She won't hesistate to take me to Denver or to pay for my man made
Wanna buy a bag
I pay like everybody else

She wears a nightgown in front of you
Shows you a nipple or that's just what I see
Wanna buy a bag
I pay like everybody else

All of the makers are comatose
All the makers make the most
And when they buy their bags they pay like anybody else

All of the daughters are having fun
They spend all their evenings looking for guns
And when they buy their bags they pay like anybody else

It's okay to have fun with your mind
Hang onto anything decent you find
'Cause when you buy your bag you pay like everybody else

I've been alone for a very long time
Take care of yours 'cause I take care of mine
If I certainly leave you'll pay like everybody

Yup! I came here to see if anyone else noticed the same bass line.

Well this is a first listen for my ears, I like the funkiness, and nostalgia of wanting to "Buy a Bag" which is now completely legal (in the MJ sense at least) and no longer provides a seller with a "nipple show" or anything of that sort.  Oh well, progress is progress....and I'll got with an 8 for this tune....Long Live RP!!

Reminds me of Ian Brown, which is the best. Easy 8 from your boyeee

Very perceptive to play this after Radiohead's "I Might Be Wrong". Similar underlying structure.

Sounds good. Bring the funk.

It's hard not to like someone who still throws in a wah-wah sound.....

I thought the same thing, it is pretty scary that I can't remember my PIN, but few notes from a REALLY BAD song are still in my head after a decade.

Sounds like what INXS might sound like today if Michael Hutchence were still around...

That's remarkably close to my thoughts! Nicely summed up.
