It's About Time Lyrics
Bite my tongue and I won't say a word against anyone but I don't wanna get my fingers wet unless it's an accident fell out on the street now I'm watching and I grit my teeth but I don't have to look that way if I had half a say It's about time lick my lips and I won't hear the end of this on your knees a reassurance buy some time and come back for it before long before it's gone patience is like bread I say I ran out of that yesterday enough about us lets talk about me if not about you it's not about sunshine it's about time touch my leg it's smooth but there's stubble there I'll fall back and let em' go only when I know you know I don't know make me sure have your people contact mine and keep your lawyer on the line

This song is indeed written about Juliana Hatfield. When Hatfield and Dando reunited for a few gigs this year (2010) they explained that when Evan was very high he wanted to write a Blake Babies style song about how Juliana wanted to f*ck him. Juliana, however was not aware of this until a few weeks before this year's reunion! Juliana interprets 'I'll fall back and let em' go' as her opening her legs, Dando seems happy enough with this interpretation (he adds that it's inspired from a line in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet: Thou wilt fall backward when thou hast more wit; Wilt thou not, Jule?). Before playing the song, Juliana says 'But I never did.' to which Evan adds 'That's true.' Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KZmKgJKeAs
just a fucking great song... "patience is like bread, you say i ran out of that yesterday"
^^
This is from an interview with Juliana Hatfield from Vox Magazine in 1994, in which they refer to how she let it be known that she was a 25 year old virgin:
"I wanted to present the idea that maybe sex isn't a very big deal. I think there are a lot of people out there who don't care about sex, but who you never hear from, so I thought I should say it. The magazine I did the interview for is full of beef-cake hunky guys and scantily-clad models, so I thought it would be really funny to say that I didn't care about sex in a magazine that's full of sex and beauty - but no one really got the joke."
One person who did get the joke was Dando. Indeed, the Lemonheads' latest single, 'It's About Time', was written specifically for Juliana (it's about time she lost her virginity, the song implies, and preferably to him). Both Hatfield and Dando refuse to say exactly how close they are, but they've lived together, played music together and generally inspired each other. "Ever since I've known Evan, his songs have blown me away" enthuses Juliana. "He inspires me to try to write good songs, but I don't know if he likes my music as much as I like his. I think he just likes the idea of me playing music-he thinks this cool chick playing music is really cool."
This is a great song. I would be totally happy being in a Lemonheads tribute band.
I'm pretty sure she was joking when she said that at the reunion gig.
haha. i remember this discussion at the gig. i think it was half and half. based on truth, but perhaps not quite so crass. juliana has a way, of being honest. and a singular sense of humor, often as if she's amused by inside jokes (with herself).
