You know how it feels when the real world encroaches
Rubbing elbows with the unemployed and you
You're so beautiful
You're so rude
Peeling mangos on a fold out couch
I'm scooped out
You're inscrutable
You're all mine

Swimming is a 'lude
Wine opens your mind
Your guitar's a race car
Sex is your best friend
What's your dirty answer?

My fantasies are unloved histories
You know what it's like when mistakes go unmade
It was beautiful
It was you
I'm giving up the ugly
I thought you'd make pretty
I'll be goddamned
This is beautiful
Hold my hand

Swimming is a 'lude
Wine opens your mind
Your guitar's a race car
Sex is your best friend
What's your dirty answer ?

I don't judge people
I just watch them 'til it's time to look away
I want to look away now
Somebody's coming
I don't want to live backwards,
I don't want to even look backwards
It's not my fault
It's not my fault you don't love me
It's not my fault you don't love me
When I'm drunk

I'm wiped
I'm so tired

Carry me for a little while

Kristen does sound at times like Patti Smith, but a rip-off? I think that she has been influenced like many other female vocalists, and I don't see that as a bad thing. Long live the diversity, would it be better if she was a Britney Spears rip-off?
 
yup, KH sounds good to me : )

This is NOT a 5.6 average!!! Great song, 7 at least, if not 8.

 
Totally agree!

Kristin moves me.

Patti Smith Jr. - totally what I thought.

lyrics are a trip,...the never ending tale of Woman and Man
but it's nice to keep adding chapters to the story, it's what we do 
Wow.  Impressive.  Thanks - I have never heard this before.
I feel so sorry for this poor woman.
Huge fan of Throwing Muses and Kristin Hersh - great to hear more on RP!  This album is excellent overall - this tune is good but not best on it for sure.  She is most certainly and acquired taste - like E. Costello, King Crimson, XTC, and many more....

Hey...wasn't this popular in the 1980s...with the east German monkey dance craze?

Jah Jah!  
Like it, more of a vocal style of Chrissy Amphlett than Patti Smith IMO.
I love Kristin Hersh, but her songs can be very hit or miss... and this is a miss.

Very enjoyable I must say.
It's not her fault you dont love her...
This song blatantly uses drum loops from the ACID music program. And not the good loops either.
Tell me why e i e o... is Superman dead

It's apparent some real work went into creating this. On the other hand, there's an amount of work required at the listening end of the creation as well.
Hard not so support whatever gets Patty Smith some royalties. Oh. Okay, sorry. Cool enough on a first hear.
Kris, have a lie down or something.
This really sucks!

Agreed if you manage to get Sno-cat and Freeloader on the playlist...you are truly a god!
