    This song was way ahead of its time. They sounded more like late 90s alternative. I had this song on repeat…i meant I rewound my cassette tape over and over.

      Great album. When Moe Berg was given the okay to record by the record company he wished that his idol Todd Rundgren could produce it. He was later surprised by a phone call from Todd saying he would like to do the project.
      It worked out beautifully, when a great song became an even better record.
      You can hear Rundgren's stamp all over the track.

    Thanks for posting. I absolutely love TPOH! I got to see them live here in the states on the Love Junk tour. They blew the doors off the place. They were so tight that all the songs were played perfectly like you were listening to the studio album. I’ve loved them ever since. Have all of their albums. I doubt they’ll ever tour the states since they’ve been playing new gigs. But it’s just nice knowing they’re out there. Todd Rundgren’s production on the first two albums was a match made in heaven. Moe was a huge fan. Great memories of the soundtrack of my life.

    As much as she'd like to believe
    She's leading a brand new wave
    That uniform that she wears
    I see on the street every day
    She looks heavenward
    And struggles to find the right cliche
    You've got to find your own space
    Have a nice day
    She's so young, she's got the answer
    She doesn't need to question herself like I do
    Like I do
    She's so young, she's got the answer
    She doesn't need to question the world like I do
    Like I do
    Like the wisdom of ages
    Will flow from her tongue
    This is the
    Delusion of the young
    She says she'll lead with her heart
    But her heart really doesn't know at all
    I'll get no satisfaction
    Out of seeing her fall
    She's so young, she's got the answer
    She doesn't need to question herself like I do
    Like I do
    She's so young, she's got the answer
    She doesn't need to question her life like I do
    Like I do
    She's so young, she's got the answer
    She doesn't need to question herself like I do
    Like I do
    She's so young, she's got the answer
    She doesn't need to question the world like I do
    Like I do
    She's so young, she's got the answer
    She doesn't need to question herself like I do
    Like I do
    She's so young, she's got the answer
    She doesn't need to question the world like I do
    Like I do
