Chick Singers
Well, this bald-headed girl I know Sent me a tape of Bjork and Courtney Love And PJ Harvey Called it "Brilliant Women" I put it in my car Heard it all the way down to the coast Normally, if left to my own devices I don't hear chick singers much I guess it's guys I hear the most Sometimes these days Don't it seem like it's enough For girls to love a girl Or use the F word prominently Masturbate in public Or learn guitar tied up to a post I thought of all this hearing Bjork and Courtney Love and PJ Harvey In my car driving to the coast Tori Amos, Liz Phair, Sinead O'Connor, Suzanne Vega, Jill Sobule, Melissa Etheridge, Tracy Chapman, Ani Difranco, Michelle Shocked Every one of them Has something kinda special that I like Letras de cancionesBut every now and then While listening to them I feel like when we were kids I pulled their hair or stole their bike These days, it seems like There's a lot of girls who sing And some of them are good And some of them are not But it's always kinda cool That moment when they first step to the mike If I was a girl I could sing real high And, also, then I'd know what having breasts would be like Chick singers Chick singers Chick singers I started thinkin' ‘bout Kate Bush, Patsy Kline, Billie Holiday Janis Joplin, Bessie Smith, Patti Smith Annie Lenox, Chrissie Hynde And Bonnie Raitt Seems like there's an awful lot of women In whose honor I would Like to raise my glass And give a toast Some of them are still alive And some, I hear their voices like a ghost Maybe this Thursday, I'll throw a party And invite every woman That ever sang a song This would be a party That I think I would like to be the host Thanks to the bald-headed girl Whose tape of Bjork and Courtney Love And PJ Harvey I heard driving to the coast Chick singers Chick singers Chick singers From Letras Mania
