I’m not a fan of Curve, but I really do like this song. Maybe it’s because it’s “accessible” (whatever that means. IMO, any good music is “accessible”, regardless of genre or style), or maybe because it’s got a cool beat, or maybe it’s because Toni Holliday is really hot in the video, or maybe it’s because the video is so tremendously unintentionally funny (I’ve never seen a Moog taken so seriously in my life).
Whatever, it’s a good song. It does have a good beat, you can dance to it, or sing along with it, or simply listen to it. It works.
Here’s a link to the video (seriously, it’s so overblown it’s quite funny…I could see it being a favorite on Sprockets).
And of course. the lyrics:
She burns friends like a piece of wood
And she’s jealous of me because she never could
Hold herself up without a spine
And she’ll look me up when she’s doing fine
Because the rage it burns like Chinese torture
She’s just someone’s favourite daughter
Spoilt and ugly as she willingly slaughters
Friends and enemies they’re all the same
All the same
Crush her fame
Burn her name
She’ll break a promise as a matter of course
Because she thinks it’s fun to have no remorse
She gets what she wants and walks away
And she doesn’t give a fuck what you might say
Because it cuts her up like Irish mortar
Mother’s pride is what we taught her
Soiled and petty as we happily taunt her
Friend and enemy we’re all to blame
{She’ll burn us bad
She’ll flaunt her fame
She’ll make us remember, remember her name}x2
If she sits still like she knows she could
She could win this game and be the queen for good
Save herself up for the cream of the crop
Then she’ll look us up when she’s ready to stop
Because the rage it burns like Chinese torture
She’s just someone’s favourite daughter
Spoilt and ugly as she willingly slaughters
Friends and enemies are all that came
To burn her name
Crush her fame
Burn her name
Crush her fame
Burn her name
Crush her fame
Burn her name
We’re all to blame
