lyrics

I watched you walk in, all black and leather honey
I watched you talk tough, play rough, lay your money down
I hoped you’d walk up, a hand around my waist and grab me
Maybe tell me I’m the best thing you’ve seen in a while (instead of standing around)

We got a spark but it’s not quite a fire
Let’s get it burning with a touch of desire

It’s so cruel (and awful honey)
Me and you (and it ain’t funny)
I’m no fool (But I think I could be)
Me and you… I think we oughta
settle on down and get it right next time around

Next time I met you, we were painting the town
You called me Bette Davis, Joan Jett, the queen of downtown
Back at your place we were fooling around
I couldn’t help myself, you got me sugar, tear me on down… (yeah, you can tear me on down)

We had a spark but it’s looking like a fire now
Let’s get it burning with a touch of desire now

It’s so cruel (and awful honey)
Me and you (and it ain’t funny)
I’m no fool (But I think I could be)
Me and you I think we oughta
settle on down and get it right next time around

I thought I could have been the one for you
I got to meet your ex wife, I met your girlfriend too

It’s so cruel (and awful honey)
Me and you (and it ain’t funny)
I’m no fool (But I think I could be)
It’s so cruel (and awful honey)
Me and you (and it ain’t funny)
I’m no fool (But I think I could be)
Me and you I think we oughta
Settle on down and get it right another time around

Years
by Sarah Shook & the Disarmers

supported by 17 fans who also own “It's So Cruel”

There's only one track on this whole album I don't adore. The other nine would be my favorite track on almost any other album they stumbled into. "Years" is like the perfect Best Of album for a band that's been steadily putting out records for decades. 'Caroline Reese and the Drifting Fifth' level stuff here. burrito741

That's How Rumors Get Started
by Margo Price

supported by 17 fans who also own “It's So Cruel”

Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like MARGO PRICE! She presents easy going country pop, smooth and with pleasant vocals, reminding me sometimes even at Stevie Nicks. The title track is one of my favourites, but also the other songs are catchy and performed with smooth energy, H.L.
