Lyrics
We plough the fields together
We work together in the fields
In all types of intemperance
Engaging in various forms of excess or lack of moderation
Our bones cracked in unison
Our bones break in harmony
Gentlemen's, gentlemen's agreement
Referring to an agreement among gentlemen
You know what he is
Referring to someone's true nature
And probably still is
Suggesting that the person's true nature persists
Sticking his colours
Remaining loyal to his beliefs or affiliations
To whatever new mast there is
Regardless of the changing circumstances
But our agreement is over
Declaring the end of the agreement
I thought we had some kind of agreement
Expressing belief in a prior understanding
But with you it was just prurience
Suggesting the understanding was merely curiosity with no depth
You're addicted to excitement
Accusing the person of being addicted to excitement
My energies are down now with yours
Declaring a decrease in personal energy due to association
And you're sitting on my back fence
Metaphorically, someone intruding or causing a burden
But I thought we had an agreement
Reiterating the belief in a gentlemen's agreement
Gentlemen's, gentlemen's agreement
Repeating the concept of a gentlemen's agreement
Your brain is software
Comparing the brain to software
Your brain is Game Boy
Further likening the brain to a Game Boy (a handheld gaming device)
It's filled with excretement
Criticizing the content of the person's mind
And your short-term memory
Pointing out the fleeting nature of short-term memory
Will fleetingly remember
Recalling the gentlemen's agreement momentarily
Our gentlemen's, gentlemen's agreement
Reinforcing the existence of the gentlemen's agreement
Gentlemen's, gentlemen's agreement
Repeating the phrase "Gentlemen's, gentlemen's agreement"
Gentlemen's, gentlemen's agreement
