"Hot & Heavy" Lyrics:
Being back here makes me hot in the face.
Hot blood in my pulsing veins,
heavy memories weighing on my brain.
Hot and heavy in the basement of your parents' place.
You used to be so sweet.
Now you're a firecracker on a crowded street.
Couldn't look away even if I wanted.
Try to walk away but I come back to the start.

Led me to the floor even though I'm not a dancer.
Asked me all the questions that your parents wouldn't answer.
How could I deny a diamond in the rough?
You let me in your world until you had enough.

You knew that I wanted you to bend the rules.
How did I believe I had a hold on you?
You were always stronger than people suspected.
Underestimated and overprotected.

When I went away it was the only option.
Couldn't trust myself to proceed with caution.
The most that could give to you was nothing at all.
The best that I could offer was to miss your calls.

Being back here makes me hot in the face.
Hot blood in my pulsing veins,
heavy memories weighing on my brain.
Hot and heavy in the basement of your parents’ place.
You used to be so sweet.
Now you're a firecracker on a crowded street.
Couldn't look away even if I wanted.
Try to walk away but I come back to the start.
And it happens over and over and over and over again.
Over and over and over and over again.
I wish I was over it, over it, over it, over it.

A hidden gem,
my own gold mine.
You had the wide and wild eyes.
You were a secret to yourself
you couldn't keep from anyone else.
Now you're the biggest brightest flame.
You are a fire that can't be tamed.
You're better than ever but I knew you when.
It's bittersweet to see you again.

Lyrics:
Clasping your necklace,
zipping your dress,
hands on your waist,
kissing your neck.
I love your body.
I love your mind.
They will change.
So will mine,
but you are-

my best guess at the future,
you are my best guess.
If I were a gambling man, and I am,
you’d be my best bet.

Tracing your tan line,
making you mine.
If this doesn’t work out,
I’ll lose my mind.
And after a while
I will be fine,
but I don’t wanna be fine.
I want you, you, you are-

my best guess at the future,
you are my best guess.
If I were a gambling man, and I am,
you’d be my best bet.

Here is the church.
Here is the steeple.
You were looking for saints
but you only found people.
Ain’t that just the way it goes?
I watched you fall from grace, you were graceful.
After all, it’s a small world.
You may not be an angel,
but you are my girl.
You are my pack a day.
You are my favorite place.
You were my best friend before you were-

my best guess at the future,
you are my best guess.
If I were a gambling man, and I am,
you’d be my best bet.

You are my best guess at the future,
you are my best guess.
If I were a gambling man, and I am,
you’d be my best bet.

Lyrics:
What if we don’t touch?
What if we only talk about what we want
and cannot have?
And I’ll throw a fit
if it’s all I can do
If it’s the thought that counts
let’s think it through
So bite me on the shoulder
pull my hair
and let me touch you where I want to-
there, there, there, there, there
Pull me by the ankles to the edge of the bed
and take me like you do in your dreams
I’m not gonna stop you, I’m not gonna stop you this time, baby
I want you to show me what you mean
then help me with the crossword in the morning
You are gonna make me tea
gonna ask me how did I sleep
Agent of chaos
angel of death
one of three ancient fates
playing with your scissors again
How lucky are we to have so much to lose?
Now don’t move when I tell you what to do
Pull me by the ankles to the edge of the bed
and take me like you do in your dreams
I’m not gonna stop you, I’m not gonna stop you this time, baby
I want you to show me what you mean
then help me with the crossword in the morning
You are gonna make me tea
gonna ask me how did I sleep

Lyrics:

Natalie’s explaining limerence between taking
hits from a blunt, high as a kite,
while Roddy’s playing GTA.
I swear, why is he so good at this game?
It should be cause for concern.
I’m just shoveling popcorn into my mouth
so I don’t say the things that I’m thinking out loud.

I’m thinking about breaking your heart someday soon.
And if I do, I’ll be breaking mine too.

