That Girl Possessed Lyrics

We won't forget that girl possessed
We won't forget that girl possessed
Possessed

Who knew her legacy would destroy her future?
You had such promise before your rape
You had such promise before your rape

Born innocent but something had to give
Exploitation, erotica and horror
Even a spread in Oui magazine
And then your habit of getting caught
What a frightful night
Born innocent but something had to give

We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't, forget you
(What a frightful night)

You painted a picture so graphic
That no one could see past it
You painted a picture so graphic
That no one could...
They can't see past it

We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't, forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't, forget you
(What a frightful night)

We won't forget that girl possessed
We won't forget that girl possessed
Possessed

Best song about Linda Blair (The Exorcist chick) EVER!

I heard they wrote a song about Linda Blair (had no idea who she was), but now it's all making sense.

<p align=center><font color=#330066 face=comic sans>But why write a song about Linda Blair? Apart from starring in the Exorcist, what else has happened in her life that would warrant a song? :P</font></p>

Why write a song about go-carting? I have no idea, maybe they really enjoyed the movies.

I think this song is about a girl that's been raped...

Cover art for That Girl Possessed lyrics by Alexisonfire

<p align=center><font color=#CC0099>Nope - it's <b>actual</b> meaning is about Linda Blair. Let's look at the facts shall we:

<i>We won't forget that girl possessed</i> = We all know that in the Exorcist, Linda Blair's character was possessed by the devil - it's a pretty memorable film hence - <i>We won't forget that girl possessed</i>

<i>Who knew her legacy would destroy her future?</i> = Linda Blair will forever be know as the girl in the Exorcist and pretty much nothing else therefore her appearance in this film may be seen as destroying her chances of appearing in any future films without having the stigma of "Your mother sucks cocks in hell!!"

<i>You had such promise before your rape</i> = I'm guessing she wasn't much older than 14 when she appeared in The Exorcist. They may think that she was taken advantage of (her rape) by producers, directors, whoever, when she starred in the film

<i>Born innocent but something had to give</i> = Pretty self explanatory - born innocent until the film

<i>Exploitation, erotica and horror</i> = Well, the Exorcist was a horror film, but I'm unsure about the other two - did she turn to porn in her adult life? I dunno

<i>You painted a picture so graphic that no one could see past it</i> = Her depiction of Reagan was so graphic that no one could see past that performance and see her as anything else

The End - so no more arguments</p></font>

Linda Blair didn't turn to porn. After The Exorcist, she did this movie about some "troubled girl" or whatever who was sent to, like, a reformatory and got raped there by some other girls in a bathroom. So I'm guessing that's what the song is talking about.

God, why do I know all this crap??
