Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks, "Craw Song"
(2003)
Martha wants Jackie
Jackie wants William
But William wants Leroy
But Leroy is straight
He couldn't commit to
The mental jujitsu
Of switchin' his hittin'
From ladies to men
Check it out
I rub so well
The marrows draw you out
I kiss and tell
And make life hell
You know what it's about here
It's into the gold mirror
William was shattered
Not that it mattered
Message to Jackie
I'll see ya at eight
He cooked her a dinner
And boy it's a winner
It's better than chocolate
And pink champagne
They want
To stay
Confined within the fortress of this day
Stick that in your craw
Check me out I love so well
The marrow draws you out
We kiss and tell
And make life hell
You know what it's about
The memory's fine
A heart is like wine
A lover that is so sublime
Memory's fine
A heart is like red wine
A lover that is so sublime here
Everybody, every oh...
Thanks,
Elizabeth!
