Shell Shock

Heart

I can snap my fingers and get quick results
I can wink my eyes and melt their little hearts
Something hit me brought me to my knees
Something hit me, no remedies

You came out shooting, you left me stunned
I know I`m losing it, look what you have done
Shell Shock Shell shock
You got me in your love lock
Shell Shock Shell shock
I can`t escape it no I can`t shake it

You crept up behind me
A rival to my heart
Hit me with your charms baby
Caught me in the dark

You made me like a bandit, made yourself a hero
I couldn`t stand it, will power zero

You came out shooting, you left me stunned
I know I`m losing it, look what you have done
Shell shock Shell shock
You got me in a love lock
Shell shock Shell shock
I can`t escape it no, I can`t shake it
But I like it, I like it a lot
I like it, I like it a lot
Shell shock Shell shock

Something hit me brought me to my knees
Something hit me, no remedies
You came out shooting, you left me stunned
I know I`m losing it, look what you have done

Shell Shock Shell shock
Shell shock Shell shock
Shell shock Shell shock
Shell shock Shell shock

    No comments yet? I think this is the best song on this album. Not as good as the earlier songs the sisters wrote themselves, but still pretty cool.

    I think the line is actually "Something BIT me, no remedies."

    And maybe it's just me, but I always thought she was saying "rifle to my heart," the rifle being a phallic symbol that fits the theme of the song.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