If I stay busy, maybe I’ll forget how I feel and go on
living life as I planned it.
So bring on the parties, I wanna go dancing,
my arm ‘round the waist of a friendly acquaintance,
toeing the line of betraying your trust.
Why do I feel alive when I’m behaving my worst?

Is there a difference between lying to you
if it feels just as bad as telling the truth?
I know that there is, and I’ll know what I’ll pick.

I want what we have, our beautiful life,
but the stillness, the stillness, might eat me alive.

You are gonna make me tea,
gonna ask me how did I sleep.

"I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore" Lyrics:
I don’t wanna be funny anymore.
I don’t wanna be funny anymore.
Lately, I’ve been feeling like the odd man out.
I hurt my friends saying things I don’t mean out loud.
I don’t wanna be funny anymore.
I got a too short skirt, maybe I can be the cute one.
Is there room in the band? I don’t need to be the front man.
If not, then I’ll be the biggest fan.
I don’t want the joke to be on me.
Yeah, I’ll buy the clothes and I’ll be the best dressed.
Yeah, I’ll read the books and I’ll be the smartest.
I’ll play guitar and I’ll be the artist.
Try not to laugh.
I know it’ll be hard.
I’m serious.
I know it’s a first but…
I don’t wanna be funny anymore.
Yeah, I’ll be the gossip. Hear it through the grapevine.
Pass it on, she’s done with the old times.
That funny girl doesn’t wanna smile for a while.

Night Shift - Lyrics:

The first time I tasted somebody else’s spit, I had a coughing fit.
I mistakenly called them by your name.
I was let down it wasn’t the same.

I’m doing fine, trying to derail my one track mind,
regaining my self-worth in record time,
but I can’t help but think of you other in the bed that was mine.

Am I a masochist, resisting urges to punch you in the teeth, call you a bitch and leave?
Why did I come here? To sit and watch you stare at your feet?
What was the plan? Absolve your guilt and shake hands?

I feel no need to forgive but I might as well,
but let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt.
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down.
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell.

Don’t hold your breath. Forget you ever saw me at my best.
You don’t deserve what you don’t respect.
Don’t deserve what you say you love and then neglect.

Now bite your tongue. It’s too dangerous to fall so young.
Take back what you said.
Can’t lose what you never had.

I feel no need to forgive but I might as well,
but let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt.
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down.
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell.

You got a 9 to 5, so I’ll take the night shift
and I’ll never see you again if I can help it.
In five years I hope the songs feel like covers,
dedicated to new lovers.

Lyrics:
Rachel was a year older
when I was in the second grade.
I thought she might know everything.
I took her word like a golden ring.
I asked her how to win my man
and she said, “I know just the thing.”
Gave me lipgloss and a hair toss
and, after school, a lesson in kissing.
She called me by the name of her crush,
I couldn't decide if she was Cole or Justin.
I think I called her baby or darling most the time.
We’d take turns being seduced,
imagining the day it would come into use,
imagining the day we’d start breaking hearts
and taking names.
She wanted a three story house.
I wanted to live by a body of water
with my children and their father,
children and their father,
three sons and a beautiful daughter.

Rachel’s family moved out of town.
I don't remember when we stopped hanging out,
but I still wear a letter R charm on my bracelet
and wonder if she thinks of me as her first kiss

Lyrics:
You hung up the phone
And I asked you what was wrong
Your dad has come to town
He'd like to meet
I said, "You don't have to see him"
But for whatever reason, you can't tell him no

So we meet him at a bar
You were holding my hand hard
He ordered rum and Coke
I can't drink either anymore
He hadn't seen you since the fifth grade
Now you're nineteen and you're 5'8"
He said, "Honey, you sure look great
Do you get the checks I send on your birthday?"

