lyrics

Susie Asado

I have such a damn big crush on you
but I'm probably better off starting a choir
with all the women stumbling in my shoes
who've played your songs too much
and we would have a great time singing four part harmonies
and I would get good playing the guitar
every night i'm drinking too much tea, every night drinking too much tea

and if you are wondering
I am Susie Asado, that's the name that was given to me

I have such a damn big crush on you
but I'm probably better off biting my arm
horse around with pillows and other house-hold-objects
with multiple functions they've got multiple functions
and I'll read Dostojewskij and all of Gertrude Stein
words like "bobbles" will be sparks around my eyes
a starfish in my hair and everything will be so literary because

I am Susie Asado, that is the name that was given to me

I have such a damn big crush on you
but I'm probably better off in another room
for I wouldn't want to end in a geographic mess
if you did all but kiss me
and I would surely miss the point of the attraction
that perhaps all I wanted was to be like you
and maybe one day I will be with a starfish in my hair
and I will say

"I am Susie Asado, I am all of Mexico and all of you
if you ask me what I do for money I will open my portmonait
and a song leap out before you've had time to tie your shoes
you might fall in love with me now, but I will not be able to see you
with these lights glaring in my face I only see silhouettes
and I'll say Mexico is "pink melon joy" and that is the end of my set
and in my dressing room I will think of you
in my dressing room I will think of you
and that is the end of that"

Susie Asado Berlin, Germany

Susie Asado lives in Berlin. That is the band, not the poem. The poem is by Gertrude Stein. Yes, there is such a poem. The band is not a poem. It is a band. Josepha writes the songs. She takes this very seriously, as she takes the band very seriously and of course the poem, that is Gertrude Stein very seriously. ... more
