Cover art for Cherry Bomb lyrics by Bratmobile

the fact that the runaways were all "jail bait" at the time when they wrote this (i think they were all like 15 and 16 years old) goes along with the idea bruiseviolet was talking about. i mean, that obviously wasn't intentional on wolfe's part - she sings the way she sings no matter what song it is - but that is a nice little clash. i agree.
