Long Haired Child Lyrics
When I go outside and my head started hurtin'
It's a winter's day and I know for certain
When I go outside my head'll start hurtin'
So I'll wrap it up in materials to
Keep my hair from getting cold
I'll wrap it up in materials to
Keep my hair from getting cold
Yeah I said tell my friends when I have kids
I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child
I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child
I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child
My head look like a globe
Ain't no hair on it at all
Do I buy a wig
Should I grow my beard
And comb it upwards
And around my ears
Well I can't wait for the kids to come
No, I can't wait for the kids to come
Say hey babe you're goin' know no barbershop
Cause I want yeah I want I know for certain
I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child
I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child
I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child
That's for sure, yeah, baby, that's for sure
I wanna rush home
Put on the kettle now
And warm my little brain
And bald head
I'm too cold to know if I'm alive or dead
When my baby slips out my mama's womb
We're gonna enter a new life
Enter a new life, that's for sure
You're gonna enter your self back through your baby's front door
Now if you want that child to be a long-haired child
You're gonna make that baby be a long-haired child that's for sure
Baby, baby, that's for sure
Shoobop, shoobop
.........
have you seen him?
and why would a genius like devendra write about kids not having long enough hair?
think about it
well i think it is about children not having enough freedom, i think that long hair is a symbol for freedom to him
I think the first line is "Midwinter's day, it's cold, and I know for certain".
This song is so great. I think that basically he doesn't have a lot of hair and wants his kid to have long hair.
i'm going to agree with cheesenugget.
this is definitely my fav by devendra. he makes me laugh alot, and i really enjoy it.
I agree with cheesenuggett. This song is about living vicariously through your children. The father is forcing his child to appreciate what he lacks, hair. However, he is taking away the child's freedom and giving him a hair complex issue if he does lose his hair like his father.
"You're gonna enter your self back through your baby's front door" heh :D
Also, I believe the first line is "Mid winters day is cold and I know for certain"
Hmm hmm hmm. Devendra is divine.
Cheesenugget hit it spot on.
Haha, "I'm going to agree with cheesenugget". HAHA!
im gonna want my child to be a long haired child
