half your life you kept it in / born without a stomach / now the thread around you spins // no, you're not that kind of girl / no, you could've had the world // every time they lift you up / every time more thread to cut / seems like you've been cut enough // no, you're not that kind of girl / no, you could've had the world // now lesser things / pull the strings / of priests and kings // no, you're not that kind of girl / no, you could've had the world
Alan's Notes:
hmmm, fancy chords. i like this song - where it sits in the record sequence makes it come off as a little boring maybe. albini thought we shouldn't have doubled the vocals, and in hindsight, i think he was right.
Personal Thoughts:
A nice folk breather...
Live:
Premiered in 1998, and had infrequent appearances in sets.
