Dragon Lady

True, Lost Somewhere Between the Earth and my Home doesn't get the acclaim it deserves.

I love this album.. Carla Bozulich is amazing.

I have been asked as to whether the lyrics say, "There's a story of a girl so sleepy, she could not be aroused," or "...she could not be roused." There are a couple of lyrics on the internet posted on other sites; however, one of them is copied from the other so I wouldn't say it was exactly 2 against one. Listen to the song and make your own mind as to what the lyrics say.

This is one of the greates fucking songs i've heard that no one else knows of.

according to the liner notes, it's "roused" not "aroused". i agree with mattd, but even more so--this entire album is one of the greatest albums that no one else knows of

I got some satisfaction from lifting up your dress A slap in the face is worth a hundred words When I open my eyes again I expect that you'll be gone But you always do what I expect I'm stopping everything, making fun of myself Drinking lipstick, tipping bookshelves Ripping up words that I thought were important

• maybe that'll blow the window open Everything I say is a stupid lie. I won't tell the truth even when I die. I'll pick myself to pieces 'til the end of time, then I'll glued 'em back together in a stupid rhyme, yeah yeah. There's a story of a girl so sleepy, she could not be roused She was kissed by pigs and doctors all over the land The birds in the trees came down and landed in her hair They built a nest and the little birdies hatched it there Teach me something, rip out my hair Send me flying through the air Do something why don't you fuckin' do something I'm so bored I sleep... Why don't you go out and talk some shit Stand up kick 'em all in the family jewels We'll watch them as their guts unfold Then we'll rob a 7-11 and hit the road

I can be quiet or I can be loud Anything to make my daddy proud We'll take hostages make demands Set fire to all our best laid plans We'll assemble volatile explosive devices Sell them for exorbitant prices Purchase an aircraft learn to fly Run outta gas while we're in the sky Automatic pilot and X-Ray Spex We were kissing in the cockpit when the airplane wrecked Everything I say is a stupid lie. I won't tell the truth even when I die. I'll pick myself to pieces 'til the end of time, then I'll glue'em back together in a stupid rhyme, yeah yeah.

Poly Styrene......... do you know x-ray spex?
