In one of the sexiest songs I’ve ever heard (it makes Prince sound like a Jr. High School boy), Lucinda Williams in her song "Essence" sings: "Baby, sweet baby.........you’re my drug come on and let me..........taste your stuff" "Baby, sweet baby..........bring me your gift what surprise you gonna.........help me with?" "Baby, sweet baby.........whisper my name shoot your love..........into my vein" "Baby, sweet baby..........kiss me hard make me wonder..........who’s in charge" "Baby, sweet baby..........I wanna feel your breath even though you like to..........flirt with death" "Baby, sweet baby..........can’t get enough please come find me (or does she say confine me?)..........and help me get f*cked up" Those are the verses; there are also the choruses. Yes, in the literal sense it's about shooting up, but that's also a metaphor. Drummer Jim Keltner and the rest of her band create an absolutely killer groove to match the lyrics. This song is a masterpiece! Excuse me, I hafta go wake up my girlfriend ;-). |
