Mono Lyrics

[HippieChild]

I came across this today and was floored--it's the lyrics to "Mono" from America's Sweetheart. I consider Mono to be the best song in the album, brilliant in fact, but I took a good look at the lyrics and almost dropped my cocoa. Dig this and pay attention to the bold print:

Hey
hey
hey yeah we had everything
Vinyl in mono
And we looked the other way
Man we were so dumb
Is this the part in the book that you wrote
Where I gotta come and save the day
Did you miss me
Did you miss me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Well they say that rock is dead
And they're probably right
99 girls in the pit
Did it have to come to this?

Oh God you owe me one more song
So I can prove to you that
I'm so much better than him
Oh god please listen fast
Here comes the crash
We're gonna rise above
We gotta smash it up
You won't abandon us again
hey

Give us brilliant boys we wanna f**k man
Full of ecstasy, hard drugs and bad luck
Yeah yeah yeah
Turn the lights back on
You burn so hard
But you won't burn long

Three chords in your pocket tonight
Are you, you the one
With the spark to bring my punk rock back
(I don’t think so)

Oh God I wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say, that you're sorry again
Oh God you owe me one more song
So I can prove to you
That I'm so much better than him
Oh God I'd give you anything
To hear you say that I was right
And you were wrong
Oh God before I leave this life
No an eightball isn't love
Hooker’s never gonna cum
Just give it back to me
Blow out all of the lights tonight

Yeah
Drive a million miles down the PCH
And now he's gone
I slashed his tires, I bled his brakes
It had to be done
Their hand-job lives were just too cruel
(But) mercy was done
We drowned them all in their swimming pools
Run away, run away, run away yeah

Oh God I wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say that you were wrong again
Oh God I wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say that
That I'm so much better than him
Oh God you owe us one more song
Get out of my life
See this world as it really is
Is it just a sad slide show
Can make a hooker cum
An eightball isn't love
I need one thing that’s divine
Let me hear it tonight
Let me hear it tonight
I've gotta hear it tonight
You're gonna let me hear the lost chord tonight
yeah


All four of Kurt's tires were flat, as noted in the police report and Tom took several polaroids as well. The police never investigated why the tires were flat, nor did they investigate any of the car despite the suspicious circumstances. Any trained officer knows that the routine to investigating a death, any death would be to take note of everything and thoroughly investigate each detail, even if it seems stupid and mindless. This was noted, then ignored. Yet Courtney sings I slashed his tires, I bled his brakes which is something Grant suspected way back when his investigation started. Coincidence or deliberate? If Courtney is a psychopath, as I strongly suspect she is, it's common behavior to deny the deed yet write about it, sing it, or admit it through some other artistic endeavor and it's been my experience that many psychopaths are artistically gifted, through music, drama, painting or other "telling" art. In a sense it seems as if Courtney is bragging about what she did in her songs, yet denies it when confronted. Those lyrics are so brilliant they give me a chill.

It's a great song. It tells a hell of a story. <shudders> a goose just walked across my grave.

Possibly she's refering to what she did to Trent Reznors car.

That's a possibilty but you can't ignore that Kurt is a possiblity as well. Oh and even though those lyrics wouldn't hold up in court it's true.Courtney was quoted saying something across the lines of "I may lie a lot but never in my lyrics."

[lovestinksyeahyeah]

that's a sad fact.

[HippieChild]

Which is why the song is so disturbing. She never lies in her lyrics.

I never heard about her trashing Reznor's car. What happened?

I only know she fu*cked up his car I dont have all the details, but maybe Danielle does?

[HippieChild]

I've been searching and haven't found anything about it yet, but I'm going to keep looking. I did, however, find an incident where she trashed his hotel room, wrote a note claiming to be a deranged fan, and splattered his room with bloody tampons. (let me just add, EW!!! ) At first she denied it and even hired Tom Grant to find out who "really" did it, but then admitted she did it and "forgot" or something to that extent.

Is it me, or is this woman more than a little strange? I mean, if you want to get back at an ex, do you have to be out-and-out GROSS about it?

[Danielle Loves Kurt]

Courtney Love has trashed alot of people's cars including Eric Erlandson. Courtney threw a trashcan through the car window after they broke up. I don't think she ever tashed Kurts volvo though. And the Eric thing seems to fit too on second thought maybe she's writing about Eric owing her a song to try and get Hole back together. It's most likely about Eric. I think Eric great and Courtney needs him if she wants to write good music.

where she says i can proove to you im so much better than him, or something, i thought it was just better than HIM, like a thing for male musicians in general, but it could be kurt. she always wanted his fame, she was always hungry for it. i dunno tho really.

Hey Missworld you're back. Yay!
I always thought those were the lyrics too. But even if they are I think Courtney could write so much better. I know she was so jealous of Kurts success but Courtney is jealous of everyones success she's never happy with her lot in life. Maybe with all the nuts she's been through she can't be happy.
