"Skeleton Key" - Margot and the Nuclear So & So's

hello all,

sending this song out ...i think i sent it before, but you know, new people on the list, and bad memory permits me to resend. on top of that __ski-badoski likes this song so, here you go (thanks for letting me drop in on you at sunset, it stoked me all day long, you badoski, you)....andrew come here, punk!

well, at first i fell in love with the melody of this song. sounds innocent enough, right? well, then i heard more and more and just love the melody, it's really not that elementary. it's a rather complex and intricately honest story...i'm thinking it's about a guy that cheats on a girl or a guy that was involved with a girl that was cheating on her man and leading him on.

this song definitely found its relevance in me and some of the dumb shit i've done before and/or allowed to happen to me. i'm telling you, sometimes, i think i value music so much because it lets me know i'm not lance armstrong in my shortcomings. either way, many sorrows would've floated if this song was to have been around when i was, say 15-19 years old? all the wiser, all the reminders, wrapped up in a nice whole wheat tortilla for your listening pleasure.

enjoy

SKELETON KEY
I did a sick, sick thing to my love
My lack of loyalty, it swallowed her up
And she cooked me food
She squirmed and turned
Like a skeleton key
She left her man and attended to me

And don't call me that
Don't claim you love me
Cause you know that ain't true
My dire affliction I'll attribute to you

And you're finally free
To twist and turn
Like a skeleton key

You've gotta let me know
You've gotta let me know

I did a horrible thing to that girl
I bread my misery and drowned it in her
And she got me high
And I hardly noticed there were tears in her eyes

And I miss you less and less everyday
This stream of whisky's helped to wash you away

And it's clear to see
You're nothing special
You're a skeleton key

You've gotta let me know
You've gotta let me know
You've gotta let me know
You've gotta let me know
