about

written by Kristin Hersh - an acoustic demo of this song was released online in 2010, and then the full-band arrangement was included on the 2013 Throwing Muses album "Purgatory/Paradise" - adapted by Jed Drummond - this song also appears in my Kristin Hersh tribute project "Guitar Drag", a collaboration between myself on vocals and electric baritone guitar and Nicolette Emanuelle on cello - look for recordings of that project to be recorded and released eventually!

lyrics

what makes you gold-flecked? you
talk backwards like i do
hold still your cold voodoo
just smacked her upside the head

blood squeezed thru your veins
you wear memories as false pain
who better than you to bless her
baptize the dead

all's fair in New Orleans
so spend the night whispering
can't stand the heat
get out of here
warm blooded cold hearted
you can't finish what you started
can't stand the heat
get out of here

clear sailing murky water
you're still the smoothest talker
all twisted up ham-fisted
you don't want the devil's daughter
wasted inebriated
you don't her but you brought her here

all's fair in New Orleans
so spend the night whimpering
can't stand the heat
get out of here
warm blooded cold hearted
you can't finish what you started
can't stand the heat
get out of here

one step backwards
you lost your way
your haunted virtue
you threw it away

Arum is astonishingly talented, and a wonderful human being to boot. Her voice and presence slew me the first time i heard her sing years ago, and only continue to do so. Jed Drummond
