![]() Laid (1993) [ larger cover art ] |
This bed is on fire with passionate love
The neighbours complain about the noises above
But she only cums when she's on top
My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no
Ah, you think you're so pretty
Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the drawer
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in women's clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Line my eyes and call me pretty
Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You're driving me crazy, when are you coming home?
Laid, laid

| ziggytrix (Dallas, TX) | Posted: Sep 07, 2012 - 10:12 Circumstance provoked a re-watch of the video fairly recently. I'd completely forgotten what a brilliant bit of pop art that was! |
| Baketown (Maryland) | Posted: Sep 07, 2012 - 10:08 I love the drum fill! |

Well played. Haha |
| PA1749 (Room 106) | Posted: Aug 22, 2012 - 08:32 This band is seriously under-rated in America. Huge in England. I wish I could have experienced their music before they broke up. |

| sjmo2 | Posted: May 04, 2012 - 00:09 love this band! this is a great cd and seven is even better. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Apr 17, 2012 - 22:26 Everybody in my hotel room loves this song... |
| socalhol (Seattle) | Posted: Apr 09, 2012 - 17:35 Saw James in concert last night and they VERY ADAMANTLY announced their refusal to play this song............. |
| TJS (Bradley, Il) | Posted: Apr 02, 2012 - 07:00 This whole album is amazing. Soooooo good. |
| yofitofu (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Feb 14, 2012 - 11:34 YES YES YES. James is one of the most underrated groups around. They have a lot of superb music and are also a blast in concert. |
| True_Intent | Posted: Jan 29, 2012 - 22:24 A perfect little pop gem! |

That sweetly innocent question reminds me of a sexual position described in an episode of a popular radio comedy series some years back. It's called The Queen: the woman on top and waving :o) I'll get me sex aids... |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Nov 27, 2011 - 10:24 Whoever's being described/lambasted/celebrated in this song, it's fair to say that she counted as 'high maintenance'... |
| luvinlife | Posted: Nov 11, 2011 - 05:37 I turned this one up - I play it loads luvitloads eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee |
| Byronape (Snorkeling in the River Styx) | Posted: Aug 24, 2011 - 18:44 This song is so much fun it should be illegal! I just have to blast it loud, and since I work the service desk alone there is no one to complain about it. Even if there was, it'd be worth hearing it as long they didn't complain during this song! |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Aug 08, 2011 - 20:29 excellent... love it... |
| okelle | Posted: Jul 08, 2011 - 11:41 This song always makes me think of the late 90s, when I was young and immortal. |

| Orodrigues (Resende (RJ), Brazil) | Posted: Oct 13, 2010 - 15:41 Well, shake it up baby now (Shake it up baby), Twist and shout! |
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Sep 27, 2010 - 11:53 I was gonna like this song for its boldness, but the sexual references make me a little uneasy. Um, and guilty, because they make me laugh. As do the comments. Oh, okay - I'll give it 7. With the right to change my mind at any time. |
| mark63 | Posted: Sep 11, 2010 - 21:16 this is one of the best albums/cds ever made.... not to mention one of the best bands ever! |
| sunybuny (The West Coast & Best Coast of FLA) | Posted: Aug 26, 2010 - 12:02 Dang I want to turn this up loud but I don't think the boss will like it. |
| gratefulgator (San Francisco CA) | Posted: May 07, 2010 - 09:37 yeah! this song needs to get played more often! |

| jcioban (Between NYC and Boston) | Posted: Aug 28, 2009 - 07:18 The high-pitched whine may be more sonically damaging than the bagpipes that preceeded them on the playlist. |

I hate emoticons. But this speaks to me when I hear this song. I'll dance on top of anything when this song plays.