I would kill him
If you let me
I would kill him
Quick and easy
Your nails are digging
Into my knee
I don't know how you keep smiling

I love your eyеs
And he has 'em
Or you have his
'Causе he was first
I imagine my thumbs on the irises
Pressing in until they burst

I clear my throat
And say we ought to get home
He offers us a ride
I reply, "No, that's alright"
And when we leave
You feel him watching
So we walk a mile in the wrong direction

I would kill him
If you let me
I would kill him
Quick and easy
Your nails are digging
Into my knee
I don't know how you keep smiling

I wanna take your face between my hands and say:
"You two are connected by a pure coincidence
Bound to him by blood, but baby, it's all relative
You've been in his fist ever since you were a kid
But you don't owe him shit even if he said you did
You don't owe him shit even if he said you did"

"Brando" Lyrics:

You told me to skip school
to go with you to the movies.
You knew you were uncool,
but you thought you could fool me.
They play oldies in the afternoon
for the elderly and me and you.
Fred and Ginger, black and white.
I watch you watch 'It's A Wonderful Life'.

You called me cerebral.
I didn't know what you meant.
But now I do. Would it have killed you
to call me pretty instead?
I'm in a second story window
and you're yelling at me "Stella!"
and I'm laughing cause you think you're Brando
but you'll never come close.

All I need for you to admit
is that you never knew me like you thought you did.
You never knew me like you thought you did,
like you thought you did.

You say, "Here's lookin' at you kid,"
thinking I wouldn't understand the reference.
You admit, you think we're fated.
I'll be lucky if I'm your third wife.
That's only something you would say in the car.
We've been breathing the same air for too long.
If the snow wasn't coming down so hard,
I would open the door and walk home.
It's only a couple miles.
What could go wrong
if I hitch a ride with a guy in a pick up
who doesn't know left from right from wrong?

All I need for you to admit
is that you never knew me like you thought you did.
You never knew me like you thought you did,
like you thought you did.

All I need for you to admit
is that you never knew me like you thought you did.
You never knew me like you thought you did,
like you thought you did.

"Triple Dog Dare" Lyrics:
I'm not tired yet.
We still got a lot to figure out,
like what was the end of the movie about, anyways?
You're yawning on your couch.
I wonder if I've overstayed my welcome
until you ask me if I'd like to take a walk.
We're going to the five and dime,
the only open place at this time of night.
You're dancing in the aisle cause the radio
is singing a song you know.
The kid at the counter is gawking at your grace.
I can tell what he's thinking by the look on his face.
It's not his fault, I'm sure I look the same.
It's what you do, but it's not you I blame.

Your mama read my palm.
She wouldn't tell me what it was she saw,
but after that, you weren't allowed to spend the night.
I'm staring at my hands.
Red, ruddy skin I don't understand.
How did they betray me? What did I do?
I never touched you how I wanted to.
What can I say to your ma to let you come outside?
You know I'll be seeking if you run and hide.
If the door were to open, would you walk through the frame?
If you're too afraid, it won't be you I blame.

You passed a note in class,
told me to meet you at the overpass.
Your lip was trembling when you said that we are cursed.
You're trying not to cry
when you tell me you're afraid that we may die.
I said, “So what?
Everybody's scared of that.”
I want you to tell me that you miss me,
want you to hold and hurt and kiss me.
I want to run away and live on your family's boat.
It's a triple dog dare, you're a chicken if you don't.
I can fish for our food and you know how to start a flame.
If you don't get out now, you'll only have yourself to blame.

You said, “You have me there,
if it's a triple dog dare.”
A triple dog dare
A triple dog dare…

They put our faces on the milk jugs.
Missing children til they gave up.
Your mama was right, and through the grief
can't fight the feeling of relief.
Nothing worse can happen now.
Nothing worse can happen now.
Nothing worse can happen now.

"Partner in Crime" Lyrics:
When I asked you to coffee
could you tell I don't drink it?
When I got to the cafe,
could you tell what I was thinking?
My heart's on my sleeve.
It's embarrassing.
The pulpy thing, beating.

When you asked my age, I lied.
I saw relief dawn on your eyes.
It's not your fault, it's mine.
Let the record show,
I walked in on my own.

