Shudder To Think, "Hot One"
(1998)

Well, you're the grand one
Have you noticed?
When you walk in all the fairy boys are pale and nervous
Well, my starship doesn't want me
And neither does his world
I'm glad I caught you on my viewscreen, sailor

You're the grand one
Come and court me
'Cause this wooing is one of mourning
When my spacesuit comes to warm me
And hold me like a girl
I am the captain of the gravity, Maxwell
Everywhere I see your faces

Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the sun
But it's a crime
You're mistaken
Momentary seizure of love--oh love

Well, you're the grand one
But darling, I'm a mess
I've gotta humanize my wrinkled form
But the boys are not impressed
When my spacesuit comes to warm me
Just hold me like a girl
I'll be the captain of the gravity, Maxwell
I see your faces in the strangest places

Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the sun
But it's a crime
You're mistaken
Momentary seizure of love--oh love

Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the sun
But it's a drag
You're so mean
Destroying my belief in
In love
Oh love


Thanks, Dru and Jess and oh man, anyone else who may have mentioned this one to me in passing. It was written to be performed in Velvet Goldmine, but after being pushed to think about it several times, I'm pretty sure this one isn't so musical-ish that you can't enjoy it if you haven't seen the film. (Though really, if you haven't seen it, you need to get on that right now before you get too old and it just seems stupid.)
