R. Stevie Moore - Why Should I Love You? (1986)

Edited by Nuno Monteiro. BUY "GLAD MUSIC" ON iTUNES @ http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/glad...

NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS (U.K), 17 May 1986, by Andy Gill:
"GLAD MUSIC has convinced me that R. Stevie Moore is a genius of a rare order, with the ability to marshall a bewildering diversity of styles and influences and mould them into something quite peculiarly his own. He's one of the few practitioners of post-modernist cross-pollination with the wit and sheer taste to produce a worthy hybrid. Buy this record and make him a tax exile."

WHY SHOULD I LOVE YOU

i am stuck here with a bottle of beer
and i love you
you have been gone with him far much too long
and i care

why should i love you
asthma chazza do, i wanna sing
why should i love you
yeah uh huh alright come on

nobody told me that you could be cold
so i loved you
just how you talked to me, just how we walked
as a pair

why should i love you
now you're never true, i wanna sing
why should i love you
yeah uh huh alright come on

every night of lies i wanna cry
falling my friend
she won't compromise i wanna die
suicide won't do, so

i'll go away so you can't hear me say
that i love you
then you will see what it's like without me
in your hair

[Sabrina McDonnell]

I have to thank Record Store Day, for if it were not for the Vaccines' cover of this song, I wouldn't have heard of it. Such a catchy tune!

R. Stevie Moore's fans: Go check out the Vaccines' version, they really did the song proper justice.

[Will Neill]

How is it creepy? I think it's genius. I mean, just look how ahead of his time he was.