Knee deep in the city that never sleeps,
I lay down in the middle of the street.
Lamplight like parallel suns,
crowding out the early morning stars.
Concrete holding heat from the daytime.
Picking petals to see if you will be mine.
Do you love me, do you love me not?
Do you love me, do you love me not?
Do you love me, do you love me not?
Do you love me, do you love me not?

You were my partner in crime.
It was a welcomed waste of time.
Eating cherries on the bridge,
feet dangling,
throwing the pits and stems
into the racing current below.
I get vertigo looking down
and looking in.

Drop me off at the curb by my curfew,
around the corner so nobody sees you.
You drop a hint that you got a girlfriend.
I try my best not to take it.
I wanna run my fingers through you.
You say nobody understands you like I do,
but do you love me, do you love me not?
Do you love me, do you love me not?
Do you love me, do you love me not?
Do you love me, do you love me not?

"Cartwheel" Lyrics:
Here and there and gone again.
Firefly juice on your skin.
You’re glowing like an atom bomb.
This natural thing that you've undone.
Outgrew older sister’s clothes again.
Won’t admit you're growing tall and thin.
You like your body pulling at the seams.
You're not prepared for what the future brings.
Curse words and empty cups,
cracked blacktop curling up.
Heat wave by midday,
heat lightning on a summer night, and
I remember when you used to call
holed up in the closet in the hall,
scared you wouldn't live to 45,
the same age as your father when he died.
You’d say, “We need to talk.
Sneak out, meet me on your block.”
I'd sit by you silent on the curb.
What to say when there is not a word?
Spell broke at day break.
Light another candle on the cake.
Cartwheel and a broken wrist.
Skin scarred and sun kissed.

When you told me ‘bout your first time,
a soccer player at the senior high,
I felt my body crumple to the floor.
Betrayal like I’d never felt before.
I thought back to many years ago,
a late night promise on the telephone.
We’d built a house of twigs and vines,
grow old together just to pass the time.
Now there's only past and present day.
I can't believe a word you say.
The future isn't worth its weight in gold.
The future is a benevolent black hole.

"First Time" Lyrics:
Broke into the screened in porch,
now I'm crawling through the dog door.
I may let you see me on my knees,
but you'll never see me on all fours.
Drooling on the tile,
I'm a starfish on the kitchen floor.
Catch my breath to breathe your name.
I am just the fool you took me for.
Uh huh.

You can't feel it for the first time a second time.
You can’t feel it for the first time a second time.

You gave me your hands
‘cause you didn't know what to do with them
and I showed you the way
even though I'd never been.
Where did we go right?
I think about it all the time.
If I had paid closer attention
maybe I could take us back to there and then.

But you can't feel it for the first time a second time.
You can't feel it for the first time a second time.
I can't go back to who I was before I met you.
I can't undo what I've done, and I wouldn't want to.
I wouldn't want to.
I wouldn't want to.

Sneaking out of the house,
I must be out of my mind.
I'm running out of excuses.
We’re running out of time.
You say the love will come and go.
We’ll learn to ride the ebb and flow.
You always leave before the light,
come back same time and place the next night.

And how will I know
if history repeats itself?
How will I know
when it's gonna come back around?
How will I know?
Has my face changed, baby?
How will I know?
I'll stay ready for you to take me
take me
take me
take me

"VBS" Lyrics:
In the summer of '07
I was sure I'd go to Heaven,
but I was hedging my bets
at VBS.
A preacher in a t-shirt
told me I could be a leader,
taught me how to build a fire,
and to spread the word.

In the evening everybody
went to worship and weep.
Hands above our heads,
reaching for God.
Back in the cabin,
snorting nutmeg in your bunkbed,
you were waiting for a revelation
of your own.

Sedentary secrets
like peach pits in your gut,
locked away like jam jars
in the cellar of your heart,
waiting to be tasted
and ultimately wasted.
You were gonna win me over
from the start.

