"I keep saying, my words, coming out of somebody else's mouth, is [hehehe] the most erotic, sexy, pleasurable experience you can possibly imagine."

Re Ballad of the Sad Young Men:

I bought First Take when it first came out.  This song did not pop out at me.  Now that I am older, it does.  And it is a little hard to listen to--there's not much you want to say after hearing it

Thanks for posting it.

CellarDweller:
Never heard this before!  Thanks for sharing it!
