Beaujolais
Unveiling Contrasts: Beaujolais and Life's Divergence
Lyrics
She was a girl from the U.S.A
Describing a girl from the U.S.A.
Used to living life in luxury
She was accustomed to a luxurious lifestyle.
Now she's drinking beaujolais
Now she's drinking Beaujolais (wine).
And I dont like her anyway
Expressing dislike towards her, possibly due to a change in lifestyle.
Went and got a job workin for her dad
She got a job working for her dad, even though it wasn't necessary.
She didn't have to do it cause it weren't that bad
Contrasting the speaker's academic struggles with her privileged position.
I didn't pass maths, failed history well
Personal academic challenges - failed in math and history.
I got a job but you got a degree
Comparing the speaker's job to her academic achievements.
I feel there something coming over me
Sensing a change or transformation in the speaker.
I see your face on the T.V. screen
Seeing her face on a black and white TV screen.
No its not digital its black 'n' white
Clarifying that it's not a digital image but an analog one.
Ain't got no money in a nine to five
Lack of money in a conventional 9-to-5 job.
Money maker, she's a money maker
Describing her as a money maker.
If you could see her man you'd wanna waste her
Implying that seeing her might provoke negative reactions.
Money maker - fools paradise
Referring to her as a money maker in a deceptive paradise.
You can look but you won't look twice
Warning that looking at her won't be a casual glance.
I am a man with mystery
The speaker is a man with mystery, not just a product of society.
Not just a product of society
Asserting individuality and uniqueness.
I like my beer when its in the can
Expressing a preference for beer in a can.
And sneakers when they're sold out the back of a van
Liking sneakers bought from unconventional sources.
Waitin' for my week long holiday
Await a week-long holiday, possibly indicating a desire for leisure.
I used to go to Hull now its sunny Spain
Shift from going to Hull to now spending holidays in sunny Spain.
Look at me now in my dungarees - lol
Humorous reference to the speaker's attire (dungarees) and situation.
Cos i gotta job but you got a degree
Reiterating the comparison between the speaker's job and her degree.
Money maker, she's a money maker
Repeating the description of her as a money maker.
If you could see her man you'd wanna waste her
Reiterating the impact of seeing her, suggesting a negative reaction.
Money makers she's a money maker
Again describing her as a money maker.
If you could see her man you'd wanna waste her
Repeating the potential negative reaction to seeing her.
