New Zealand-based rising alternative star ratbag shared biting commentary on stereotypical heterosexual relationships in new track “pinky girl.” It follows up previous single “pinky boy.”
ratbag explains: “’pinky girl’ is about girlfriends being cooler than their boyfriends. Much, much cooler. It calls out men who do the absolute bare minimum in the relationship and call it enough.”
ratbag continues, “And it’s about girlfriends and how they beg to find ways around resorting to murder. Half the time men are oblivious to how great their girlfriends are. Sometimes when I see half-decent men with their really cool girlfriends, I just wanna shake them and force their eyelids open.”

“Pinky Girl” Lyrics:
You broke my arm
That’s okay
Will you sign my cast?
You woke me up
Not to fray
I’ll sleep after breakfast
Set off the smoke alarm
Today
I didn’t need my house anyway
I didn’t need my house, it’s okay
People, people make mistakes
I get it
And when you kill my cat
I say don’t fret it
But sometimes I wanna kill you just a little bit
And it’s okay, I’d call the cops on myself, I would admit
Oh honey sometimes everybody makes a little mistake
So give me just one
And you won’t hear from me again
My love
My love
At night you throw your arms over me
But the second you’re sleeping
I move to the ceiling
So that I can be happily frowning
Then you wake up to my smile
Good morning, pinky boy
You tell me that my tears are boring
That I make too much noise
So I got a pet crocodile to cry to every day
So you can go on back
To snoring life away
People, people make mistakes
I get it
You think your tongue’s all that
But then you kill my cat
I say, forget it
But sometimes I wanna kill you just a little bit
And it’s okay, I’d call the cops after I crash my car into your ribs
Oh honey sometimes everybody makes a little mistake
So give me just one
And you won’t hear from me again
My love
My love
You’re killing my cat
I hope you die
You won’t cry pinky boy
You’re one of the good guys
And God forbid we see a man
With teary teary eyes
You won’t shed a noise
When I stab you in the side
You’re far too tough
And pinky boys, they never cry!
But sometimes I wanna kill you just a little bit
And it’s okay, I’d call the cops I’ll crash my car into your ribs
Oh honey sometimes everybody makes a little mistake
You make mistakes
It’s okay
I’ve made one too…
I think I’m gay
