    Ok, so if we assume "dicks and fix and file things" is correct... what does that even mean? Dicks is obvious, we want to grow our dicks, sure. Fix, we're looking for the next bigger fix, like addicts, ok. File things? We want bigger files? Bigger cabinets? Bigger hard drives? :confused:
    "dicks and fix and FIRE things" is what I hear. As in fire rockets and shit.

    I'm horrible with lyrics but when I first listened I heard "dicks and sticks and fire things".

    I thought for sure the "dicks" line was wrong and just a funny misheard lyric. 
    But now, yeah, he really says boys want to grow their dicks in a song.

    A common frustration women express about men is that men always want to try to "fix" things when sometimes women just want to be heard/listened to.  That's the context I'm deducing for "boys want to... fix... things."

    I hear “dicks and fix and vio-lence”

    To me it sounds like “their dicks and pricks and fire mains”. Like another penis name. 

    Having said that when watching the official video on YouTube with captions on it says “Dixon vixen violins”. Pretty sure that’s gotta be wrong though. 
  • BennyLaRueBennyLaRue Posts: 751
    I find the "dicks and fix and fire things" to be clearest the last time he says it.
  • josevolutionjosevolution Posts: 30,545
    The lyrics are on iTunes , he clearly says , Grow their dicks fix & file things

    Ohhhh, so it's "grow their dicks" and "fix and file things". That makes much more sense. Not sure how many boys get all excited about filing though. :P
    Anyway, it wouldn't be the first time that the "official" lyrics have been wrong, so it probably is "fire". Boys want to grow their dicks, fix things, and fire things. Which, yeah, guilty.

    thanks for the transcription. I'm hearing:
    "Not one man could be greater than the sum" - commentary on all needing to work together
    definitely "their dicks and fix and fire things" - masculine stereotypes
    love the track!
    Yep...dicks & fix & fire things is what I hear. And Apple Music says this as well...in the UK anyway 😉

    I think "Vile things" would also sound right, but according to Apple's interpretation it's "File". I did see 2 different singles for sale on Amazon. A censored version and an uncensored one. I got it from iTunes with the album pre-order. It took a few minutes to show up on there, but it looks like there's 2-3 other songs with explicit lyrics?

    Girls wanna dance away their circumstance.

    Boys wanna grow their dicks....and fix and file things...
