Re: The Return of the Lazy Ass DRH

Untouchable Face by Ani DiFranco - what a song. Great lyrics, and the gentle intensity of the "fuck you"s - I am willing to bet she lived that.

excerpted:
To tell you the truth I prefer the worst of you
Too bad you had to have a better half
She's not really my type
But I think you two are forever
And I hate to say it
But you're perfect together

So fuck you, and your untouchable face, and
Fuck you, for existing in the first place
And who am I, that I should be vying for your touch
And who am I, I bet you can't even tell me that much

and the imagery:
2:30 in the morning, my gas tank will be empty soon
Neon sign on the horizon, rubbing elbows with the moon
Safe haven of the sleepless, where the deep fryer is always on
Radio is counting down top 20 country songs
And out on the porch a flystrip is waving like a flag in the wind
You know I don't look forward to seeing you again
You'll look like a photograph of yourself
Taken from far far away
I won't know what to do, I won't know what to say, except
Fuck you...

pure genius
