Confession: I enjoyed being deliberately provocative. If you were a fan of Vladimir's Universe you probably knew that already. If something was subversive, kinky, twisted, or controversial it probably made it into a song. That's pretty cliche in 2013, but back in the 80s it was avant garde. At the same time I was romantic and sentimental, a puppy dog more than a wolf.
If this song was about a real woman, years of therapy have erased her from my mind. I was listening to blues at the time so I played with the theme "I got a woman..." and this is what happened.
Recorded in my bedroom with guitar and drum machine the version appearing on "This Machine Eats Bacon" originally showed up on my tape "Make Lunch, Not War".
I knew a girl who was possessed
and she wore a yellow dress
I knew a girl with glowing eyes
she gave me pain
she told me lies
I don't think that I will forget her
she looked real good in leather
she gave me love
and she gave me pain
she had a monster living in her brain
she had long nails
she'd scratch my back
'til she drew blood
and I would scream
blood on the sheets
blood on the bed
the road to pleasure is stained with red
I don't think that I will forget her
she looked real good in leather
she gave me love
and she gave me pain
she had a monster living in her brain
