I Mother Earth - Like A Girl Lyrics
Can't think a straight line beyond the hill
It seems like a mountain next to an ocean behind
A thrill almost in my reach
If there's a way I could
Feel the face of intelligence
What a good head says...you're no me
Can't see the forest for all
The green, it all gets in my way
Can't dig a desert without
The need for old religion, for holy grails
And a Jesus nail through the head
For all the pain and misguided faith
My mind erased before I had time
To waste my afternoon
And brightens my backyard a yellow
Dying sun
I bite my tongue and swallow pride and blood
On some other plane I have
Become affected drawn and strange
I'm inclined to blame
My Mother for dressing me like a girl
I don't know maybe that's kind of weird
Or without thinking
Taking low roads and coloured pills
Always searching
Maybe then I would find
A place in this mess
It swells a vein that the only things
That are keeping me awake
Are re-runs of the Mod Squad and cartoons

I Mother Earth Like A Girl Comments
It sounds like a mix of jazz, funk, and rock. Very cool
I vaguely remembered back then one of my friend asked is this album any good. I told him its "Canadian Siamese Dream"
They were surprisingly energetic and upbeat for a lot of their songs being about the singer being abused and confused about his sexuality growing up.
Lee Pasquali I wasn’t aware of that in any of the lyrics at least from this album..
‘ like a girl’
every 30 days a light goes off that brightens my backyard
A yellow dying sun I bite my tongue and swallow pride and blood’
An obvious metaphor to menstruation. But not the female kind; a male kind of alienation, angst, disorientation, bewilderment in infinity..u know
I’m a man !! Hahahahaha I love I Mother Earth
Did a lyrics analysis to this in grade 7. Didn’t have a fucking clue except that it was genius
Typical Fender Strat sound awesome
Awesome!
Still sounds damn good.
i was dressed like a girl once and i played this song while wearing a girls dress
best rock album of the 90's right here, just saw these guys with edwin in port dalhousie st catharines in the summer at the biggs and bbq so fuckin awesome
I've lived in ST atharines for fifteen years and am generally obsessed with IME how the fuck did I miss this why Lord
TOM SAWYER meets DAVID BOWTIE
Show Don't Tell/RTB flickering wrist action by MR STRANGIATO
This is my " I need a pick me up song" So effin groovy and well written. Way beyond and Before its time.
It was too lyrically smart for the 90's. There was too much dynamic range for radio to want to play in their over compressed playlists. An they wanted Canadian bands to be more like Bare Naked Ladies, not ones influenced by Santana because "that doesn't make sense."
Personally, I hear more Hendrix and Fripp and less Santana.
I think they were too damn good. It just went right over peoples heads.
They were kinda milder Canadian TOOL. And thats a compliment.
Is it just me or did the alternative/grunge sans 'no wave' movement, with SOUNDGARDEN & NIRVANA (my faves) just seem very late 1960s ; in essence?
I don't care for the lyrics at all & I must admit it's Alex Lifeson's 'Victor' that brought me here.
Alex 'Vampirello' Strangiato Life'Son' has got, as THE WHO would say - "such a supple wrist"
What a song!! That chorus rocks hard!! Very talented band indeed.
i havent heard much of them, but i hope the awesomeness of this song isnt just because of Alex
I remember driving through eastern saskatchewan early morning listening to this cd , another sunday was the perfect soundtrack for that moment. I saw IME live without Edwin and it was a great show the place went crazy, too bad Edwin is gone they had a good chemistry, not to dis the other guy he was a good performer.
Great tune - Thanks for posting - Why weren't they big?
