Cinderella's Big Score Lyrics
[Kim]
if i could give you anything
i would give you a kick
you'd rather have a dollar
than a hug from your sis
you really fucked up this time
your lady's really pissed
she's not just laughing
she's polishing her fist
but you could give me anything
but you couldn't stand a fist
don't give me your soul
your heart is an abyss
here's a pack of ciggies
fresh from the wonderlist
a dream to wish your heartdesires
cinderella is pissed
a cold is gonna take you
freeze away your tears
come a little closer honey
we could be so near
mind to your crossfire
that you got no sense of time
mind to your heartdesire [lights are out inside you???]
that i'm scared of your crime
if i could give you anything
i would give you a kick
you'd rather have a dollar
than a hug from your sis
a cold is gonna take you
and freeze away your tears
come a little closer honey
we can be so near
if i could give you anything
i would give you a kick
you'd rather have a dollar
than a hug from your sis
your lady's really pissed
she's not just laughing
she's polishing her fist
but you couldn't stand a fist
don't give me your soul
your heart is an abyss
fresh from the wonderlist
a dream to wish your heartdesires
cinderella is pissed
freeze away your tears
come a little closer honey
we could be so near
that you got no sense of time
mind to your heartdesire [lights are out inside you???]
that i'm scared of your crime
i would give you a kick
you'd rather have a dollar
than a hug from your sis
and freeze away your tears
come a little closer honey
we can be so near

"My brother was a genius poet who belonged to another century and became schizophrenic." - Interview w/Rush Magazine. The video definitely shows a picture of Kim's brother.
"Keller, who is four years older, was handsome and bright but given to outbursts of animosity, often directed at her. He took LSD, briefly dropped out of college, and dated a woman who disappeared during the Tate-LaBianca murders. On the day he graduated from a master’s program at Berkeley, with a classics degree, he suffered a psychotic episode, and soon received a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. He shuttled between halfway houses, psychiatric wards, and jail. For a time, he lived in a trailer parked in his parents’ driveway; eventually, they had him declared a ward of the state, and today...

i heard thurston say that this song was kim addressing her brother
women rebeling against men?
of course it's adressing her brother "you'd rather have a dollar than a hug from your sis". i think the brother was a bit of the tracks or something and she could have offered him a home but he'd rather have money then family security. i think the video clip was suggesting that that he would wait round on the street for cars, jump in and giv emen blowjobs for money.... i might be wrong, if not thats pretty personal
yeah its definitely about her brother plus at the beginning of the music video for this song is picture of kim and her brother so
