Week Twenty-Five: Pagan Rhythms/Cassingles - Baby Animals - "Painless" - Single

Week Twenty-Five belongs to a super-cool vinyl/CD/cassette tape shop that was near the intersection of Lovers Lane & Greenville Avenue in Dallas, TX - called Pagan Rhythms - and their massive selection of used cassingles...

I have encountered so few people who have ever heard of this band, Baby Animals. So, don't feel badly if you are saying to yourself, "Baby Who?!?!?"  In fact, all I really know about them is that they are from Australia.

I actually thought this song was by Concrete Blonde when I first heard it.  I loved Concrete Blonde, and it is so reminiscent of their style.

I had completely forgotten about this tune until I was scanning the cassingles at Pagan Rhythms one afternoon.  Since I was convinced for so long that it was Concrete Blonde, I wasn't even really sure that I was purchasing the correct song, but I think they charged maybe $.50 at the most for their cassingles; so I figured that it was worth the risk. I'm happy I took a chance because I really do like this song, and the lead singer, Suze DeMarchi, has such a passionate voice and such a lovely look about her.

You want to feel a little warmth
A little mercy
You want to feel like this is real
But it's so cold this time of year
And everywhere you liked to go is a reminder

Oh you can smell him in the air
But this is just being unfair
I don't care 'cause life was never meant to be painless

What I would give
Painless
An adjective
Painless

Not gonna beg to be a leg of your adventure
Not gonna cry I'm gonna laugh
It's like a little game of chance
We all anticipate the elements of nature

Well yesterday was years ago
And you have nothing more to show
I don't care 'cause I was always meant to be here

What I would give
Painless
An adjective
Painless

Ooh he's my prince of love
Painless
Sweet tooth of sin

I've got to say it doesn't pay being a stranger
A little distance among friends
Sure way to bring an end
And I need that like a hole in the head

Oh I need that like a hole in the head

What I would give
Painless
An adjective
Painless

Ooh he's my prince of love
Painless
Sweet tooth of sin
Painless

What I would give
Painless
An adjective
