Matthew Good - Flashdance II

Album: Loser Anthems (2001) and In A Coma Deluxe Edition (2005)

[Monkey:] I am a very naughty monkey, and I really think this band is really shit.
Ha ha. I'm naughty.
[Matt:] Okay, just forget it man.
[Boy:] Alright you slam your band !
[Matt:] You're fired ! I told you! We really fucking hate this band, they suck!

She was a dancer I was out work
She had a law degree, I used to be a clerk
She takes her clothes off for the Japanese
I take my clothes off whenever it suits me
Barely living, but I'm living large
Well it ain't the ending that I fear
So lets go downtown
And walk around til you feel like the walls are caving in
You could sail beside the world tonight
They were taken, and they would ruin you
You could sell us every words tonight
She had a name like April Spring
But her mother called her Judy
She takes her clothes off for the Japanese
She says they're nicer than most would be
Barely living, but we're living large
Well ain't the middle that I fear
Put in the ground
And wait arund til you feel like the walls are caving in
you could sail beside the world tonight
And they were taken
And they would ruin you
Well her hate is still prettier in person
Prettier than words now, prettier than, prettier than me
You could sail beside the world tonight
You're turning into the biggest it all gets
And my head is so light
You're turning into the biggest it all gets
And my head is so light, so, so light
You could sail beside the world tonight
And they were taken, and they would ruin you
Well her hate is prettier in person
Prettier than words now, prettier than me...

I'm pretty sure the lyrics are "You could SELL the SAD the world and they would take it and they would ruin you...."

@coquitlam9 I could articulate for days and only scratch the surface. Man is a marvel, put simply. Not many of his kind.

[coquitlam9]

@makesyouaweapon Exactly. Well put. You've completely articulated, in a way I could have only dreamed, what I love about the works of Matthew Good.

@coquitlam9 Like a lot of Matthew Good tracks, there is a depth to the lyrics that is hiding in plain sight. He manages to find poetry in the dirt between the bricks that other people just dismiss as grime. He sees things other don't see but when it's put into words, it can seem very obvious.
