About Fruit
”Fruit” is a single and the penultimate track to Oliver Sim's debut studio album "Hideous Bastard". The song is a sweeping number that lives somewhere between a ballad and a banger, recalling saccharine love songs of the ’80s. But “Fruit” isn’t an ode to a lover; instead, it acts as Sim’s proclamation of self-acceptance, rejoicing in queer identity. Those familiar with Jamie xx’s solo material will recognize his kaleidoscopic, clubby touch, though Sim’s deep vocals ensure the track is all his own. .
Fruit Lyrics
[00:21.27] Far too femme
[00:24.17] Surrounded by rocks
[00:25.64] You're gonna look the gem
[00:28.57] You can dress it away, talk it away
[00:33.17] Go down the flame
[00:35.38] But it's all pretend
[00:39.81]
[00:44.73] It's all pretend
[00:48.12]
[00:53.13] What would my, what would my father do?
[00:59.88] Do I take a bite, take a bite of the fruit?
[01:05.36] I've heard other people say
[01:09.32] It can't be right if it cause you shame
[01:14.77] Have I made you proud?
[01:18.32] Take a look at me now
[01:22.16] If I've got my father's eyes
[01:26.90] I've got my mother's smile
[01:31.07] Wrong or right
[01:33.93] You're standing right in front of the green light
[01:38.26] Just look at his face, what a beautiful face
[01:43.26] How it makes you feel inside
[01:49.74]
[01:57.71] Take a bite, babe
[01:59.99] Take a bite, babe
[02:02.13] It's an ordinary thing
[02:06.42] Take a bite, babe
[02:08.57] Take a bite, babe
[02:10.93] It's an ordinary thing
[02:14.03] What would my father do?
[02:18.54] Do I take a bite, take a bite of the fruit?
[02:23.00]
[02:29.03] Have I made you proud?
[02:32.89] Take a look at me now
[02:37.19] If I've got my father's eyes
[02:41.29] I've got my mother's smile (take a look at me now)
[02:46.56] Have I made you proud?
[02:50.16] Take a look at me now (take a look at me now)
[02:54.93] If I've got my father's eyes
[02:58.64] I've got my mother's smile (take a look at me now)
[03:07.34]
