I really love this song, despite the fact that it is a bit disturbing..by disturbing, I mean a bit harsh. when I first heard this song I half smiled and half gasped when it got to the first chorus...."slackerbitch, fag-hag whore, looks real cute but lips are sore"?? my god, I thought, someone's angry. I mean, of course I have heard more shocking stuff than that in music and elsewhere, but it was the delivery of the lyrics that got me..but thats whats so great about this song. like any really good song (in my book at least) this song is an emotional release that doesn't hold back, but whats special about this is, it isn't hardcore...and it certainly isn't "emo" either (two genres that pride themselves on unfettered emotional release).its definately unique...Malko is pissed, but he's still vulnerable..that comes through in a lot of placebo's stuff...thats what keeps the song from being just a "fuck you girlie you're a slut" type of hard-ass thing..his nasal half scream half moan is abrasive at first, but then its one of the most beautiful things you've ever heard...the song is art, the song relates his anger to me..I feel like this girl has done me wrong....., but it isn't full blown rage..its mixed with a little questioning ...I don't pretend to know the details of the story behind it, but I don't have to know the specifics to like this song... good song.
