Girl Of 100 Lists Lyrics
Ghetto blasters, phony jewels
Cathedrals, castles, making up rules
Trashy novels and leather gloves
This is a list of the things I love
CHORUS
I am the girl of 100 lists
From what shall I wear
To who I have kissed
Check items off
Let nothing be missed
Sing I to myself and my 100 lists
Pick up your laundry, doctor's at ten
We're out of toothpaste, rehearsal (again)
Stop by the bank and cash my pay
These are the things I must get done today
CHORUS
Ricky and Danny and Terry and Jim
Dean lasted six months-don't forget him
Perhaps some day this list will end
Till then I tally my gentlemen friends
CHORUS
Cathedrals, castles, making up rules
Trashy novels and leather gloves
This is a list of the things I love
I am the girl of 100 lists
From what shall I wear
To who I have kissed
Check items off
Let nothing be missed
Sing I to myself and my 100 lists
We're out of toothpaste, rehearsal (again)
Stop by the bank and cash my pay
These are the things I must get done today
Dean lasted six months-don't forget him
Perhaps some day this list will end
Till then I tally my gentlemen friends

I've always thought that this song was about a very lonely girl who tries to cover up her feelings by making all of these random lists up. I think this is given away in the last verse, as it seems all of her relationships have ended, and until she has found her true love ( or something to that extent) she'll keep feeling depressed.

Jane's such a good lyricist. This is my favorite song from this album. It's too bad that they barely play the songs from this record anymore...
As for the meaning, I take it as a girl who's known for many things. Her 100 lists, in other words :D
