Lyric CorrectionThese are the correct lyrics, taken from the liner notes.

She had wet hair
Say what you will
I don't care
I couldn't resist it

These girls are all bikini kill
We need a ride to bikini island

We run the gauntlet
Must get to France
So we can french kiss some french girls

General CommentIt was their first LP, yes, but they've released two EPs, also. Excuse my overuse of the comma.

General Commenti read in a review of this album that the lyrics are actually "we want the gauntlet lets get the rent so we can french kiss some french girls"

  i had to join this website to say no. it's: these girls are all bikini kill / we need a ride to bikini island.
  
  bikini kill is a riot grrl band from the 90s.

  I think wet hair is perfect... it implies a sense of wildness and sensuality that red hair does does not
  
  my question is, why does the band never play this song live??

  They played this in Oslo a couple of weeks ago. Brian actually told us this: We hardly ever play this songs back home in N. America because it's so hard to sing live and we always fuck up the words.
  
  But over here you probably won't notice it as much as they would do back home. Glad they played it, it's my favourite song of the album.

General CommentOk I believe it is "these girls are all Bikini Kill. We need a ride to Bikini Island." Bikini Kill being an American hardcore punk band from the 90s known for their radical feminist lyrics. its kinda funny, they want to get away from these really political, feminist girls to get to Bikini Island (a real place btw, in the Marshall Islands) just to have fun; then they want to get to France to French kiss some French girls who are known for being very snobby and hard to get with. women are strange but you can't resist them