Your poetry was so bad,
it took a lot to not laugh.
You said that I showed you the light,
but all it did,
in the end,
was make the dark feel
darker than before.

Your dad keeps his sleeves down
through the summer for a reason.
Your mother wears her makeup
extra thick for a reason.
When I tell you, you were born
and you are here for a reason,
you are not convinced the reason
is a good one.

While you're going to sleep
your mind keeps you awake,
and it makes your heart beat
fast and loud.
There's nothing you can do,
but the only thing you found:
playing Slayer at full volume helps
to drown it out.

Your poetry was so bad,
it took a lot to not laugh.
You said that I showed you the light,
but all it did,
in the end,
was make the dark feel
darker than before.
Dark feel darker than before.
Dark feel darker than before.

Lucy Dacus - Tom Courtenay (Yo La Tengo cover)

Lucy Dacus 2020-04-30 | The 25th Anniversary of Yo La Tengo's 'Electr-o-pura' (1995) pressed for the first time on 2xLP. Stream / purchase: ylt.ffm.to/electr-o-pura
Read Lucy Dacus' essay on the album below.

----

I was born on May 2, 1995, the day that Electr-o-pura came out.

Fourteen years later, I started high school and made a new friend who wore a leather jacket and boots, who expressed confident opinions about music that I had never heard. I devoured every recommendation they gave me in an effort to align my tastes. I wanted to be cool, or at least not uncool. I found out about The Stooges, Philip Glass, and Sonic Youth through my effort to win their approval. I loved it all, and my parents hated every new discovery. Cool was loud.

One day my friend brought me a stack of CDs, all Yo La Tengo, and told me to take them home, listen to them, burn them, and return them. I did what I was told. I liked those records from the start, and more with every listen. I’d lay in bed listening to one of their records, pause the song I was listening to when I got too tired, then push play upon waking.

I remember my confusion upon listening to Electr-o-pura for the first time. I referenced the tracklist on the back of the CD so I could learn titles, but the printed song durations didn’t match up to what I was hearing. I wondered if there was some manufacturing error and I wasn’t hearing the songs I was supposed to hear. “Flying Lesson (Hot Chicken #1)” is listed as lasting just over three minutes when it’s actually 6:42. “Blue Line Swinger” says it’s 3:15, but actually clocks in at 9:18. I know now from looking into it that Yo La Tengo intentionally misprinted the times, trying to combat short attention spans, hoping they would trick people into giving those long songs a chance. It tricked me, though I’m a sucker for long songs anyways. It’s interesting to think about how this move couldn’t be pulled today in a world of digitized music. And if people had short attention spans then, how short are they now? All to say, I liked that they were playful.

What kept me coming back to Yo La Tengo was their understanding of moods. I listened to bands that knew anger, bands that knew sadness, but I didn’t know of any other bands that could express a full life’s range of moods the way they can. From song to song, the music was anxious, celebratory, sorrowful, content, confused, etc. And even when they got loud or dissonant, it never felt hostile. The sounds could be harsh, even ugly, but they were joyful. Some songs could make me cry, but they were gentle, not malevolent. I was taking on someone else’s tastes, and in the process, discovering my own.

Tom Courtenay was the first Yo La Tengo song I learned on guitar. I didn’t know what it meant, but I knew who Julie Christie was and loved the line, “As the music swells somehow stronger from adversity / our hero finds his inner peace.” I didn’t know what the needle had to do with anything, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It was like any good poem, leaving space for me, between images. Now, I think the song may be about obsession with media, equating the allure of the movies and movie stars to drug addiction. Who knows, that’s just my take.

Eventually, when Matador asked to sign me, the fact that Yo La Tengo is on their roster was a major component of my decision. They’ve been putting out great albums every couple of years for over three decades, experimenting and exploring with what seems to be an uncompromised creativity. That is worth celebrating, especially now, when any opportunity for celebration is a blessing. Happy 25th birthday to Electr-o-pura, and thanks for the music, Yo La Tengo.
