courtney love'ın vaktini para sarfetmek ve uyuşturucu almakla geçiren şendul hallerinden sıkılıp, müziğe "geri dönmeye" karar verdiği zamanlar, americas sweetheart adlı fiyasko albümüyle yani, çıkış şarkısıydı işte bu. hakikaten heyecan vericiydi, dinleyince mevta grubu hole'la uzaktan yakından alakası bulunmayan, grunge'ı aşmış, safkan rock müzik yapmaya adanmış bir courtney love buluvermiştik. klibi biraz zırvacaydı, bir sürü küçük kız çocuğu, prenses giysileri giymiş 40 küsür yaşında bir hatun, üstelik yaşlanmış ve makyaj, estetik gibi bokluklarla kapatmaya çalışsa da bariz şekilde çirkinleşmiş, çökmüş yaşadıklarından filan.. acıyabilirdiniz de izlerken. courtney love'ın dibe vurmuşluğundan kurtulması için gereken son hamlesiydi belki de. ha, ne oldu beceremedi. albüm gerçekten berbattı çünkü. son derece şişirme, yapay bir albüm. konserve albüm. bir iki tane vardı işte, eli yüzü düzgün şarkı içinde ama albümü kurtarmaya yetmezdi tabii. ve courtney'yi. neyse yahu:

Hey yeah we had everything
Vinyl in mono
And we looked the other way man
We were so dumb
Is this the part in the book that you wrote
Where I gotta come and save the day
Did you miss me
Did you miss me

Well they say that rock is dead
And they're probably right
99 girls in the pit
Did it have to come to this

Oh god you owe me one more song
So i can prove to you that
I'm so much better than him
Oh god just gonna listen fast
Here comes the crash
We're gonna rise above
We're gotta smash it up
You won't abandon us again

Give us brilliant boys that we wanna fuck man
Full of ecstasy, hard drugs and bad luck
Yeah yeah yeah
Turn the lights back on
You burn so hard
But you won't burn long

Three chords in your pocket tonight
Are you, you the one
With the spark to bring my punk rock back
And i dont think so

Oh god i wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say that you're sorry again
Oh god you owe me one more song
So I could prove to you
That I'm so much better than them
Oh god I'd give you anything
To hear you say that I was right
And you were wrong
Oh god before i leave this life
Now enable us to love
A hook is never gonna come
Just give it back to me
Blow out all of the lights tonight

Two million miles down the PCH
(and now he's gone)
I slashed his tires, i bled his brakes
(it had to be done)
Their hand job lives were just too cruel
You merciless villlan
We drowned them all in their swimming pools
Run away run away run away yeah

Oh god i wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say that you were wrong again
Oh god i wanna hear you say i wanna hear you say
That i am so much better than you
Oh god you owe us one more song
Get out my life, see this world as it really is
Is it just a sad side show
Can make a hooker cum
And enable us to love
I need one thing that's divine
Let me hear it tonight
Let me hear it tonight
I've got to hear it tonight
You're gonna let me hear the lost cord tonight, yeah
