In the beginning my love was fierce
One heart stopped and another started
I flashed my eyes, cracked wise and left them dry
Now I sit with my babe at my breast
I was never this good at my best
Never higher

The moon was paper white the night you saved my life
When my spirit guide left me behind
The wood was closing in, foggy was the night
The night you saved my life
When my spirit guide left me behind

I spy with my third eye
Something volatile and vital
So say goodnight, sleep tight, don't let them bite
Now I stand with the wind at my back
Every day brings a new breed of jackass
I was never good at monkey-in-the-middle
Never a fighter

The moon was paper white the night you saved my life
When my spirit guide left me behind
The wood was closing in, foggy was the night
The night you saved my life
When my spirit guide left me behind
The moon was paper white the night you saved my life
When my spirit guide left me behind

Nike saved my life?
 
It's very possible. With your Nike's you can outrun the mob that's chasing you. {#Wink}

More Tanya!
Seems kinda Lisa Loeb-ish . . .  Harmless enough . . .

I agree. Didn't really wow me.

In fact, it downright blows.

Please no more then once a year. She has much better stuff. Only play this so we can appreciate the other stuff more!

Never liked the 8 year-old voice sound. Cute. Good bubble gum sound.
Nice sound, but generally a bit too whimpy to truly like.

Loved her with Throwing Muses, loved her with the Breeders, loved her with Belly, love her solo.

I'm glad someone else still loves them too.

Cyndi? She's on Broadway doing the Threepenny Opera. (edit) answering a 4-year-old question.

I like this song.

Liking this more as I hear it-yes, killer lyrics. She reminds me of a mix between Cyndi Lauper & Garbage. Lets hear more from her!
Cyndi Lauper meets Jewel without some of tha sugar sweet-
Ms. Donelly's voice has always been one of my favs in the rock world. Her solo stuff is pretty decent - not enough of it out there, though. I miss Belly. Their album "King" is still one of my all time favorites.

As great as the sound is, I agree about the lyrics. Killer.

I am so bummed... she played here this weekend past and I couldn\'t afford to go Heard she was really good too... :roll: I like her stuff with Throwing Muses, Breeders and Belly. Her new stuff seems quite good too :)

Not sure if the lyrics were meant to be ironic, but I really like the musicianship. It\'s something I could hear again a few times, and I\'m really curious about what else she does. Thanks.
interesting - baby-voice is a little distracting tho.
