of Montreal – She's a Rejecter

"She's a Rejecter" as written by and Kevin Barnes....
My, my, you busted me
Like a Robocop, strike me
With your riding crop I'm forever going celibate tomorrow
Tonight like success knows no shame

Oh no, she's a rejecter
I must protect myself

There's the girl that left me bitter
Want to pay some other girl
To just walk up to her and hit her
But I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't

My, my, this demon heart
Of the master's hand, crush me
Why, I don't understand and I know you're not her
'Cause the girl of my dreams is probably god, still I want you

Oh no, she's a rejecter
I must protect myself

There's the girl that left me bitter
Want to pay some other girl
To just walk up to her and hit her
But I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't

I can't just hit her
No, no, no, no, no
I won't hit her
I can't, I can't, I can't

No, I can't, I can't, I can't
No, no, I can't, I can't, I can't

    General CommentAh I love this song! It's funny and sad at the same time (like some of their other stuff). And it's obvious what it means. The poor guy is traumatized by rejection from a snobby girl.

    General CommentI like the beginning. It's like a bad pickup line.

    General CommentI agree with coffeekat on this.
    The protagonist/narrator has been rejected by a girl and is very disappointed and feels like he wants to hurt her for the pain she has wrought upon him but he can't.

    Near the end it sounded a little Sonic Youth-y to me.
    Not that that's bad, just an audible observation. :]

    General CommentThere are a few mistakes but I'll get to that later. In the title, Rejector is spelled with an e instead of an o.

    General Commentis it "but tonight, like success, knows no shame" ? I hear "But tonight my success knows no shame".

    General CommentPhantom is right, it's "She's a Rejecter." Check out the official web site's discography listing.

    And this is a fantastic song.
