Woodcut Lyrics
i've still got three fingers left on this hand
take off your belt and I'll do what I can for you
you sure look like you could be some kind of fun
maybe it's true you're more gifted than most
you'll still be remembered by the notch in my bedpost
laughed in your wake
at the break of the day that comes after
there's no one above me to stain my fierce hands
no, you don't love me, don't you say that you do
cause you can't
be my pleasure to sit here
and talk with you all day
but there's no part of me that's not wasting away
as we speak of these dreams,
promise might be but never are
oh, change is beyond me
i'm helpless to start
don't try to touch me
i'll just rip apart
all the people and things
i wish that I knew how to care for
there's no one above me to stain my fierce hands
no, you don't love me, don't you say that you do
you - you can't.
there's no one above me to stain my fierce hands
no, you don't love me, don't you say that you do
cause you can't.
take off your belt and I'll do what I can for you
you sure look like you could be some kind of fun
you'll still be remembered by the notch in my bedpost
laughed in your wake
at the break of the day that comes after
no, you don't love me, don't you say that you do
cause you can't
and talk with you all day
but there's no part of me that's not wasting away
as we speak of these dreams,
promise might be but never are
i'm helpless to start
don't try to touch me
i'll just rip apart
all the people and things
i wish that I knew how to care for
no, you don't love me, don't you say that you do
you - you can't.
no, you don't love me, don't you say that you do
cause you can't.

is this not the best jenny song? especially: oh, change is beyond me i'm helpless to start don't try to touch me i'll just rip apart
oh. the harmonies. so gorgeous. jenny. you've won me over again!
I really like the weave:
dont try to touch me... I'll just rip apart... all the people and things... I wish that I knew... how to care for.
She has many of these sneaky flows in her songs, and i like em'.
every lyric. every word. every line.
everything applies to me.
apparantly blu girl you are a lesbian then. hence the first verse. (shocker)
dont take everything so literally bass.
thats what lyrics are all about.
heatbreaking song. i think it's about someone that's fucked up and feels they are incapable of love.
I love this song so much. Absolutely gorgeous.
to me it sounds more like LEFT in your wake, not 'laughed in your wake'. makes more sense, too.
