SOB!!! I wrote up like 20 minutes of stuff and hit a key and lost the page. I'm going to commit to this daily thing no matter what anyone thinks about my taste in music.

I WILL get this out. I'll paste the lyrics below and comment later. Upon re-doing this I think the back story should be up-font. Veruca Salt was popular in the mid to late 90's. Two chick guitarists, both cute Louise Post and Nina Gordon. in the late 90's the band broke up, and Louise got dumped by Dave Grohl for Winona Ryder in a short time. Back then it was in all the entertainment magazines, and talk shows, but there was no internet to archive it all. Louise kept the band name, and wrote this album Resolver. This song and another "disconnected" are direct assults on Dave Grohl, and partially Nina.

So all that finally typed up, to the song. I'm going to make analogies I hate to do. This is the exact OPPOSITE of what dubstep is. The whole song builds up, up higher, then drops to quiet beauty. I's not really following the Pixies, but close. In the first 15 seconds we hear Louise clearly say "You're a hopeless liar and a hypocryat". That's harsh and setting the tone for the song. There's a LOT of repeated lyrics punching home the acusations. 1:09 is the first like climax ruined. it's beautiful. Crescendo and BAM 1:57 about 1 minute later another super crash to quiet cute beautiful voices... The rest of the song is another crescendo until IMHO the PEAK of the song at 3:40 when Louise sings "I would rather die than take your BULLIT!!"


Don't thank me for what you've got
I've given you love
I've given you too much thought
Don't blame me for sinking the ship
You're a hopeless liar and a hypocrite
Only you know, only you know
Only you know, only you know
Don't thank me for what you've got
I've given you love
I've given you too much thought
Don't shame me for calling it quits
You're a hopeless cynic I'm an optimist
Only you know, only you know
Only you know, only you know
Haa!
Don't hate me for what you've got
I've given you drugs
I've given you too much thought
Don't blame me for flunking the test
I would rather think that you were honest
Don't blame me cause you got caught
You've given me up you've taken everything I got
Those lies came straight from your mouth
I never dreamed that you would be a sellout
Only you know, only you know
Only you know, only you know
Don't use me as your last crutch
I've taken you in, I've trusted you way too much
Don't wear me around your wrist
You should have thought it through before you blew it
Same day... same life
Different person
Your ghost.my pride
Perfect union
Same day... same life
Different person
Your ghost.my pride
Perfect union
Don't hate me for what you've got, I've given you love
I've given you too much thought
Don't shame me, for sinking the ship
You're a hopeless liar and a hypocrite
Don't hate me for what you're not
I'm aiming your gun
I'm lining up the perfect shot
Don't waste me on something stupid like this
I would rather die than take your bullet
I would rather die than take your bullet
I would rather die than take your bullet
I would rather die than take your bullet
Than take your bullet
Than take your bullet
Than take your bullet
Only you know, only you know (different person)
Only you know, only you know (different person)
