CHILD junket (2004-05)

Though premiered as an acoustic number, this pounding, propulsive song written in 2002 as part of the LOVE project became a full-band rock highlight at later shows. It is a favorite among the unreleased new songs from LOVE and will apparently be a part of the next album (due in 2007) but with new lyrics, as Nick has claimed dissatisfaction with the current words.

I was the only one
Who could pull the trigger
I was so desperate
For companionship
I called your sister
Then looked in the personals

You went down to the corner
You started fuckin' with some girl
You licked and licked and stroked and stroked
You said I could watch
"But don't touch me, babe"
You can watch
But don't touch me

I'm okay
I don't need love
I just ride along
I ride along and dream
I'm okay with what I am

But I love to watch you do it
Watchin' the girls have their fun
I forget where I parked the car
You're my l'il reminder
And you can't tell me
You can't fucking tell me
That when you look up
While you're eating her out
That there's no gleam in your eye
No sign of something more

I'm okay
I don't need love
I like to watch
I like to ride
You drive
You drive
You drive
I'll ride
