Is Yuri G a song about a Russian cosmonaut, or a simple declaration of love for another woman? That’s the speculation at SongMeanings. Looking at the lyrics, it would be easy to argue either way, but I’d personally have to go with the latter.
To me, what makes this song great is Harvey’s voice, and the way she uses it to make you understand how she feels. It’s got some nice tension as well, giving the wail of pent up emotion at the chorus some real oomph.
And of course, the lyrics:
Hey there Luna
I’d like to tell ya
How sad am I
So love sick I could die
Needing water
My neck’s stiff, my head hurts
Been looking up all night
Been looking at the Moon, she’s so bright
She’s so white
She’s so clean
I’m telling you
She’s everything
I’d give it all
My sorry eyes
Give just everything
She’s got me so mesmerized
Yeah I wish I was Yuri-G
It’s just the things that she does to me
Yeah I wish I was Yuri-G
Give back my memory
Told by a doctor,
‘You make her figure
Needles stick in her
She’ll be your Luna’
I stuck them in real clean
I stuck them in a mile
I drew her down on me
I drew her with a smile
I’d give it all you see
I’d give my sorry eyes
I’d give just everything
She’s got me so mesmerized
Yeah I wish I was Yuri-G
It’s just the things that she does to me
Yeah I thought I was Yuri-G
Give back my memory
I stuck them in a mile
I stuck them in real clean
I stuck them in a mile
I drew her down on me
I drew her with a smile
I’d give it all you see
I’d give my sorry eyes
I’d give just everything
She’s got me so mesmerized
Yeah I wish I was Yuri-G
It’s just the things that she does to me
Yeah I thought I was Yuri-G
Give back my memory
Yeah I wish I was Yuri-G
I let her walk all over me
Yeah I thought I was Yuri-G
Give back my memory
