The most tender place in my heart is for strangers
I know it's unkind but my own blood is much too dangerous
Hangin' round the ceiling half the time
Hangin' round the ceiling half the time
Compared to some I've been around
But I really tried so hard
That echo chorus lied to me with its
"Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"
In the end I was the mean girl
Or somebody's in-between girl
Now it's the devil I love
And that's as funny as real life
I leave the party at three a.m.
Alone, thank God
With a Valium from the bride
It's the devil I love
It's the devil I love
And that's as funny as real life
And that's as real as true love
That echo chorus lied to me with its
"Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"
That echo chorus lied to me with its
"Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"

| gillespp (Portland, OR) | Posted: Apr 25, 2013 - 14:39 I love her phrasing; it snaps back and forth around the melody. |
| bitbanger (Upper West Side) | Posted: Apr 16, 2013 - 15:43 The tune grows on me. |

Maybe the frequencies her voice broadcasts on are not received by everyone. Which I would find surprising, since given the amplitude, I would assume that there are Martians that know Neko Case. |
| stevendejong | Posted: Apr 12, 2013 - 08:06 The return of the foghorn. I honestly cannot judge whether I like the music. Her voice makes me shut down my ears. |

| gypsyman (just passing through....) | Posted: Feb 12, 2013 - 20:06 I don't care how many people complain about hearing Neko too often - she is the Nazz. "But I'm gonna put a cat on you ... And they called dis here cat ... Da Nazz! (low) He was a ... He was a carpenter kittie. Now, The Nazz was the kind of a cat that come on so cool WA-BOM!! ... it ~stayed~ there" |

| zepher | Posted: Jul 31, 2012 - 09:51 Mostly like Neko Case and what RP plays, but I'd wish She would write more life-affirming songs. Love your voice but might find love if you looked for something more genuine rather than who has the fix at the end of the night. —> http://www.salon.com/2011/02/22/neko_case_male_groupies/  |
