This Spoke to Me Today

I’ve been pulled to pieces, I’ve got an arm over here
I’ve got a leg over there, I’ve got my ass somewhere upside down
But I’m back, I’m here to tell you I’m back, better than before
Can’t keep a good thing down, uh-uh

Well I’ve been kicked around, never thought that I could fall
Thought that I was standing tall, turned out I was the ball
And you know what, and I, and I, and I’ve been kicked around
Baby after all, I took all the shots you called
Turned out I was the ball, you kicked you pushed

And I’ve been kicked around, and I’ve been upside down
Oh I’ve been bounced around, kicked around
I’m gonna get you, get you, your very momma will regret you
I’m going to stomp and drag you to your knees
Your very papa will forget you, kicked around

Oh I, Oh I, Oh I’ve been bounced around
Let me tell you, I’m here to tell you
You can get up, you can put all the pieces back together
Yeah, don’t let him stomp on you baby, get up now!
I said you made me feel so small, bouncing me against the wall
Just like I was the ball, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Oh I, Oh I, Oh I, Oh I’ve been kicked around
Now look at me baby, (trips alone) paved the memories you gave me
My eyes are open, eyes are open, now I can see
You’re nothing but a bad, bad memory
I’m all together now, all together now
I’m the biggest ball you ever did see, I’m gonna roll on you
I’m gonna fall on you, I’m gonna stomp on you
I’m gonna punch on you, I’m gonna choke on you
I’m gonna rip you, drag you to your knees
Your very papa will regret you!

Released 16 Years Ago Today

Grace Jones: Hurricane (2008)

My jury’s still out on this one, nearly twenty years on. It was just so different from her earlier work, and coming after such a long hiatus, it certainly wasn’t what I (or anyone else, for that matter) was expecting. Still, I have a copy in my library, because…well…Grace.
