Just wanted to take a moment to declare my love for Sleater-Kinney, which has grown immensely since I decided to really look into the lyrical content of the songs I love so much.

My dear, look at my face. I’ve been waiting for you in the same old place. I’ve got a long time for love. Jewels could spill from my cup. But it’s all locked down, and I’m all locked up. I’ve got a long time for love. A woman is not a girl. I could show you a thing or two. I’ve got a long time for love. Come on let’s go to the mat. Hit the floor honey, let’s battle it out. I’ve got a long time for love.

First things first, let’s play a game. It won’t hurt, just say my name. I’ve got a long time for love. Roll the dice, pick your card. Let’s see if your number is up. I’ve got a long time for love. Pony up, try and guess my hand, what have I learned from experience? I’ve got a long time for love. Let’s call it my royal flush, I’ll show you what to do with it. I’ve got a long time for love.

My dear, look at my face. I’ve been waiting for you in the same old place. I’ve got a long time for love. My body is all shook up, like a bottle of pop and I wanna go off. I’ve got a long time for love. Lock the door, lock it on up. I won’t let you out ‘til I’ve had enough. I’ve got a long time for love. One thing, one thing more, one thing more before you go. I’ve got a long time for love.
