about

A unique cover of a song by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, re-interpreted from a cover done by the incomparable Tori Amos.

lyrics

Jody wears her hat although it hasn't rained for six days
She says a girl needs a gun on account of those Rattlesnakes

She looks like Eva Marie Saint in "On the Waterfront"
She reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance

She's less than sure if her heart has come to stay in San Jose
And her never born child haunts her now as she speeds down the freeway
As she tries her luck with the traffic police out of boredom more than spite
She never finds no trouble, she tires too hard
She is obvious despite herself

She looks like Eva Marie Saint in "On the Waterfront"
She says all she needs is therapy
"All you need is love, is all you need."

Jody never sleeps 'cause there are always needles in the hay
She says a girl needs a gun these days on account of the Rattlesnakes

She looks like Eva Marie Saint in "On the Waterfront"
She reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
Her heart's like crazy paving, upside down and back to front
She says "Oh, it's so hard to love when love was your great disappointment."

On account of those Rattlesnakes
She says a girl needs a gun these days
