Chick Singers

Lyrics

Well this bald headed girl I know sent me a tape of Bjork and Courtney
 Love
 And PJ Harvey, called it brilliant women
 I put it in my car, heard it all the way down to the coast
 Normally if left to my own devices I don't hear chich singers much
 I guess it's guys I hear the most
 Sometimes these days don't it seem like it's enough for
 Girls to love a girl or
 Use the f word prominently
 Masturbate in public or
 Learn guitar tied up to a post
 I thought of all this hearing Bjork and Courtney Love and PJ Harvey
 In my car driving to the coast
 Tori Amos, Liz Phair, Sinead O'Connor, Suzanne Vega, Jill Sobule
 Melissa Etheridge
 Tracy Chapman, Ani Difranco, Michelle Shocked
 Everyone of them has something kind of special that I like
 But every now and then while listening to them I feel like when we were
 Kids
 I pulled their hair or stole their bike
 These days it seems like there's a lot of girls who sing and some of
 Them are good and
 Some of them are not, but it's always kind of cool that
 Moment when they first step to the mike
 If I was a girl I could sing real high and also then I'd know what
 Having
 Breasts would be like
 Chick singers
 Chick singers
 Chick singers
 I started thinking 'bout
 Kate Bush, Patsy Cline, Billy Holiday, Janis Joplin, Bessie Smith, Patti
 Smith
 Annie Lennox, Chrissie Hynde, and Bonnie Raitt
 Seems like there's an awful lot of women in whose honor I would
 Like to raise my glass to in a toast
 Some of them are still alive and some I hear their voices like a ghost
 Maybe next Thursday I'll throw a party and invite every woman that
 Ever sang a song, oh, this would be a party that I think I would like to
 Be the host
 Thanks to the bald headed girl I know whose tape of Bjork and Courtney
 Love and PJ Harvey I heard driving to the coast
 Chick singers
 Chick singers
 Chick singers
