Thread: The meaning interpretation of The Rolling Stones' song lyrics "Bitch"

  1. Default The meaning interpretation of The Rolling Stones' song lyrics "Bitch"

    The Rolling Stones song "Bitch" is about doing heroin - specifically, a speedball mix of heroin and cocaine.

    This is why the singer is "juiced up and sloppy" but "ain't touched a drink all night."

    A HORSEmeat pie is a clear reference to heroin - which is also known as horse.

    And finally, as any heroin user will tell you, the drug affects you differently on different occasions: Sometimes you'll feel "sexy, move like a stud / Kicking the stall all night and other times "so shy, got to be worked on / Don't have no bark or bite." (You might also be feeling "tired" and "distracted," notwithstanding having just had a "fortnight's sleep." - perfect descriptions of what it feels like sometimes after a Keith Richardsian drug binge.)

    But EVERY time, the mere mention or thought of the drug will make you "salivate like a Pavlov dog," "You got to mix it child / Ya got to fix it," and, after a nice speedball, your heart WILL be "beating like a big bass drum."

    I'm feeling so tired, can't understand it
    Just had a fortnights sleep
    I'm feeling so tired, Ow!, so distracted
    Ain't touched a thing all week

    I'm feelin' drunk, juiced up and sloppy
    Ain't touched a drink all night
    Feeling hungry, can't see the reason
    Just had a horsemeat pie

    Yeah when you call my name
    I salivate like a Pavlov dog
    Yeah when you lay me out
    My heart starts beating like a big bass drum, alright

    Yeah you got to mix it child
    Ya got to fix it must be love
    It's a bitch
    You got to mix it child
    Ya got to fix it must be love
    It's a bitch allright

    Sometimes I'm sexy, move like a stud
    Kicking the stall all night
    Sometimes I'm so shy, got to be worked on
    Don't have no bark or bite

    Yeah when you call my name
    I salivate like a Pavlov dog
    Yeah when you lay me out
    My heart starts beating like a big bass drum
