Bull In The Heather is a pretty cool song on many different levels. I love the distortion of the guitars on the aural side, the use of maracas to provide additional percussion, and plus Kim Gordon’s voice is really fun to listen to, as she oozes sensuality.
I’m not going to bother trying to figure out exactly what the song is about; it’s obviously about a relationship, but past that the parameters get murky. Besides, the folk at SongMeanings are more than willing to provide all sorts of unique and interesting theories.
And of course, the lyrics:
10, 20, 30, 40
tell me that you wanna hold me
tell me that you wanna bore me
tell me that you gotta show me
tell me that you need to slowly
tell me that yr burning for me
tell me that you can’t afford me
time to tell yr dirty story
time f’r turning over and over
time f’r turning four leaf clover
betting on the bull in the heather
10, 20, 30, 40
tell me that you wanna scold me
tell me that you a-dore me
tell me that you’re famous for me
tell me that yr gonna score me
tell me that you gotta show me
tell me that you need to sorely
time to tell yr love story
time f’r turning over and over
time f’r turning four leaf clover
betting on the bull in the heather
