Album Cover Ballad of a Ladyman

Ballad of a Ladyman

Sleater-Kinney

7

eye cream and thigh cream, how 'bout a get

high cream?

nothing i do smoothes out the feelings

of being used

the ballad of a ladyman

freak that i am

live in japan

let's rock with the tough girls

in this part of the world

take a photograph

portrait of a ladyman

are we holding on to our pride a bit

too long?

are we breaking you apart?

are we breaking on guitars?

they say i've gone too far with

the image i've got and

they know i'd make a mint

with new plastic skin

and a hit on the radio!

oh, temptations of a

ladyman

i could be demure like

girls who are soft for

boys who are fearful og

getting an earful

but i gotta rock!

i'd rather be a ladyman

how many times will

you decide?

how many lives will

you define?

how much control

should we give up of our

lives?

(you sit at home with an

alibi

in case they call you and ask

you why all you do is go "ooh

ahh ooh",

you're out of control but

saying

"ooh ahh ooh")
