![]() Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991) [ larger cover art ] |
I am a man
Cut from the know
Rarely do friends
Come and then go
She was a girl
Soft but estranged
We were the two
Our lives rearranged
Feeling so good that day
A feeling of love that day
Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else
Raised by my dad
Girl of the day
He was my man
That was the way
She was the girl
Left alone
Feeling the need
To make me her home
I don't know what when or why
The twilight of love had arrived
Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else
Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else
Cut from the know
Rarely do friends
Come and then go
She was a girl
Soft but estranged
We were the two
Our lives rearranged
Feeling so good that day
A feeling of love that day
Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else
Raised by my dad
Girl of the day
He was my man
That was the way
She was the girl
Left alone
Feeling the need
To make me her home
I don't know what when or why
The twilight of love had arrived
Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else
Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else

Probably not much more than any other group from the 1960s and '70s, really - unless you're specifically listening just for that. It's not as if Old Navy has been experiencing a great demand for tights and codpieces from the '90s onward. Good song. |

I don't feel quite as strongly as you—this song is pretty good—but they never did it for me. I see a lot of similar comments on RP. Some folks love RHCP. To each their own. |

I guess they're "stretching themselves" by trying to introduce melody into their musical repertoire, but Keidis' "voice" and "range" were never up to the task. When they're funky, they're funky. I'll give you that. |

Pretty sure this is 6/8, not 3/4 (but you knew that). 6/8 Time can be called "double-waltz" or "compound" waltz time, but this is certainly not the only "waltz-based" hit of the 1990's. "Kiss From A Rose" by Seal is one that comes to mind - there are probably others. |

| crockydile (Outer Spiral Arm, Milky Way) | Posted: Apr 06, 2010 - 18:34 Lyrics very appropriate to me at this moment. Sadness. Amazed. |
| potatomutant (Hanging on a curtain) | Posted: Feb 17, 2010 - 21:21 I didn't get the Tull thing (re: comment below), but there at the end, it really caught me. So I rated this a little higher than I was gonna. But on its own, it's still one of my favorite RHCP tunes. I like the acoustic-y-ness of it. |

Sort of jazzy but definitely not medieval-sounding. These guys drew inspiration from a diverse variety of artists, so anything is possible, I guess. |
