Lyrics
I was never good at housework
I lack proficiency in household chores.
Only known for pushing dirt around
My reputation involves merely moving dirt around.
But you always hit me for my dirty work
You criticize me for my questionable tasks.
But I'm no hitman
I'm not an assassin.
No, I'm no hitman
Repeated statement emphasizing I'm not an assassin.
I'm much more a fan than AC
I'm more inclined towards being a fan (perhaps of something) than functioning like an AC.
Only known for pushing air around
Similar to line 2, known for circulating air rather than achievements.
Suck on stale oxygen, a cheek stuck to the glass
Describes a suffocating situation, hoping for help.
And hope for a hitman
Seeking someone to solve problems aggressively (metaphorically).
Hope for a hitman
Repeated desire for someone to solve problems aggressively.
To take us out on the town
Wishing for someone to take out for enjoyment.
And take us down
Desiring a downfall or surrender.
I was never in the garden
I'm not involved in gardening activities.
Still I could be found lying in the dirt
Despite not gardening, I'm found lying in the dirt.
But you never found it courteous
You didn't consider it polite to seek help for problems.
To call on a hitman
You refused to ask for aggressive problem-solving help.
To call on a hitman
Repeated refusal to seek aggressive help.
You're much more a drunk
Your tendencies lean more towards being intoxicated.
Than you're not
Emphasizing the prevalence of your inebriation.
With only knowledge of which fruits to pick
You only know about selecting certain fruits.
And now you're sucking lemons at the door
Now you're facing difficulties, feeling stuck and sour.
Stuck for ideas for crimes
Struggling for ideas to commit offenses.
No hope for a hitman
Despairing, no expectation of getting aggressive help.
No hope for a hitman
Repeated lack of hope for aggressive help.
To take us out on the town
Desiring to be taken out for enjoyment.
To take our pennies and pounds
Wishing to lose money and be defeated.
And take us down
Desiring downfall or surrender.
You are saviour Jones
Describing someone as a savior figure.
My wallet and my brains are blown out
Metaphorically, feeling financially and intellectually drained.
In the streets
Chaos in the streets and personal life.
And in my ending there is home
Finding comfort or belonging in this chaotic situation.
So take us out on the town
Desiring to be taken out for enjoyment (repeated).
Take all our pennies and our pounds
Willingness to lose money and face defeat (repeated).
Take us out on the town
Repeated desire for downfall or surrender.
And take us down
Desiring to be taken out for enjoyment and face defeat (repeated).
