Hot Chip: "Wrestlers"




hit in the face

still on the floor
why did you have to do it?

...

It's me versus you alone
It's me versus you alone
It's me versus you alone
It's me versus you alone
It's me versus you alone

We'll tag team, double up

Hit you in the sweet spot
And make you wish you'd coughed up

The gloves are off

The gloves are off
It's me, [Incomprehensible] messing round
Taking us a man down

While you've got us on the ropes

We've planned to play the mess around
He's technically trained
You've got him buckled up and he will misbehave

You weigh bigger than a train

But I've got the power and the glory
In my dirty brains

The gloves are off

The gloves are off
So why'd you go and have to fight dirty?
Don't fight dirty, don't hit me with the chair

The gloves are off

So why'd you go and have to fight dirty?
Don't fight dirty, don't bite me in the face
The gloves are off

Now what you gonna do when I come for you

With all that I've got?
I've got a roll of coins, I'm aiming for your loins
And I will never stop

I learned all I know from watching the wrestling

I think you think I'm about to throw the towel in

Here comes Floor Jack

Watch your back, watch your back
He'll charm you with a double-axe
And then he brings the tie attacks
He's not dressed for a cage
He's robed in garments strictly for another age

Here we come, drop kick

Half nelson, full nelson
Willie Nelson, Willie Nelson

Body slam, suplex, headlock, summer-slam, elbow drop

Jelly-flop, cage match, grudge match, snamsno, snamsniey
Alfieley, alscgoboi, nelsonmas allday, skeluas

It's me versus me, versus me, versus me

Versus me, versus me, versus me, versus me, versus me
I learned all I know from watching the wrestling
I think you think I'm about to throw the towel in
Everyone knows Monday night means wrestling

...

i used to listen to this
on repeat, all the time.
i think i listened to it differently
though, until last week...

now, the hit me with the chair
bite me in the face business,
is the part that rings in my ears.
the fight dirty part.

otherwise, it's sort of catchy
and sweet... it's a multi-tasking
type of song.

today, it hurts, too much
and i don't even want to hear it.
but i'll leave it here for you*
who cannot be named.

*everyone gets names, you don't
you'll just be like he-who-must-not-be-named
for now, and then you'll be gone.

check out hot chip's website for more
and spend your money
because it'll sound better once it's yours
than this single will from me
