![]() Rather Ripped (2006) [ larger cover art ] |
I ripped your heart out from your chest
Replaced it with a grenade blast
Incinerate, incinerate
Incinerate, incinerate
The firefighters hose me down
I don't care, I'll burn out anyhow
It's for alarm, girl, nothing to see
Hear the sirens come for me
You dosed my soul with gasoline
You flicked a match into my brain
Incinerate, incinerate
Incinerate, incinerate
The firefighters are so nice
I remember you so cold as ice
Now flames are licking at your feet
Sirens come to put me out of misery
You wave your torch into my eyes
Flamethrower lover, burning mind
Incinerate, incinerate
Incinerate, incinerate
Incinerate, incinerate
Incinerate, incinerate

Well, the band was formed around 1980, so Moore was only about 22. Of course, Jerry Garcia didn't comply with his band's name until 1995 or so. |
| Cynaera (In a hammock under my own vine and fig tree.) | Posted: Nov 13, 2011 - 19:18 I heard the first few bars of this song and immediately thought, "OOOO - Hollywood Nights by Bob Seger." And then I remembered that he doesn't get played here. I sorta like this song, but damn - not tonight. I'll analyze it more later, maybe. Or I'll just listen to Juke Kartel. |

Yeah, but they're still one of the best bands around—completely unafraid of experimentation. That's what keeps 'em young. |

| Xstar (Florence, Kentucky) | Posted: Apr 23, 2010 - 15:53 I had no idea of their ages, which only leads me to believe even deeper in the fact that you are only as old as you ROCK! |
| pauleywalnuts (Springfield) | Posted: Feb 19, 2010 - 10:55 Nice song, reminds me a bit of some Broken Social Scene riffs. |

| MrGreg (Out West) | Posted: May 11, 2009 - 12:19 Well, at least they like their sound from 1992 enough to stick with it. |

| forge (Boynton Beach, FL) | Posted: Dec 04, 2008 - 14:50 Meh. This is a lovely song but I've just never been a Sonic Youth fan I guess. I gaveded it a five. |
| queenjill (banana stand) | Posted: Dec 04, 2008 - 14:45 Sonic Youth have a couple other songs, right? You'd think in 20+ years they could have written at least one other song that Bill would deem play-worthy. I can think of a couple I'd rather hear. |

| a_genuine_find (3rd stone from the sun) | Posted: Oct 26, 2007 - 10:34 'You dosed my soul with gasoline You flicked a match into my brain Incinerate' To me, this song is the ultimate description of the devasting betrayal by my ex, I love it's raw energy and stark, dark lyrics. It helped carry me through a very dark time and I love this song. |

| JustineFromWyoming (In the kitchen) | Posted: Sep 20, 2007 - 18:20 I, just this evening, put out a fire that started at the neighbors' front door (smoldering cigs) with my flip flops, so this is a rather timely tune to hear. |

Thank you for the clever and courteous tone of your comment. So rare that it must be noted. |
