Fiona Apple - Red, Red, Red

Extraordinary Machine album

I don't understand about complimentary colors
And what they say
Side by side they both get bright
Together they both get gray

But he's been pretty much yellow
And I've been kinda blue
But all I can see is
Red, red, red, red, red now
What am I gonna do

I don't understand about
Diamonds and why men buy them
What's so impressive about a diamond
Except the mining

And it's dangerous work
Trying to get to you too
And I think if I didn't have to
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
Kill myself doing it
Maybe I wouldn't listen so much to you

I've been watching all the time
And I still can't find the track
And I wanna know is it okay
Is it just fine
Was it my fault
Is it my lack

I don't understand about
The weather outside
The harmony to the words
That somebody lied

There's solace a bit for submitting
To the fitfully cryptically true
What's happened has happened
What's coming is already on its way
With a role for me to play

I don't understand
I'll never understand
But I'm trying to understand
There's nothing else I can do

This is better than the version on the album. It's so much angrier!

[LillaBlueberry]

I love Fiona Apple :D.

[LindoPhoto]

I do like the angry sounding version better.

I'm feeling the dreariness of this version! Fiona, please hurry with your 4th album; it is way overdue!

[Mrlitoxxx]

@TCRos15 thanks

[TCRos15]

@Mrlitoxxx She redid the entire album because she wasn't happy with it. The first version internet leaked and was never officially released. Thats why theyre both out there

[thecalmandthestorm]

@raceyblood well, you summed up why fiona rejected his versions pretty concisely. i don't know if i agree, but it's certainly an interesting glimpse into the process.

OMG where does this picture come from?

[forgettingmyself12]

@badmouthsadmouth I also think that! But everybody says this version is better. I think the music in here is cool, but in the album version the voice is so saaad, so emotional!
