St. Vincent - Birth In Reverse Lyrics






Oh, what an ordinary day
Take out the garbage, masturbate
I'm still holding for the laugh
The dogs will bark so let them bark
The birds will cry I'll let them cry
Here's my report from the edge

Like a birth in reverse
What I saw through the blinds
You could say that I'm saying phenomenal lies
On the cosmic eternity party line
Was a birth in reverse in America

This tune will haunt me through the war
Laugh all you want but I want more
Cause what I'm swearing, I've never sworn before

Like a birth in reverse
What I saw through the blinds
You could say that I'm saying phenomenal lies
On the cosmic eternity party line
Like a birth in reverse in America

Like a birth in reverse
What I saw through the blinds
You could say that I'm saying phenomenal lies
On the cosmic eternity party line
Was a birth in reverse in America

    This Johnny bullshit needs to stop.
    This song details my experience of monastic life with Buddhist monks.
    This second rate forgettable criminal mastermind eats the souls of people who want to gain enlightenment

  10. u.... s....

    Ill still never forgive my mom for not letting us see her in concert years ago simply because she thought her music was “weird.” How can you be so disinterested in your kid

    Listen to this band they have such a 90s vibe also love it St V! Listen to Amethyst by PAST REGRET #np on #SoundCloud
    https://soundcloud.com/chriscataldo1985/amethyst

  42. S.... D....

  47. L.... C....

    lindíssima

  48. c.... ....

    Never realized she released a MV for this song woah

  49. A.... O....

    The first St Vincent in the white dress does not look to me like one of the thousands of different beautiful women she is famed for being. However, on studying the phenomenon, I find the impersonator to be making very characteristic expressions. So it seems my facial recognition skills may be failing me.

  50. n.... t....

    PURE ART IN THE SHAPE OF A WOMAN

  51. R.... A....

    Love it 😍

  52. p.... ....

    I must not have known about this video somehow? Speechless

  53. N.... I....

    Love it.

  54. A.... C....

    sounded like at the drive in's 'one armed scissor'.

  55. J.... L....

    The ending guitar riff to this song blows me away every time.

  56. D.... M....

    She's so weird and talented. I'm in love

  57. M.... C....

    She's like a cross between Beck, David Byrne and PJ Harvey

  58. k.... r....

    St. Vincent sounds way more influenced by NIN and 90's pop rock than Kate Bush any day.

  59. M.... C....

    That Smokey guitar solo ending is amazing

  60. E.... H....

    i remember seeing her live in 2014, i didn't know one single song from her, i was there because the next in playing was damon albarn, but damn i fell in love with this girl and her music, she's a genius

  61. M.... B....

    Every time I watch this video I cant help but wonder who made that amazing dress! I want one!

  62. S.... D....

    To know that she's gay makes me so happy because I am gay too and she gives me so much inspiration to focus on what I am passionate about in my life. Love you Annie💖😘

  63. O.... K....

    0:21 GASP

  64. s.... ....

    I love this song but can some one explain to me why the notes in this song are like bass boosted? Thats something i could never figure out in this song. This is like the first song ive heard from this band

    s.... ....

    its a st vincent signature, i suppose. she LOVES distortion in her music

  65. P.... G....

    the fucking best

  66. m.... ....

    I swear to get her guitar riffs she just fucks around with the strings at 1 am and it becomes a wonderful song

  67. f.... L....

    Parasol - Queen of the Stone Age

  68. J.... J....

    Am the only one to whom the final riff sounds a bit ike Soundgarden's Rusty Cage?

  69. S.... S....

    I have to be honest, I've loved St. Vincent for a long time and she's responsible for some of my favourite albums of all time. But I never "got" this album; something never clicked with me in the same way say, Marry Me or Actor have. I often hear it called her best album and I've never understood why. It's not a bad album, far from it, but it's probably my least favourite of her albums. I'm glad it's given Annie more recognition and everything, and it's great she won a grammy and everything for it. I don't want to make it sound like I'm annoyed that she "sold out" or anything, because I absolutely don't think she did - it's purely that this album's sound didn't click with me; and I love MASSEDUCTION - in fact, it's probably my second favourite behind Actor.

    I just suppose I've never understood what people love about this album. I would love to know why people love this album so much. I wish I could appreciate it as much as other people seem to do.

    S.... S....

    Soupman Stevens you like more chamber pop ,this is not. There you go

  70. t.... ....

    I'm so sad that I wasted years not letting Annie Clark shred my face off, but so happy to have found the light, even if belated.

    t.... ....

    Seriously this. I had never heard of her until last week and then I got bumped into an alternate universe where Annie is the queen. She is something else.

    t.... ....

    I'm feel the same!!!

    t.... ....

    Me too, after years of hearing about St Vincent I finally started checking out Annie's music last year around March. Wish I had gone there earlier, but have happily been listening since, old and new. Have seen her in concert and bought the guitar. Not a crazed fan, bought the guitar because it is great and I have been a shitty guitar player for 30 years. I have played shitty guitar on over 20 great guitars over that time and Annie's remains the one I am happiest to play like crap on. Beating my '75 LP Goldtop, 1991 PRS, 1978 Ibanez PF 300, '67 Fire Engine Red Gretch Monkees, 2009 Airline Map. But definitely not my all Maple 1968 Guild Starfire III. I guess I just wanted to boast about my old guitar collection, but Annie's Ernie Ball rocks...seriously...other than my '68 Guild it is the best and so is her music.

    t.... ....

    i am so late to the party. but i'm going back to the first ones

  71. M.... S....

    It's like lemonade on a warm summer day , or waking , baking and bating? Enjoy your day and thanks for the refreshments

  72. m.... ....

    A bit of One Arm Scissor from ATDI in this song...

  73. d.... ....

    ...this is like an Einstein dream
    where time and space
    and sound bend
    and curve:
    sing

  74. S.... N....

    if ur cool Aunt made pop rock

  75. M.... N....

    this is weird as fuuuuck
    not bad, but weird

  76. E.... J....

    Amazing!

  77. �.... ....

    Love this!

  78. d.... l....

    if you play this and digital witness at the same time you unlock the lesbian anthem

  79. �.... �....

    Here because of guitar hero.

  80. S.... T....

    Kinda sounds like a less polished Garbage, if you replaced the trip hop influences with synthpop.

  81. J.... P....

    This music is amazing!

  82. A.... F....

    Annie that blonde hair though😍😘

  83. y.... ....

    well someone was inspired by early-XTC

  84. J.... A....

    Annie is a white supremacist confirmed at 1:34

  85. J.... R....

    she's gweat

  86. A.... ....

    reminds me of david garza's this euphoria album

  87. v.... e....

    This is St.Vincents Ziggy Stardust Album

  88. A.... H....

    This song is about... fisting?

  89. B.... K....

    She should’ve made a video for Prince Johnny instead

  90. J.... K....

    this song reminds me of no doubt

  91. d.... ....

    looks like dave grohl's wive

  92. A.... Z....

    well said

  93. B.... O....

    Will miss this era like fuck

  94. l.... ....
