I want you soft in the middle
I see a strange and furious face
I know your heart

I want your pearly hand in my hair
We make a strange and furious pair
I want you locked in the middle
I know your heart
I know your heart

It's just like mine was

So you wanna know why I can't sleep
You wanna know why I can't sleep
You wanna know why I can't sleep

Unless I've got a belly full of wine
You show up in time for a bad time

Mmm 'less I've got a belly full of wine
You show up and the world is wild

I want your pearly little hand in my hair
We make a strange and furious pair
I want you pearly on the inside
I know your heart
I know your heart

It's just like mine was

So you wanna know why I can't sleep at night
You wanna know why I can't sleep at night
You wanna know why I can't sleep

Unless I've got a belly full of wine
You show up in time for a bad time

Mmm, 'less I've got a belly full of wine
You show up in tails for a bad time

Mmm, 'less I've got my belly full of wine
I'm drunk and the world is wild

(You got it)
(Heaven in your hand)

You got it
You got it
Heaven in your hand

How does this rate only a 6.4? The blowtorch vocals on the chorus are terrific. Such minor chord teen angstiness. What's not to like?

Perfect anthem for 18-25 year olds and I don’t mean that as an insult

Really an excellent tune here: the vocals suit the strange progressions perfectly; the lyrics and music are sinister and evocative as hell!
 
I don't hear any strange progressions - all very standard rock.

Had to look twice to make sure this wasn't Patti Smith! Great song.

Saw Belly a million years for free on the Santa Monica pier. Great band, great voice. Not my favorite song, however...

Zoey Deschanel was 15 when this came out, so if anything it's the other way around.

yep, I totally agree. This song's ratings are too low.

A natural segue, from album title to tonality. This is why BillG is so good.

Take your hat off boy
When you're talking to me

I know its a different song's lyric, but I'll always like Belly & Tanya D. for that.

I saw Belly on this tour and it was an absolutely amazing show.  I love Tanya!

A handful of sleepy solo albums, all available on iTunes/Amazon. I really liked her version of "Long Long Long" on her album This Hungry Life.

How can this be "Untitled and Unsung"?  It has a title, and she's singing it.

The guitar intro sounded *exactly* like Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac... which is not a bad thing at all.

I too have always loved this band. "Star" was one of my favorite albums while in college, and to this day that disc gets a lot of play at home and in the car. I just wish they could have released a couple more albums....

Donelly has been pretty prolific over the last decade and has released four solo albums in the last 12 years if I'm reading this correctly: Lovesongs for Underdogs, 1997; Beautysleep, 2002; Whiskey Tango Ghosts, 2004; This Hungry Life, 2006.  I only have Whiskey Tango Ghosts and really like it, even though it received middling reviews.  My guess is that if you dig her voice you'll love it, otherwise it's a pass.  I'd love to know if anyone else has her other solo albums and would recommend them.  Thanks!

She has released a few solo albums.  Allmusic.com and Amazon both have more album info.

Mmm... hot music, sexy song... good and soft in the belly and the rest to imagination inside the nifty rythms.

sounds like Penetration—a 70's punk band. Similar voice and tonality. Likey!

You'd rather a "Las Vegas lounge song" perhaps? Maybe a "Top 40 throwaway song"? How about an "overplayed classic rock song"? Or even a "limp smooth jazz song"? How anyone can call themselves "radioparadisehead" and yet be so simpleheaded about music is quite the puzzle. Open up your ears and your mind.

Isnt it ironic that Belly's album "flopped"? (click here)

Ditto. I was so disappointed when they broke up. King blew their Star album out of the water. It's a definite must have album for any great music collection.
