Holy smokes! Every time I hear a song I haven’t heard from the Femmes…….. it describes my life EXACTELY!!!!! Practically every song they’ve done! So so so so so sooooooooo glad I’ve seen them twice in this life! Second time around I got to talk to them and get autographs! This happened in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2006 and 2015. MY NUMBER ONE BAND!!!
Which country did you buy it in? I'm in Australia & no hard copy available. Only downloads are through Amazon (though not available in Australia) & Apple :-/
LYRICS: Step one, I did it for fun It was a simple way to start Lights out, what's it all about? I only got one cheek to turn Some do it for the summit la cumbre, Some do it for the climb Some people know when to settle down I can't help but wonder what's on the other side I want love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love All around me All around me Step two led to step three Led to my heading home in a rush Some kid won't admit what he did Just say, "Hey Hail Mary, can't forgive and forget about it" Some say they know it when they see it While others follow it blind Some science appliances made it all calculated It's just a chemical imbalance in the weaker mind I want love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love All around me All around me Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh I know something you don't know I said, Hey hey hey hu-hu-hey hey I'm not ever gonna give it away I said, Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh I know something you don't know I said, Hey hey hey hu-hu-hey hey I'm not ever gonna give it away Step one, I did it for fun It was a simple way to start Some doors don't close anymore once you have opened up your heart Some people gotta sell it 'Cause some people want to pay Some people like to stand on a steeple and tell me, "This is not the way, it's the wrong way!" I want love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love All around me All around me Love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love All around me All around me
bekfreak247 That's awesome... The Violent Femmes need to come to Tampa Bay too. I think they will someday soon. This tour is rather small. Once they release their next set of tunes; a full album, they will either play in St. Petersburg , FL Tampa, FL or Clearwater, FL i.e. Tampa Bay!!! Great new music, already have the vinyl...
I've shrugged off the rants on data mining/profiling as, 'What do you expect? Everything we say/do/buy/worship is recorded. It's the tradeoff of privacy for convenience.' Etc. Until tonight. A dating ad popped up when I played this starting that there are men in my area that prefer mature women. I'm officially creeped out now.
This band more than deserves to be enshrined in the rock n roll hall of fame. So original and such talented song writers. I love the femmes

Was searching "Violent Femmes love songs" for my wedding reception playlist, and this newer song popped up. Works for me!
Same!
This whole EP is amazing especially when you find out it was one take in one room with all instruments playing at once.
darthtortugas where can I find their EP please? Anywhere else but iTunes, do you know? I don't have Apple.
jane doh pretty sure its in record stores. Its where I got my copy.

jane doh I am in the US but this was recorded in Tasmania so I would think you could find it there in Australia.
darthtortugas I'll try the alternate music shops; might have success there. Thanks for your help :)
Simply great!
love, love., love ya guys...
Thats just beautiful! I will be singing along for sure in CT Cant wait!

Great Job Femmes BEST!
Fortunate to see them in the many years back, a truly surreal cerebral experience. Same as love, hope to experience again.
outstanding tune
Gordan is my cousin and im proud of him.
This video is a riot.
LYRICS:
Step one, I did it for fun
It was a simple way to start
Lights out, what's it all about?
I only got one cheek to turn
Some do it for the summit la cumbre,
Some do it for the climb
Some people know when to settle down
I can't help but wonder what's on the other side
I want love love love love love
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
All around me
All around me
Step two led to step three
Led to my heading home in a rush
Some kid won't admit what he did
Just say, "Hey Hail Mary, can't forgive and forget about it"
Some say they know it when they see it
While others follow it blind
Some science appliances made it all calculated
It's just a chemical imbalance in the weaker mind
I want love love love love love
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
All around me
All around me
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh
I know something you don't know
I said, Hey hey hey hu-hu-hey hey
I'm not ever gonna give it away
I said, Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh
I know something you don't know
I said, Hey hey hey hu-hu-hey hey
I'm not ever gonna give it away
Step one, I did it for fun
It was a simple way to start
Some doors don't close anymore once you have opened up your heart
Some people gotta sell it
'Cause some people want to pay
Some people like to stand on a steeple and tell me,
"This is not the way, it's the wrong way!"
I want love love love love love
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
All around me
All around me
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
All around me
All around me
Also I was wondering, is this about sexual promiscuity?
Thank you, i was searching for this.

I like it best on Spotify but great song anyways
This song reminds me a bit like David Byrne's solo stuff.
Brian Smith SAME
I was thinking the same.
rolon sesentero wowwww
what album is this from?
Gnostic
Dearest violent femmes, what you mean you only got one cheek? I see two. And I even believe there's two other hidden ones. Ily, just wondering.
A ideia é que vocês não casem rápido nem marquem suas namoradas. Seus pais vão ter um treco comigo.
