You Should Listen to This Because It Is Good

1. Mary Timony = my hero

   that girl knows where she doesn’t go
   in the river with the rest of the bones
   under the water under the stones
   away from the parties and the telephones

   until I’m gone, until I’m dead
   I’ll be making a wish on this empty head
   maybe I should just go to bed
   or try to pray or something instead

   that girl knows where she doesn’t belong
   under the ground where the days are long
   under the round earth’s revolution song
   looking up through the dirt at right and wrong

   until I’m gone, until I’m dead
   I’ll be making a wish on this empty head
   maybe I should just go to bed
   or try to pray or something instead

   i want everything you do
   don’t tell me you don’t think that it’s true
   i can do anything you can do
   don’t tell me you think that i’m rude
   cause i do anything you do
   don’t tell me that i’m rude
   i want everything you do
   don’t tell me you think that i’m rude

   that girl knows where she wants to go
   out on the river in a little life boat
   out on the castle’s muddy moat
   and through the walls with the rest of the ghosts

   until I’m gone, until I’m dead
   I’ll be making a wish on this empty head
   maybe I should just go to bed
   or try to pray or something instead

   i want everything you do
   don’t tell me you don’t think that it’s true
   i can do anything you can do
   don’t tell me you think that i’m rude
   cause i do anything you do
   don’t tell me that i’m rude
   i want everything you do
   don’t tell me you think that i’m rude
   i can do anything you can do
   don’t tell me you don’t think that it’s true
   i do anything you do
   don’t tell me that i’m rude
   don’t tell me that i’m rude

2. I should have said for those other than Dan, those lyrics are from the song Oh, the Wind And Rain

   Mary is a bad *ss, but yet feminine, woman artist that well preceded the riotgrrrl movement.
