Kids
Williams Robbie And Minouge Kylie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me no bubblicious
Me smoke heavy tar
Me be groovin' slowly where you are
Notify your next of kin
'Cause you're never coming back
I've been dropping beats since Back in Black

And we'll paint by numbers
'Til something sticks
Don't mind doing it for the kids
(So come on) jump on board
Take a ride (yeah)
(You'll be doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high
'Cause the kids are alright

You've got a reputation
Well I guess that can be explored
You're dancing with the chairman of the board
Take a ride on my twelve cylinder symphony
But if you got other plans
The purpose of a woman is to love her man

And we'll paint by numbers
'Til something sticks
Don't mind doing it for the kids
(So come on) jump on board
Take a ride (yeah)
(Doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high
'Cause the kids are alright

I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love
I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love
I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love
I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love

Come down from the ceiling
I didn't mean to get so high
I couldn't do what I wanted to do
When my lips were dry
You can't just up and leave me
I'm a singer in a band
Well I like drummers baby
You're not my bag

Jump on board
Take a ride, yeah
(You'll be doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high, yeah

Jump on board
Take a ride, yeah
(You'll be doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high, yeah

I'm an honorary Sean Connery, born '74
There's only one of me
Single-handedly raising the economy
Ain't no chance of the record company dropping me
Press be asking do I care for sodomy
I don't know, yeah, probably
I've been looking for serial monogamy
Not some bird that looks like Billy Connolly




But for now I'm down for ornithology
Grab your binoculars, come follow me

Overall Meaning

The song "Kids" by Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue is an upbeat and catchy pop tune that celebrates youth and freedom. The lyrics paint a picture of a carefree lifestyle, with the singers singing about smoking, dancing, and having fun without any worries or commitments. The chorus repeats the phrase "jump on board" several times, urging listeners to join in the festivities and feel the high of being alive. The verses touch upon themes of reputation, love, and ambition, but the overall message of the song is one of joy and spontaneity.


The opening lines of the song set the scene for the rest of the lyrics, with Robbie Williams proclaiming "me no bubblicious, me smoke heavy tar, me be groovin' slowly where you are." These lyrics suggest that the singer is not interested in superficial pleasures or conforming to a certain image, but rather enjoys simple pleasures like smoking and taking things slow. The next line, "notify your next of kin 'cause you're never coming back," is a tongue-in-cheek way of saying that the exhilarating lifestyle depicted in the song is not for everyone, and those who choose to join in may end up never wanting to go back to their old ways.


The chorus of the song is perhaps the most memorable part, with the repeated phrase "jump on board" reflecting the carefree and inclusive atmosphere of the song. The lyrics also suggest a playful competitiveness, with the singers singing "we'll paint by numbers 'til something sticks" as a way of saying they are willing to experiment and try different things in order to find what works. Overall, the song is a celebration of youth, energy, and the power of music to bring people together.

GTA has literally been introducing me to sick fuckin music for 20 years

@Lilnate0864

Agreed

@daha3074

I remember playing GTA as a kid you know the 2D version and GTA has really evolved. San Andreas was my favorite.

@Sapov

Best music teacher

@thestoicjosh

F'yeah.

@troykapix5077

In which GTA was this song, I had no clue it was in any of it. Speaking of GTA too bad they censored and removed so many and don't want to release any old originals so they don't get backlashes from idiots of today because those would be labeled as ofensive in many ways.
