kirbtastic
this has been one of my all time favorite songs since trainspotting came out...i decided to look up the lyrics today because ive been making up my own for the past few years...so can some one explain to me what the hell is going on here ... im absolutely lost.

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 innerspace boy
You had
hands girl boy
and steel boy
You had chemicals boy
I've grown so close to you
Boy and you just groan boy
She said comeover comeover
She smiled at you boy.

Drive boy dog boy

And tears boy
And all in your innerspace boy
You had

You had chemicals boy
I've grown so close to you
Boy and you just groan boy
She said comeover comeover
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
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

yeah underworld were just in sydney last wednesday and i went to see them and they went off !! when they played born slippy the crowd went crazy .... the only lyrics i knew were "Shoutin lager lager lager lager " and i was screaming it ... bit hard to remember the whole thing ...but wat an awesome track , its one of my all time favourites

i also love Two Months Off by underworld ...although i wish emerson was still there
obs
if you want lyrics that make sense, better to listen to "underneath the radar" : ).

Grammer overload!

Apparently the lyrics are real snippets from people's conversations. I remember an interview with Underworld where they were asked about these lyrics and they said they went down into some city (NYC I think...?) where they noted parts of peoples' conversations as they walked...

So, next time you're struttin' your stuff in a city, there might be some strange, deranged man following you with a notepad! :nervous:

Actually the Born Slippy lyrics were written by Karl from Underworld as he was stumbling home from a pub one night. He basically intended that the randomness of it would reflect the way your memory of a drinking session becomes completely fragmented. It was written more as a cry for help from an alcoholic than the beer anthem it has become...

Another interesting point - the title "Born Slippy" was taken from a greyhound form guide :D

Hmm.. I could have sworn I heard "white man nigga nigga" in it.. Must have been that "mega mega white thing" :happy2:

I love underworld lyrics, I got all the albums. I love their originality.


Best one has to be in 'little speaker' off the 1oo days off album. Its a women speaking about how she is small. my fav' bit goes 'But I do........I do feel like I'm still growing sometimes.........If I stand up really straight I'm like............ing hell I didnt used to be that tall........'

Pure class.

does anyone know the lyrics to Underworld - 2 Months Off ? would be great to no the actual lyrics instead of the ones i make up on the spot :haha:

Underworld are class. Everything they have done is great. Every album is a masterpiece.

The lyrics are brilliant. Random bollocks that doesnt sound out of place.
