  • Hey now, call it a split because you know that you will
    Oh, you bite your friend like chocolate
    You say that we'll go where nobody knows
    With guns hidden under our petticoat
    No, we're never gonna quit it, no we're never gonna quit it, no
    Now we run, run away from the boys in the blue
    And my car smells like chocolate
    Hey now, think about what to do
    Think about what to say
    Think about how to think
    Pause it, play it, pause it, play it, pause it

    Oh, we go where nobody knows
    With guns hidden under our petticoat
    And we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no
    Yeah, we're dressed in black from head to toe
    We got guns hidden under our petticoat
    No, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no

    Now you're never gonna quit it
    Now you're never gonna quit it
    Now you're never gonna quit it
    If you don't stop smokin' it
    That's what she said
    She said we're dressed in black, head to toe
    With guns hidden under our petticoat
    And we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no

    Hey now, we're buildin' up speed as we're approachin' the hill
    (Approachin' the hill, approachin' the hill)
    Oh, my hair smells like chocolate
    Hey now, you say you're gonna quit it, but you're never gonna quit it
    Go get it, go get it, go get it, go get it, go
    And play it cool

    Oh, you said we go where nobody knows
    With guns hidden under our petticoat
    No, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no
    Yeah, we're dressed in black, from head to toe
    We've got guns hidden under our petticoat
    We're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no

    Well, I think we better go
    Seriously better go
    Said the feds are here, you know
    Seriously better go
    Oh no, well, I think we better go
    Said the feds are here, you know
    Said Rebecca better know
    Seriously better go

    (Hey)
    We go where nobody knows
    With guns hidden under our petticoat
    And we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no
    Yeah, we're dressed in black, head to toe
    With guns hidden under our petticoat
    No, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no (no, no)

    Well, I think we better go
    Seriously better go
    Said the feds are here, you know
    Seriously better go
    And well, I think we better go
    Said the feds are here, you know
    Said Rebecca better know
    Seriously better go Writer/s: Adam Brian Thomas Hann, George Bedford Daniel, Matthew Timothy Healy, Ross Stewart MacDonald

  • AnonymousI completely agree with you. These lyrics are a reference to the unrest in Wales during the early 1840s.
  • Teresa from WalesI believe that 'Chocolate' by The 1975 contains loose references to the 'Rebecca Riots' that took place in South and Mid Wales between 1839 and 1843 as an uprising against the poverty and oppressive taxation imposed on Welsh rural folk at that time. The male rioters dressed in their womenfolk's clothes, and quoted the bible; Genesis 24:60, which concerns the biblical figure Rebecca and her children. The lines, "With guns hidden under our petticoats..." and "Said Rebecca ought to know.." seem to indicate a connection. I would be interested if any of the band members would like to confirm or deny the link. More about the Rebecca Riots can be found on Wikipedia.
