Sleater-Kinney - The Dog / The Body Lyrics






I'm just the dog, I'm just the body tonight
I'm just the fist without the will to fight
And when the shadow comes, I'll have a place to go and hide
You always said my head was what I'd never leave behind
I'm just a sketch, I'm just an outline tonight
I am the dog, I am the body, alright

Baby, baby, baby, I don't mind
Can't keep saying the same old lines
Baby, baby, baby, I don't mind
Gonna go and be alone
Baby, baby, baby, I don't mind
Can't see my way out of this night
Baby, baby, baby, I don't mind
If you go, I'll be alone

I'm just the prop, I'm just the puppet tonight
I'm just the trick without the magic, alright
And when the darkness comes
And I don't have the nerve, the might
Uninvite myself and turn out the light, goodnight

Baby, baby, baby, I don't mind
Can't keep saying the same old lines
Baby, baby, baby, I don't mind
Gonna go and be alone
Baby, baby, baby, I don't mind
Can't see my way out of this night
Baby, baby, baby, I don't mind
If you go, I'll be alone

If you wanna go
Can't find a reason not to leave
If you feel unknown
Can't find your name or the dream
Nothing feels like home
Can't find a wall to hold

Baby, baby, baby, I don't mind (Don't mind)
Can't keep saying the same old lines
Baby, baby, baby, I don't mind
Gonna go and be alone
Baby, baby, baby, I don't mind (Don't mind)
Can't see my way out of this night
Baby, baby, baby, I don't mind
If you go, I'll be alone
Baby, baby, I don't mind
I'm tired of saying the same old lines
Baby, baby, I don't mind
If you go, I'll be alone
(Don't mind)

I am the dog, I am the body tonight
If you hear me howl, know I made it out alive

Sleater-Kinney The Dog / The Body Comments
  1. S.... ....

    One of the best songs of the year

  2. a.... ....

    That’s a mesmerizing album cover

  3. R.... ....

    Sounds like a slow-dance-prom song somewhere from the 90's.

  4. _.... b....

    my favorite from the album 《3

  5. R.... ....

    I punched like on this song so hard it put a hole in my keyboard and broke my "liking" finger, but it was totally worth it. This song is fantastic

    R.... ....

    Lol. 100% agree about this song.

  6. J.... L....

    The drums leading into the first chorus... I feel like she’s playing on my sternum, it makes me feel the things. 😍💔

  7. J.... L....

    Favorite of this album, for sure. ❤️ I love S-K’s music so much, but “pretty” isn’t a word I use for it often (perfect, because usually I pick S-K for non-pretty moods), but this one is SO pretty.

  8. A.... W....

    This is the worst Sleater Kinney song I have ever heard.

  9. S.... ....

    The best song on TCWH. It's excellent.

    S.... ....

    I'd say it's tied with Ruins. That is an excellent fucking song.

  10. M.... G....

    So far my favorite of the album

  11. L.... J....

    This song is such a bop

  12. M.... Y....

    Inspired! Love it

  13. T.... I....

    Smiths/Cure ripoff at the outset. Then I fell asleep....

  14. C.... D....

    Great song!

  15. r.... ....

    This is a strong contender for my SOTY. Really digging the "anthem" sound.

    r.... ....

    funnily enough, the previous album had No Anthems :D

  16. W.... D....

    Cool :)

  17. K.... S....

    This is probably the most "classic rock" they've sounded since the The Woods, but a lot less grinding and acidic and a lot more sweet. I really enjoy this!

  18. S.... ....

    Made me cry. Amazing

  19. S.... G....

    Summer fun jam
