Lyrics:

I saw you yesterday my heart just up and flew away
I was so lead astray
‘Cause Baby you’re so cool

I am up for the task even though my heart is made of ash
I’ll need you, pray, and fast
‘Cause Baby you’re so cool

I’d come up with brand new lies refresh my alibis
Hardly ever make you cry
‘Cause Baby you’re so cool

I’d rob a liquor store then I’d go out and score
I couldn’t need you more
‘Cause Baby you’re so cool

CHORUS
I’d buy you anything
Slick fingered diamond rings
I’d even learn to sing
‘Cause you’re such a dirty thing
I’d even climb a tree get down on bended knee
I’d read your poetry
But, ooh, what you do to me

I’d give you a laurel wreath, quit smoking, brush my teeth
I’d go down underneath
‘Cause Baby you’re so cool

I’d come up with brand new lies
Refresh my alibis
Hardly ever make you cry
‘Cause Baby you’re so cool

CHORUS (x2)

Critics say:
“A supercharged mix of post-punk spirit channeled through garage-rock ambition. Wicked, brash and hellishly catchy.” -Lonely Vagabond
“Musically, the band sounds like a mish-mash of The Birthday Party’s tribal rhythms, The Cramps’ sleaziness and Iggy Pop’s naked aggression…boasts fat, vibrant guitars and drums that are occasionally gut-punching and bowel-reverberating.”-Chart Attack
