Big Star - Kangaroo Lyrics






I first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't hide anything
I saw you breathing, oh
I saw you staring out in space

I next saw you
You was at the party
Thought you was a queen
Oh so flirty
I came against

Didn't say excuse
Knew what I was doing
We looked very fine
'Cause we were leaving

Like Saint Joan
Doing a cool jerk
Oh, I want you
Like a kanga roo

Big Star Kangaroo Comments
  1. S.... V....

    Absolutely one hundred percent fucking adore this song. I started out with This Mortal Coil's version, still my favorite, but there's something so...emotionally raw about this one, it's irresistible.

  2. j.... v....

    the most 90s song ever made in the 70s

    j.... v....

    I totally agree! Way ahead of its time!

  3. K.... B....

    tonight I'll fuck off

  4. C.... ....

    If you like this, check out Mercury Rev and the Flaming Lips album "In a Priest Driven Ambulance".

  5. a.... ....

    Listening to 4AD's 'Mortal Coil' albums in the 1980's/early 90's got me on to so many artists I probably would never have discovered.

  6. L.... S....

    Would highly recommend checking out jeff Buckleys version. My favourite intro of all time.

    L.... S....

    Yep, also This Mortal Coil's cover is gorgeous.

    L.... S....

    Buckley's version is the best imho - especially the Live in Chicago one.

    L.... S....

    @Todd Little You should listen to this version from Jeff Buckley! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSWHAP1Nkls

  7. Q.... D....

    Came here from "This Mortal Coil". Fuck, Big Star & Alex were good. He died because he didn't have health insurance.. Didn't go to the Hospital. Way to go USA...

  8. L.... S....

    What I wish Velvet Underground actually sounded like.

    L.... S....

    I feel it. but give velvet underground more of a whirl. Especially just straight Lou reed albums. Kids - by Lou reed is a good little sad tune. I still liked your comment tho.

    L.... S....

    underrated comment, even though i love me some VU.

    L.... S....

    I'm sure that's what influenced this recording. Its hard to think they hadn't heard of VU in the early 70s. Remember the old saying, 'anyone who bought the first VU lp, started a band'. Listen to Rema Rema-Fond Affections, there's influences of both VU and Big Star.

    L.... S....

    If the op heard Venus In Furs and still wrote that post, his music taste is through the roof

  9. s.... ....

    very Velvetish

  10. J.... B....

    I've always questioned the production on a ton of their music. I like them but they needed better production. Ditto the JayHawks. I wish I could have produced for them. Some of the songs are cut lousy but have great potential.

    J.... B....

    I mean..... Third was literally unfinished

    J.... B....

    "I wish I could have produced for them" jesus christ how much of a pretentious dick can you be

    J.... B....

    Well, I thank EVERY ONE of the gods that you DIDN'T produce them, you jackass!

    J.... B....

    Glad you didn’t get the chance Michael Bolton’s ballsweat.

    J.... B....

    You have no idea what this song/album is all about.

  11. F.... F....

    so loose but so together

  12. N.... m....

    es la misma idea de wilco en yankee hotel foxtrot...

  13. N.... m....

    es wilco...

    N.... m....

    como chorearon...me encanta wilco...pero como chorearon

  14. S.... T....

    I. Love big star
