Sleater-Kinney - The Ballad Of A Ladyman Lyrics
Eye cream and thigh cream
how 'bout a get high cream?
Nothing I do smoothes out the feelings
of being used
The Ballad of a Ladyman
Freak that I am
Live in Japan
Let's rock with the tough girls
in this part of the world
Take a photograph
Portrait of a Ladyman
Are we holding on to our pride a bit too long
Are we breaking on guitars
Are we breaking you apart
They say I've gone too far
with the image I've got and
they know I'd make a mint
with new plastic skin
and a hit on the radio!
Oh, temptations of a ladyman
I could be demure like
girls who are soft
for boys who are fearful of
getting an earful
but I gotta rock!
I'd rather be a ladyman
Are we holding on to our pride a bit too long
Are we breaking on guitars
Are we breaking you apart
How many times will you decide
how many lives will you define
how much control should we give up of our lives
(You sit at home with an alibi
in case they call and ask you
why all you do is go
"ooh ahh ohh"
you're out of control but saying
"ooh ahh ooh")
Are we holding on to our pride a bit too long
Are we breaking on guitars
Are we breaking you apart
How many times will you decide
how many lives will you define
how much control should we give up of our lives
(You sit at home with an alibi
in case they call and ask you
why all you do is go
"ooh ahh ohh"
you're out of control but saying
"ooh ahh ooh")

3 girls, 2 guitars, 1 drums and a lot of great rock 'n roll streight outta Portland, Or.
No Janet in this upcoming tour makes me sad :( regardless I'm excited to see them.
@M B not sure why she left but she said it was to explore new opportunities on her insta.
@Erika Martinez thanks for the reply...have read the full stories now (I hadn't heard about this before I read your post)! Also going to see them soon. It's such a shame...at least it was an amicable split
@M B have fun! I'm so looking forward to the show with Corin and Carrie.
@Erika Martinez thanks, you too :-)
@M B 😄

Nothing I do smoothes out the feelings of being used
meu deus quanto tempo não escutava isso. minha infancia taí
❤️❤️❤️.. good call.
I adore this song and the album, I have read today in Carrie's memoir that in retrospect she likes this album the least which of course she is totally entitled to feel but, for me, it is right up there with anything they have ever done.
John Maskell I know....I read that too and I was like but this is top 3 holy
They aren't "good." That's the wrong word. It just doesn't fit at all.
nice pra carlho!
Beautiful.
.. A bit too long ?
My love for this band can't be put into words.... Thank you for your upload :D
thanks for spreading the love :-)
