![]() The Real Ramona (1991) [ larger cover art ] |
She colourblind tired eyes
Her hallway aching
She'll never move him - likes it that way
He's just a walker and he'll never stop walking away
It's not too soon he said
It's not too soon at all
You might as well be dead he said
If you're afraid to fall
I said -
I know her
She said -
Why do you stare so hard
Wrapped up like a doll in bad dreams and broken arms
Make these old bones shiver
It's not too soon he said
It's not too soon at all
You might as well be dead he said
If you're afraid to fall
I said -
I know her
The last time I saw you,
You were standing in the dark
And with a freezing face,
I watched you fall apart
It's not too soon he said
It's not too soon at all
You might as well be dead he said
If you're afraid to fall
I said,
done your time
been in your place
I couldn't look you in the face
and tell you that it turns me on
it makes my stomach turn
I know her

| Stingray (EUROPE) | Posted: Dec 25, 2010 - 13:04 Hello RP-Listeners! I wish all of you "MERRY CHRISTMAS", wherever you are - whoever you wanna be! Christmas is a sweet-naive tradition - not a religious event! I like it anyway! Still - I hope Bill takes the chance to rock the christmas-tree to pieces tonight! "Happy Christmas your "BAD SANTA", aka STINGRAY -from Cologne/Germany- PS Sermon of the day (promise: I'm serious): The "Three Wise Men" - Melchior, Balthasar + Caspar are buried in a golden sarcophage in"our" dome, the famous "Cologne dome" - the third highest church-building in the world - right in the very centre of town, next to the Rhine. A gothic building of extra-class!

| ckcotton | Posted: Aug 20, 2010 - 10:27 sounds like a Go-Go's rip off.... lame |

I prefer to use a catapult for mimes — that way you don't have to grab around those invisible boxes that they protect themselves with. Good tune - Tanya Donnely and Kristin Hersh. |

| Bridieboo (Halifax, NS) | Posted: Sep 06, 2009 - 15:42 Nice one! I heard this song years ago, really liked it but could never remember who it was. Thanks RP! |
| diazo (high in the northern rockies) | Posted: Jan 28, 2009 - 07:15 This album remains one of my favorites. One gem after another all the way through. |
| tpa29970 | Posted: Dec 27, 2008 - 16:30 Gorsh! What a pleasant surprise. Put "Two Step (from the same album)" into circulation, and you will have truly moved beyond anything I could hope to hear on Ye Olde FM wireless radio contraption. |
| jnhashmi (South Pasadena/Los Angeles) | Posted: Jul 22, 2008 - 16:21 This song goes from good to great when she repeats the synth sound with her voice. That part makes the song. |

Follow-up a few months later...interesting that I seem to like everything I hear from the Muses (going way back) yet really don't care for Kristin Hersh, who's getting play here as well. Odd? |

Hmmm, I can't seem to find that emoticon. Here's the best I could do..
Catchy tune. |
| Filofox | Posted: Apr 13, 2005 - 11:45 So laden with positive associations...ahh, the memories!...that I just can't help but love it. Upbeat and infectious -- one of my fave tracks of all time. |
