This really feels like Nirvana was possibly even influenced by these guys. Seeing as though they were already a band and “discovered” by someone from the Pretenders. In 1981.
@@gravellane150 While the Femmes caught on in the early 80's, I don't think they actually found widespread recognition until the 90's when Nirvana and grunge rock had already taken over.
I kinda like it fast for a change. The words are still as amazing, maybe better hearing them more this way. Youre right though. Im a big femmes fan and I find its this one I wanna hear the most
Color me once, color me twice Everything gonna turn out nice Everlasting arms you gotta Keep me from these false alarms Alarm, alarm I see you sad Maybe I see you I'm glad Maybe maybe the fire of her desire Patience, patience said the man Patience, patience I can't understand Patience like a man and a wife I got patience On my neck like a cold, cold knife I say Jack be nimble Jack fall dead Jack bend over and give Jilly head Oh, you gotta help my body heal my soul Dead men working a sinner a saint Mixing up a pail of paint Painted the house, black as night When the sun came up the house was white Gotta go on, gotta go on We gotta go on, you gotta go on You gotta go on, go on, go on Try and live life like I couldn't
Too fast but probably because it's on TV...? One of my favorite. Love Brian!!!! What a band! My first tape at 12! I'm 39 now! Saw them live... they were soooo good!
