God kicks

Anyone has a clue what this song is about?

Lyrics:

God Kicks

Naked as I am, I’m a happy, sad bulk of a man
And I can show you everything, but I’m just doing the best that I can
And there are no escapes, come join me in my world
And the exits are all blocked off, my girl

You were very young when the law came to take you away
You had that stuff in your hair, get you in troubles some day
There’s no let up, or no respite, no answers in any way
God bless you

God kicks with both feet, God kicks with both feet
God kicks with both feet and keeps his shoes clean
God kicks with both feet, God kicks with both feet
God kicks with both feet and keeps his shoes clean

Some things in that song dont make sense to me… what stuff is in ‘your hair’? is it not ‘you had some stuff in your head’ and is it ‘escapes’ or ‘excuse’? is it ‘bulk of a man’ or ‘bonk-loving man’?

also on hearing this live, doesnt andy usually say hes a happy sad ‘fuck of a man’?

until i read the offical lyrics, i will always be slightly confused

My personal opinion is that the song is spoken from the perspective of some old criminal in jail talking to a younger, naive criminal… i dont know why really, ive just always thought that

it could as well be interpreted as a song sung by a paedophile to his too young lover and i personally don’t want to know what the stuff in the hair could be.

actually, this might not make sense at all. hopefully.

If jou smoke a joint you’ve got some stuff in your hear for about half a year, I red somewhere. And in countries where it isn’t allowed to smoke a joint and the law recognises that you did it then comes the law and take you with, I think. (Or you’ve just something to pay?)

Title: What exactly is “God Kicks” about? (merged)

Is it about a father whose daughter was taken away from him and now comes visiting him? If so, why was she taken away? Or is it about something else entirely? :o
