Hoochie Coochie Lyrics

Whose arms do you go into?
Whose arms do you go into?
Whose arms?
What time are you hanging around?
Your face is all over the place

Good grief, by the skin of your teeth
You should've looked a little hotter last week
Trust you to be tripping out
Trust you to be tripping out
Trust you, trust you, trust you

Hoochie Coochie
Hoochie coochie

What game are you playing now?
What game are you playing now?
What game?
Whose car are you riding in?
I doubt you'll even gonna begin to feel

Hot damn, going off for the race
Click clock and then you got him in back so good
Trust you to be tripping out
Trust you to be tripping out
Trust you, trust you, trust you

Hoochie coochie
Hoochie coochie

You look like a Picasso
Black lashes, drinking like it's water
Kinda like it when you dance oh
Come on, baby, when are you gonna call it a night?

Hoochie coochie

Hoochie Coochie

Bass player and co-vocalist Emma Richardson explained the background to the song to Tonedeaf : "This one was kind of like a description of all the nights out you've ever had, good and bad, " she said, "and it feels like it's all summed up in two and a half minutes with this kinda big riff and a kind of unusual chorus for us with a bit of delay and effect on the vocals which is great fun to play live as well.''

Nightmares Lyrics

I was afraid of coming undone
Being a burden, being a son
I was afraid of the look in my eye
The tears on your face in the desolate night

'Cause when you're afraid of everything
Everything is a start for Nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares, nightmares
Oh, oh, oh, oh

If I die tomorrow, would you be upset?
Or would be the one coming to get me?
Fallin' by the wind side of the never changing
So tell me it's alright

If you can reason, if you can stay
To put all the faith in the palm of my hand
I will protect you, I will defend
It never gets you ever again

'Cause when you're afraid of everything
Everything is a start for nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares, nightmares
Oh, oh, oh, oh

If I die tomorrow, would you be upset?
Or would be the one coming to get me?
Fallin' by the wind side of the never changing
So tell me it's alright

Maybe I'm just dreaming
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe I was right
'Cause I can't imagine distances in our faiths
Is there any?

Nightmares, nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares
Oh oh oh oh

Nightmares

Guitarist and co-vocalist Russell Marsden came up with this song. Bassist Emma Richardson explained to Tonedeaf : "He had this idea about having a fear of everything, you know, which seems kind of an apt topic for culture today and anxiousness in general with people being anxious about the state of the world and what's happening."

"It's got a different atmosphere to a lot of the songs we've written before," she added, "we were writing it and rehearsing it and it puts you in a certain mood when you play it.''

Toreador Lyrics

Feeling doubt for the Toreador

You are away to
Soon as you wait to
Drip all that hate through
Fate comes and sings to
Meaningless rush to

Let me go at him
Straight to my heart
Let me go at him
Straight to my heart

Toreador

This was inspired by Ernest Hemingway's book The Sun Also Rises. Bass player and co-vocalist Emma Richardson explained to Tonedeaf : "It just really got me, it's only a short novel but it's got a real atmosphere too it. It really transports you to Spain and that scene in the 20s you know, of people with a lot of money, just wondering around and you know just having an amazing social life basically."

"They go to this bullfight in the book and the way he describes it is brilliant and it made me really wanna go and see one for myself just to see what it actually felt like so," she continued. "I guess it's kinda loosely based on that experience but it has that Spanish feel too it I think.''

Ernest Miller Hemingway (1899 - 1961) was an American author and journalist whose style of simple sentences attracted many imitators. His life of adventure and love of big game hunting and fishing all added to his macho public image. Here are some more songs inspired by the life and works of Hemingway.

"Mrs. Hemingway" by Mary Chapin Carpenter. About the author's first wife, Hadley Richardson Hemingway.

"Hemingway's Whiskey" by Kenny Chesney. This song about living life to its fullest without compromising is a theme that many of Hemingway's novels revolved around.

"For Whom The Bell Tolls" by Metallica. Based on Hemingway's novel of the same name.

"Losing It" by Rush. The band's drummer and lyricist Neil Peart is an enthusiastic reader of Hemingway and this song refers to the author and his novels, The Sun Also Rises and For Whom the Bell Tolls.

"I Am Disappeared" by Frank Turner. The song finds the English singer-songwriter crooning about having dreams involving Bob Dylan, Patti Hearst and Ernest Hemingway.

"Islands in the Stream" by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. The song title came from an Ernest Hemingway story which was published posthumously in 1970.
