Clean Lyrics - Incubus
Review The Song (8)
Today, everything was fine, fine, fine
Until 'round about quarter to nine,
Suddenly found myself in a bind, a bind
Was it something I said?
Something I read and manifested that's getting you down
Don't you dare come to bed with that ambiguous look in your eye,
I'd sooner sleep by an open fire and wake up fried.
Say what you will, say what you mean oh,
You could never offend, your dirty words come out clean, clean
Tomorrow, what price would I pay?
Could I make it all up to you by serving coffee for two in bed?
Would you then give me the time of day?
I need a map of your head, translated into English
So I can learn to not make you frown
You'd feel better if you'd vent
Put your frustrations into four letter words
And let them out on mine, the most weathered ears in town.
Say what you will, say what you mean.
No, you could never offend, your dirty words come out clean
Clean, clean
Clean, clean
Say what you will, say what you mean.
No, you could never offend, your dirty words come out clean
Say what you will, say what you mean
No, you could never offend, your dirty words come out clean, clean
Stop
Until 'round about quarter to nine,
Suddenly found myself in a bind, a bind
Was it something I said?
Something I read and manifested that's getting you down
Don't you dare come to bed with that ambiguous look in your eye,
I'd sooner sleep by an open fire and wake up fried.
Say what you will, say what you mean oh,
You could never offend, your dirty words come out clean, clean
Tomorrow, what price would I pay?
Could I make it all up to you by serving coffee for two in bed?
Would you then give me the time of day?
I need a map of your head, translated into English
So I can learn to not make you frown
You'd feel better if you'd vent
Put your frustrations into four letter words
And let them out on mine, the most weathered ears in town.
Say what you will, say what you mean.
No, you could never offend, your dirty words come out clean
Clean, clean
Clean, clean
Say what you will, say what you mean.
No, you could never offend, your dirty words come out clean
Say what you will, say what you mean
No, you could never offend, your dirty words come out clean, clean
Stop

A. The album was released in 99'
B. That 9/11 cmmnt... wtf dumbass lol
C. The song can be interpreted in a few ways like 97% of songs, but i totally agree with Dru on this, he's trying everything to please his girl, and get some info out....
D. INCUBUS OWNS! AND THAT'S SOMETHING EVERYONE CAN AGREE ON :D
Mr. Boyd is lovely | Reviewer: Megan C | 6/1/10
Incubus is AMAZING. And I think that Clean is a very sweet song. He talks about how he wishes he could have a map of his gf's head so he can learn how to not make her frown. That right there makes me feel tingles in my pants. haha I love Brandon!!

Okay as for the 9-11 comment... you're a dumb ass- this album was released in 1995 and 9-11 took place in 2001. Obviously the lyrics reflect a relationship where the girl doesn't express her emotions and he wants her to. Dru (commenter above) is right on it.

personally, i think the bulk idea is a relationship (obviously) but she keeps saying the guy is doing stuff wrong, treating her badly, but she doesn't even say it and when she says something bad, it comes out clean, so it makes her look innocent.
other than than, i have no idea =D

I really don't find that this has a September 11 feel to it. I think that it's just about not understanding each other in relationships. She doesn't express her feelings and he's just trying to figure her out.

This song kinda has a spetember 11 feel to it. A plane hit one of the towers at around a quarter to nine and I'm sure whatever cussing and emotions those people had, it all came out clean. They were caught in a bind they didn't expect and no one should expect.

its about an argument that results in the silent treatment he gets. he's saying just say what you want to say, nothing hurts worse than silence. even dirty words will come out cleaner than the silent treatment.

this song is the song for all them people have relationships that take a funny turn for no reason.
