick boy
She was a beautiful boy
And tears boy and all in your inner space boy
You had hand girls boy and steel boy
You had chemicals boy, I've grown so close to you
Boy and you just grown boy
She said come over, come over
She smiled at you, boy

Let your feelings slip boy
But never your mask boy
Random blonde bio high density rhythm
Blonde boy, blonde country, blonde high density
You are my drug boy, you're real boy
Speak to me and boy dog, dirty numb cracking boy
You get wet boy, big big time boy, acid bear boy
Babes and babes and babes and babes and babes
And remembering nothing boy
You like my tin horn boy and get wet like an angel
Derail

You got a velvet mouth
You're so succulent and beautiful
Shimmering and dirty wonderful and hot times
On your telephone line and God and everything
On your telephone and in walk an angel

And look at me
Your mom squatting pissed in a tube-hole at Tottenham Court Road
I just come out of the ship
Talking to the most blonde I ever met
Shouting, lager, lager, lager, lager
Shouting, lager, lager, lager, lager
Shouting, lager, lager, lager, lager
Shouting, lager, lager, lager
Shouting, mega, mega, white thing
Mega, mega, white thing
Mega, mega, white thing
Mega, mega
Shouting, lager, lager, lager, lager
Mega, mega, white thing
Mega, mega, white thing
So many things to see and do in the tube hole true
Blonde going back to Romford
Mega, mega, mega, going back to Romford
Hi mom are you having fun




And now are you on your way
To a new tension headache

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Underworld (Titts Remix)’s song Born Slippy depict a chaotic scene of drugs, sex, and partying. The song presents a character who is lost in a world full of numbness and artificial connections. The character is referred to as “dirty numb angel boy” and is surrounded by friends who are also detached from reality, living in a world of chemicals and steel. They all seek out temporary pleasures, but the emptiness still lingers within them. The character is approached by a beautiful girl who invites him over and smiles at him. There is a sense of connection, but at the same time, it feels superficial.


The lyrics then become even more disorienting, as the character lets his feelings slip but never his mask. He is surrounded by people, but he remembers nothing. He is drawn to the blonde girl and struggles with his addiction to her. The song then shifts to a conversation with someone who is recalling their experience of coming out of the ship and shouting “lager, lager, lager” and “mega, mega, white thing” while seeing people going back to Romford. The song ends with an unclear conversation, asking whether his mother is having fun and if she is on her way to a new tension headache.


Overall, the lyrics of Born Slippy present a nihilistic outlook on life, describing a world devoid of real connections where people turn to drugs and temporary pleasures as a way to escape their inner emptiness.

God, that opening 30 seconds is like a time warp back to the 90's... If you lived through that time, you can listen to those 30 seconds and remember where you were that beautiful summer, when nothing mattered, and everyday lasted forever and blended into the next..... what a time that was.

@theshiftybloke4672
