Baby's playing dead in cellar
Gave her water just got paler
Grass stains back burns
She's a screamer
She's just dusted, leave her
If you see her, don't upset her
Never seems to get much better
Grass stains back burns
She's a screamer
She's just dusted, leave her
Her hmm, hmm, goes to your heart
Her hmm, hmm sticks in your head
Her hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm
Baby's playing dead in cellar
Gave her water
Just got paler
Grass stains, back burns
She's a screamer
She's just dusted, leave her

| adib (Derbyshire, UK) | Posted: Nov 09, 2012 - 07:43 Not the best song on the album - but still gets an 8 from me... The album as whole (if we could vote on albums) would get a 10 - there aren't many albums that I've listened to over and over and yet still haven't tired of. This is one, Catherine Wheel's "Chrome" is another. |

| Sloggydog (UK) | Posted: May 25, 2009 - 02:07 Love this album. Like teenage candy. |
| Dude (Los Gatos, CA) | Posted: Apr 23, 2009 - 10:09 Great tune. A simple structure, but killer vocal rhythms. I wouldn't say that Tanya is off key... it's her vocal style. I'm really not getting the negative comments towards this tune. |
| Marley (Portland, Or) | Posted: Oct 15, 2008 - 22:51 Love, love, love this song! I had the cassette of this back in the day and now have the CD. Still one of my favorite albums. |

Interesting... if you do this deliberately, it's going to make "A Day in the Life" sound awfully tinny... |

They played a song with Catherine Wheel, which I didn't like then, and have't acquired a taste for yet. The opening gig, however, was one sweet and largely unknown girl, then, named... Jewel. I quite like Belly, and some of Tanya's later work. However, that day at the concert, the truth of the matter is that what really surprised me and blew me away was Jewel's performance. She was warm, friendly, intimate and as at ease with the audience as if she were ntertaining a group of her buddies in her living room. Tanya, on the other hand, I found rather aloof and a tad pretentious. I haven't looked at any figures that could determine who became a more recognized pop star in the following year, Jewel or Tanya...  |

You can say that again. This is one of my absolute favorite 90's college-era albums, ever. |

Actually, they broke up after their second CD (undeservedly) flopped both critically and commercially. Tanya Donnelly went solo and released three CDs so far. |
| macz (My Desk) | Posted: Feb 24, 2006 - 12:42 Great to hear a deeper track from this super band. A lot of individual talent circulated around this band! |

| jah_blessed (Netherlands) | Posted: Dec 27, 2005 - 00:28 My upload! Hopefully it gets played soon. Saw them live years ago. I think they opened their set with this song. It got me in the mood instantly. I was shaking for hours afterwards. |
