Veruca Salt - Celebrate You Lyrics
I'll wear my patent leather shoes
and my golden fleeces.
A feather in my hair for you,
and then I'll fall to pieces
at your celebration.
We're quiet as two mannequins,
feasting on silences.
We wait for Christmas to begin,
to see the cracking faces.
I tip my glass and toast to you;
the blood spills on the carpet
at your celebration.
celebration [x2] celebrate you.
And in the dream you held a gun.
You killed off all who hurt you,
who would not dare desert you.
I'm safe here growing in the shade,
away from all your brightness.
I lost my innocence today,
when I learned how to write this.
Tonight my nightgown is in knots.
I toss and turn in your honor.
I'll never know just what I've got
as long as you're my father.
And I'll keep searching here for you,
I'll clean out every corner.
It's not my fault [x5]

Veruca Salt Celebrate You Comments
The incredible bass, vocals, lyrics and the wonder of this musical masterpiece will forever be a piece of my soul.
I really like the brief guitar lead at the climax of the song too. A really charming facet of this album is how Louise's songs tended to feature more vocal harmonies for Nina and Nina's songs tended to feature bigger guitar solos for Louise. They absolutely were in harmony when writing this album, supporting each other's weaknesses, highlighting each other's strengths.
@Alexios K Thank you. Even live, this band nails every song. Celebrate you, Alexios!
I miss such music
C'est chouette de re-écouter des trucs comme les Veruca. Ca fait revenir en arrière les années ou on étaient jeunots dans nos rèves et tout. Puis nous sommes allés voir autre part pour ne pas abimer ce qui était. Quel voyage !
Holy Crap, that opening riff, I just realized that Tenacious D lifted it for "Wonderboy"
It's not even the same notes. The songs just happen to be on the same key and are using the same chord progression at the start.
I meant to say.." a bit chilling" We English Teachers must be perfect.
Go VS...
Really l missed most of the 90's roaming and teaching English in Buenos Aires..Discovered this lately
Truly a song with a distant spirit of it's own..Brilliant yet a but chilling..You can find me on YouTube singing Ana Barcelona..
I performed as the lead singer/rhythm guitar player in a post punk/new wave band from 1977-1982, so yeah . . . I'm older than fuck! However, bands such as Veruca Salt, Eves Plum, The Breeders (to name a few) WAY UNDERRATED!!!
You stopped the year I was born... What was your band called?
I love their first album, it's so true and authentic... I loved that in the 90s such bands still could appear on music TV ... I like their new album Ghost Notes too but not so much as American Thighs
Awesome composition. The mood and lyrics match perfectly too.
I think this song is about an abused girl by her father or perhaps on a Monarch programming victim
Esteban Jaramillo I thought it was about two sisters watching their dad remarry some other lady not their mom and they're like....!
i miss grunge. fuck the music now a days
I completely agree! Fuck I emphatically agree!
Rad 1997 I agree. I wish grunge would become popular again. I miss those grunge girl days.
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT VERUCA SALT PHOTOS FROM BACK IN THE DAY (1996). They're part of the gallery of female rockers in FEMALE ROCK PHOTOS BY RONALD VAUGHAN (on amazon.com). Also FEMALE ROCK REVIEWS.
American Thighs is one of my most treasured possessions.
Ever heard of Lucid Rivers?

Daniel Herrera-Mata those are all the best alternative bands of the day. I miss their music. music today sucks! well at least 90 percent of it. I can't stand R&B and rap.
Daniel Herrera-Mata Sunny Day yeaa
same here
will be ripping it up with VS in SF on Thursday!!!!
OMG So Jealous!!! Let us all know how amazing it is PLEASE?!
IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!! THEY STILL KICK ASS!!!!
3 ENCORES!!!!
I cry every time I sing along! So much energy in this song
pamelamathilde it makes me cry too! I’ve used this song to describe my abusive childhood and relationship with my stepfather. Lyrics couldn’t have been more perfect
This is my favorite VS song. Beyond excited about their reunion.
Wow great! Just went to their official Facebook page. Original members reunited. New album next year. Exactly 20 years after American Thighs was released. :-)
Sexiest couple EVER
Yeh Really
Because the song is so great it doesn't need a video. :-) I like all Veruca Salt songs. I wish Nina and Louise reconcile and bring back the original VS.
THIS SONG IS WONDERFUL
notice how no one has disliked this video :D
"and in the dream you held a gun, you killed off all who hurt you, and left me there the only one who would not dare dessert you." beautiful song. Reminds me of a girl I used to know..
mmm... dessert
I still have this cd. :D
paying my respects to a long lost but never forgotten melody... So happy I found this thanks for posting.
Their music is hauntingly beautiful. They stir the deepest parts of my soul.
@squint2focus do it yourself! :)
One of my favorite songs by them. They're sooo underrated and forgotten about. Wish I could write lyrics like these!
@MrSocietygangrape Thanks for watching my awesome iMovie skills in action.
@squint2focus Unfortunately, no.
Greatest Band Ever! Anyone know where to get old-school VS shirts/gear?
