Song Post: Metric- Raw Sugar

Sort of wonder why
No one said a word
Don't you like it on the sly?
Don't you like it till it hurts?
Have I been on your mind?
What's a voice without a song?
Something in your head
You've been fighting all the long...

I don't want to say it
The news is not so good
We'll never get away
And even if we could
We'd just play the tambourine
Around an open flame
Oversleep and burn
To be back in the game

'Cause summer never comes
Nowhere near high noon
And winter never comes
Nor the harvest moon

Raw sugar
I don't want to die living in a high rise GRAVE
I'LL PRAY to call home
Save that date
High rise GRAVE

No I'm not complaining
Yes it could be worse
Ferment on the wish bone
Match the lips to the purse
Neighborhood's a runway
Fry the ass and thighs
Dirty diamond dealers
Pushed behind the eyes

Cause summer never comes
Nowhere near high noon
And winter never comes
Nor the harvest moon

Raw sugar
I don't want to die living in a high rise GRAVE
I'LL PRAY to call home
Save that date
High rise GRAVE

Still I wear the red dress
Paint my toes and twirl
Take it back to old times
Back when I was still a girl
'Cause now I'm all baboon boys
Coochie Coochie Coo
Sortof wonder why
I missed a kiss for you

'Cause summer never comes (save that date)
Winter never comes (high rise rate)
-Metric, "Raw Sugar"

This was part of the Samurai Champloo FST I downloaded recently; it's on FST if you're interested. I think it's awesome since it does a wonderful job of capturing the characters. This song is from Jin's soundtrack, and it fits him and Shino rather well. I'll write about why I love SC fairly soon, I suppose, because I really do love it. I also love this song, hence the post.
