Hell Yeah by Ani Difranco - State Theater - Itchaca, New York - 1995
life is a b movie it's stupid and it's strange a directionless story and the dialogue is lame but in the he said she said sometimes there's some poetry if you turn your back long enough and let it happen naturally oh, yeah hell yeah i got a face like a limp handshake hair like an accident scene i've been waking up slowly savoring the same old dream and somewhere between the folds of your memory i was sleeping soundly oh, yeah hell yeah 'cause i like you but i know you don't know it i like you so much, i talk to everyone but you and i wonder what you would think of this little number i wonder what you would say if you knew if you don't ask the right questions every answer feels wrong i was a terrible waitress so i started to write songs and i don't know how i feel but i wonder if you feel like me do you ever get wrapped up in the folds of my memory oh, yeah hell, yeah 'cause i like you but i know you don't know it i like you so much i talk to everyone but you and i wonder what you would think of this little number yeah i wonder what you would say if you knew there's a river of people that runs past my eyes and it's beautiful enough just to watch it go by but the trouble with water is she'll always leave you for gravity i never even told you i had a crush on your anything oh, yeah hell yeah life is a b movie it's stupid and it's strange a directionless story and the dialogue is lame but in the he said she said sometimes there's some poetry if you turn your back long enough and let it happen naturally oh, yeah hell yeah
Anticipate by Ani Difranco - State Theater - Ithaca, New York - 1995
you are subtle as a window pane standing in my view but i will wait for it to rain so that i can see you you call me up at night when there's no light passing through and you think that i don't understand but i do we don't say everything that we could so that we can say later oh, you misunderstood i hold my cards up close to my chest i say what i have to and i hold back the rest 'cause someone you don't know is someone you don't know get a firm grip, girl before you let go for every hand extended another lies in wait keep your eye on that one anticipate dress down get out there pick a fight with the police we will get it all on film for the new release seems like everyone's an actor or they're an actor's best friend i wonder what was wrong to begin with that they should all have to pretend we lost sight of everything when we have to keep checking our backs i think we should all just smile come clean and relax if there's anything i've learned all these years on my own it's how to find my own way there and how to find my own way back home
