Mary
Enigmatic Revelations: Supergrass's Mary Unveiled
Lyrics
I got a girl and her name is Mary
Expressing possession of a girl named Mary.
I like to shock her on a basis daily
Enjoying surprising or shocking Mary regularly.
I like to push you over into my stream
Metaphorically pushing Mary into the speaker's world or thoughts.
I like to point out that her teeth are green
Playfully pointing out a fictional detail, her teeth being green.
I tell you stories that you won't understand
Sharing stories with Mary that may be beyond her comprehension.
I'll have you eating from the palm of my hand
Expressing control over Mary, making her submissive.
I'm gonna push you further into my dream
Continuing to immerse Mary in the speaker's dreams or thoughts.
The back of every head hold something obscene
Suggesting hidden or inappropriate thoughts in people's minds.
Ah ay ya ya
Repetition for emphasis, possibly conveying excitement or intensity.
Ah ay ya ya
-I get the feeling you're not ordinary
Suggesting Mary is not an ordinary person.
I got a head like falling masonry
Describing the speaker's head as heavy or burdensome like falling masonry.
I'll cut your strings, ah yes, a puppet machine
Metaphorically indicating control over others like a puppeteer.
I watch you drop and fall apart at the seams
Observing someone breaking down or falling apart.
I meant to get you; let there be no doubt
Expressing intent to cause harm or disruption without ambiguity.
You want to try and get your teeth knocked out
Suggesting a willingness to engage in physical confrontation.
I'm gonna push you further into my dream
Continuing to involve Mary in the speaker's dreams or thoughts.
The back of every head holds something obscene
Reiterating the idea that everyone has hidden or inappropriate thoughts.
Ah ay ya ya
Repetition for emphasis, possibly conveying excitement or intensity.
Ah ay ya ya
-Ah ay ya ya
-Ah ay ya ya
-Ah ay ya ya
-Ay ya ya
