Go-Go’s

This Town

We all know the chosen toys

Of catty girls and pretty boys

Make up that face

Jump in the race

Life’s a kick in this town

Life’s a kick in this town

This town is our town

It is so glamorous

Bet you’d live here if you could

And be one of us

Change the lines that were said before

We’re all dreamers – we’re all whores

Discarded stars

Like worn out cars

Litter the streets of this town

Litter the streets of this town

This town is our town

It is so glamorous

Bet you’d live here if you could

And be one of us

Old white male musicians fall back position is blues-sexually passive-lazy-useless-she does all the work. Then it’s over. A pelvic thrust or two. Because hate Dave Matthews
“Crash Into You” offered something truly amazing-new ripe direction-a strange raw sexual vibe that made Matthews into a sex object. Then at the song the band referenced Ella Fitzgerald singing “a tisket and tasket a green and yellow basket.” This pointed to a girl becoming a woman, and women were able to have a whole new Matthews. It was raw and strange and different. The song still is a blaring stand-out in the Matthews Band discography. “Everybody Wake Up” from the Stand LP is a typical attempt at some kind of Americana influenced anthem. Unfortunately the song stays neutral. It can’t wake us up or subversively stir the listener out of listlessness. Eye liner
