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")

  7. J.... M....

    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.

    J.... M....

    John Maskell I know....I read that too and I was like but this is top 3 holy

  8. S.... M....

    They aren't "good." That's the wrong word. It just doesn't fit at all.

  9. m.... ....

    nice pra carlho!

  10. J.... E....

    Beautiful.

    My love for this band can't be put into words.... Thank you for your upload :D
