he takes me everywhere he goes and he goes everywhere he
likes to try on all my clothes but not my underwear and he
never hates me just wants to levitate me now i know the
secret of the world i am the girl and he is the guy i never dared
to be simple and wise he opened up my eyes i understand
everything and now i can die he gives me everything he’s got
and he’s got everything he calls me on the phone a lot he’s
got a special ring yeah he really loves me sweethearts and
turtledoves me now i know the meaning of that word i’m not
trying to say that i don’t want to live 'cause i do i’ve got more
to take i’ve got some more to give you know i do but if
tomorrow my number should be called i won’t be sad i won’t
feel bad at all
"I'm not trying to say I don't want to live , 'cause I do...."
I like the song melodically, but that's really is lazy lyrical writing, a far cry from "you can't fight the seether" or asking Levolor to be your blind.
I love this song and video! Nina is absolute perfection and the song is the perfect pace. And I love how her under the sheets in the beginning looks like a call back to Volcano Girls.
I love both of Nina's solo albums both were absolutely amazing. I loved that she showed exactly how versatile she can. She can rock with the best of them, but she shows she can also put out quality music like Sarah McLachlan does. I was very shocked to hear Nina go in this direction and I was upset when I heard this. But the more I listened it quickly became one of my favorite albums. As well as Bleeding Heart Graffiti. I am also happy she and Louise buried the hatchet reunited and are working on a new Veruca Salt album. I hope they go back to the 8 Arms to hold you forumla that to me was their best album.
In a way, this song reminds me of Number One Blind: it ambles along well, an above average pop song, then in the last third, Gordon makes some small, perfectly judged decision which doesn't sound abrupt but still explodes the song. In Number One Blind, it's the downbeat, snarly chorus kneecapped by how 'morning' is held; here it's the 'I won't feel bad at all'. She just has the uncanniest knack for giving her songs a charge you don't see coming.
Video could still do with less crotch grabbing
