The song "Moving In With" by Happy Mondays tells a somewhat chaotic and nonsensical story. The lyrics depict a situation where there are two bent (broken) pigs (possibly referring to people) in a crash (confusion) downstairs, chewing at the door and asking why the narrator is slow. There is also mention of a schizophrenic acquaintance who has nowhere to go and is metaphorically stuck with his private parts in the narrator's window. The repeated line "We're moving in, on, with you, You're moving in, on me" suggests a sense of invasion or intrusion, possibly referring to the chaotic and unpredictable nature of life. The second verse introduces the concept of four muddy pigs in the flat (apartment) downstairs, also impatiently asking why the narrator is slow. The schizophrenic acquaintance is again mentioned, but this time with his private parts through the narrator's Afghani window, adding a bizarre and unsettling element to the story. The chorus lists several names, such as Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Goosey Loosey, Turkey Lurky, Ducky Lucky, and Tricky Licky. These names are likely references to characters from the fable "Chicken Little," which tells the story of a chicken who believes the sky is falling, causing panic among other animals. Overall, the lyrics of "Moving In With" seem to showcase a chaotic and surreal situation, filled with absurd characters and events. The meaning behind the song may be open to interpretation, but it could be a reflection of the unpredictability and disorderliness of life, perhaps emphasizing the need to adapt and keep moving forward despite the chaos.
