Move with Me
Seductive Whispers: Unveiling the Allure of Tim Buckley's 'Move with Me'
Lyrics
I went down to the meat rack tavern
I visited the meat rack tavern.
And found myself a big ol' healthy girl
I encountered a large and healthy woman.
Now she was drinkin' alone
She was drinking alone.
Aw what a waste of sin
Expressing disappointment at the wasted opportunity of sin.
So I went on over to sweet talk that girl
I approached the girl to sweet talk her.
Lord I moved on in
I advanced or made a move towards her.
Lord I whispered come on and move with me
Whispering an invitation for her to move with the speaker.
Move with me move with me move with me darlin'
Repetition of the invitation to move together.
Aw don't be shy
Encouraging her not to be shy.
I'm gonna mess witcha, mess witcha, mess witcha,
Expressing a playful intention to mess with her.
Mess witcha, mess witcha mind
Repetition of the intention to mess with her mind.
Well, I don't care if you tell me you're married
Indifference to her marital status, offering to be with her when her husband is not around.
Cause I can be your man when your husband ain't home
The speaker is willing to be her man when her husband is absent.
Now if he should walk in you just tell him I'm your houseboy
Suggesting a cover story for the husband if he walks in.
And that you just can't stand to sleep here alone...no more
Expressing a discomfort with sleeping alone.
I want to move with you, move with you, move with you,
Expressing a desire to move with her.
Move with you darlin'
Repetition of the desire to move with her.
I want to mess witcha mess witcha mess witcha
Repetition of the intention to mess with her.
Mess witcha mind
Repetition of the intention to mess with her mind.
Well now he finally walked in
Describing the husband's entrance into the scene.
And Lord that man filled up the doorway
Portraying the husband as a physically imposing figure.
Well he grabbed me by my throat
Describing a violent encounter where the husband grabs the speaker.
And he bounced me down the stairs
Detailing the speaker being thrown down the stairs by the husband.
And Lord I swear, he broke every bone in my body
Expressing the severity of the physical altercation, with bones being broken.
But it was worth every second that I was there
The speaker finds the experience worth the pain.
Cause she would whisper to me...
Describing the girl whispering to the speaker.
Move with me, move with me, move with me,
Repetition of the invitation to move together.
Move with me darlin'
Repetition of the desire to move with her.
I'm gonna mess witcha, mess witcha, mess witcha,
Repetition of the intention to mess with her.
Mess witcha mind
Repetition of the intention to mess with her mind.
Well now I
Ending the lyrics without completing the thought.
