Women's Studies Victims Lyrics
Mistake,
Like a mental state
Gangbanging
A sad return to the eagle-shaped mirror
I'm the kind of mannequin that cheats and
Opens its eyes to the ladies of the spread
She spoke of Germaine Greer and Friedan, I don't know what to think
I took her standing in the kitchen ass against the sink
She draped me in a stole
(what kind?) I think Malaysian mink
And threw me out into the snow; I waited for the bus
Up come some values voters screaming, 'are you one of us'
I said of course man, can't you see I've got some text reconstruction?
(What does that mean?)
No clue
It must be an illicit pentagram
(What are you talking about?)
No clue
Can't focus, can't stop staring at the face I used to know
This life is not a prison: we are always free to go, anytime
You met me at such a dismal point on the arc
I think I understand what you were saying
About the smiles of the skulls
The spastic face was the last one
Our luck was white
I read it with my head open,
Only slightly cracked
Someone will have to close it when I'm done
Make the most out of the visuals
While walking through the woods
I noticed someone had built a house for nobody in particular
(I know)
It's time to penetrate, their fantasy
It's "no BIRD in particular", which is the genius of it.
Love, love, LOVE this song. This and Eluardian Instance (and Triphallus) are the best songs on Skeletal, though the whole album is brilliant and I've been listening to it for about 3 weeks straight.
I love how it has so many different parts and they flow into each other so organically even though they sound so different. (True of both the album and Women's Studies Victims.)
Also I think it's "syntax DEconstruction" which would go along with the pomo-speak mockery - especially because women's studies is often concerned with Barthes etc.
"...that cheats and opens its eyes"
"then" (not and)
"oh come some values, photos screaming, are you one of us?" (unsure about that first part)
"of course man, can't you see i've got some text reconstruction?"
"I'm trying to interphase"
"while walking through the wood"
"oh come some values, photos screaming"
"oh come some values, photos screaming"
here come some values voters screaming
here come some values voters screaming
I Love the title of the song... It is like hehehe, feminists and their brainwashing victims.... how suspiciously evillll.... YAY WOMEN'S STUDIES!!!
"my curse had the rawest Chinese stars"?
one of the kicked-around names for "Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider" was "Eagle-Shaped Mirror," so a "sad return to the eagle-shaped mirror" might be a reference to the same kind of sensual/sexual temptation scenario that was featured in Bunny.
also: "Fate had painted her face like a man's mistake" maybe?
I think most likely it's referring to the actual Cut song "eagle Shaped Mirror" that came with the ID Engager single.

values voters...2004 election..yea. tax reconstruction? yea.
Hah, Friedan is from my hometown.
Also, I think it's "I'm the kind of mannequin that cheats and opens its eyes", not "she'd send opens its eyes"
I think that it says pants in your ass, not pentagram, lol. Who is Friedan?

Betty Freidan was a feminist, activist, and writer.. Makes sense with the song. Haha. :)
