Ani Difranco - Little Plastic Castle Lyrics

Brilliant

LOVE her!,,did i mention that i love her? fantastic!!

She does it HER way. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Maybe Dory’s storyline in Nemo was created because of this song. Thought of this after reading the lyrics. But yes, obviously the lyrics have nothing to do w/ Nemo...

I absolutely love her music I discovered her years ago. I'm just so surprised she's not more successful tho. She needs to be in mainstream but she loves being independent

If this were sung in Japanese or Tagalog or Turkish I'd still love it for the voice and crazy horns. Maybe even prefer it.

Swahili?

You are indeed the cutest/but be careful getting coffee/I think these people want to shoot us

I appreciate this song, and I appreciate you being you. Thanks Ani.

People that haven't heard Ani are very unfortunate. Its sad really. Ani Difranco is freaking amazing!!!

Zach went evenlly in satires trampeling rats all

lady bird. what a stunning piece of art.

happiness❤

this song is better than most music now... we need more songs like this one.

Right??? I run a nonprofit school for singers in SLC, UT and I'm thinking that we need to do an Ani tribute concert! She rocks and is SUCH a righteous babe! :)

any song 10 years ago is better than any song today except for this one

This song is still garbage though

In a coffee shop in a city
Which is every coffee shop in every city
On a day which is every day
I picked up the magazine
Which is every magazine
Read a story, then I forgot it right away

And they say, "Goldfish have no memory"
I guess their lives are much like mine
And the little plastic castle
Is a surprise every time
And it's hard to say, if they're happy
But they don't seem much to mind

From the shape of your shaved head
I recognized your silhouette
As you walked out of the sun and sat down
And the sight of your sleepy smile
Eclipsed all the other people
As they paused to sneer at the two girls from out of town

I said, look at you this morning
You are, by far, the cutest
But be careful getting coffee
I think these people want to shoot us
Or maybe there's some kind of local competition here
To see who can be the rudest

And people talk about my image
Like I come in two dimensions
Like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind
Like what I happen to be wearing
The day that someone takes a picture
Is my new statement for all of womankind

And I wish they could see us now
In leather bras and rubber shorts
Like some ridiculous new team uniform
For some ridiculous new sport
Quick someone call the girl police
And, and file a report

In a coffee shop in a city
Which is every coffee shop in every city
On a day which is every day

Its criminal that Ani has never received main stream success.

mainstream would fuck up her authentic sound anyway by forcing her to make music palatable by the mainstream

Righteous Babe Records is it I suppose

She has lots of money and a label. If that is not "main stream" success, nothing is.

Well, she was never mainstream — but she has sold over 2 million albums. So she is successful.

@Jody Appel yes it would have to have "powerful but shitty" rap music in it and lots of posturing-stay as you are ani always loved you that way!!!

Great song.

such a great song
