I´m 1 year old and plan to become a musician when I grow thanks to this song... That´s why I drink my milk everyday, to be strong enough and have a good voice...
it's neither funny, nor about (sexual) masochism, nor about any aspect of gay culture. it's a tragically comic (which is the precise opposite of 'comically tragic') encapsulation of the devotion of abused spouses to their abusers. that it's about abuse and not about healthy S&M is indicated by lines like "burn my house to the ground" and "beat me till I die," which are obviously not standard sadomasochist fare. the absurdity makes the circumstance portrayed all the more sad and grotesque.
Another 15 year old here that adores the dark cabaret style of music. I love tiger lillies and voltaire the most yet i do admire others such as humanwine, vermillion lies, dresden dolls, amanda palmer in solo, etc. The small existence of such grace and touching harmony is what fuels us people that actually cares about pure art. May the legacy continue....._Courtney_
I seriously laugh at the lyrics of nearly every song these guys do. They're really a great band. It's so sad that they're underrated and shitty acts *coughBiebercough* get all the spotlight.
Damn, it's kinda weird for a 15 year old like me to like this but hey, I do. :D
@foojuice101 Good music is ageless, raceless, creedless. It speaks to all people who can appreciate it, regardless of their physical appearance. Liking the band isn't weird for any age- it just indicates good taste. ;-) (Speaking as a sixteen-year-old, at any rate, so I might have a slightly biased opinion. But still!)
I think this song is an ode to gay S&M. I don't think its sad at all. I think its pretty funny.
The singer is saying 'beat me till I'm black and blue" and "I'll still love you." I don't know about your relationships but that's pretty sick;. I think its meant to be funny.
theyre awesome i wonder why they didnt get that much successfulll in music scene its just sad how people listen to cheap songs it really hurts them u know:(
@zinkiem hey i am 13 and i love this song and i love the tiger lillies , my friends have never herd of them i think there looonys for not even hereing of them!!!! king_doom@hotmail.co.uk

This would have been perfect in a David Lynch film. Too bad it looks like he's done.

God damn, the deeper I look into the Punk/Dark Cabaret genre, the more amazing music I find. This band's mere existence is an inspiration...
Also, I'm yet another 16 year old who actually likes Good music...imagine that.

beat me till I'm black and blue" and "I'll still love you." when he said id still love you?
It is more like a woman/man beaten by his spouse but he stills loves him, otherwise i don't know.
