They both suck big time. The only good thing about them is that they are Stevie Nicks songs. Other than that they blow, so neither.

Sheesh. I guess NQA, just because the alternate is a little better. I think both of these songs should be collecting dust in the demo bin. Paper Doll is kind of funky, but the vocal is pretty darned croaky. NQA is fatally infected with the "well" virus and has one of the clunkiest lyrics ever. After the one two punch of these new songs back then, I really started to wonder if Homegirl's well had run dry for good.

What's the clunky lyric you speak of?

Since Paper Doll is one of my all-time favorite songs, I'd have to say ... PAPER DOLL!

It also features some of the best arrangement & production Lindsey B. has ever done.

Oooh she just seems to be missing
How could that happen anyhow


Cringeasaurus.

You feel completely indifferent

Sounds like she's chewing a mouthful of pizza dough when singing this one.


So today she says well I've changed my mind
That's a womans right they say
Well I'm frightened and I'm lost and i
Can't give you up, not now I need you now
I'm broken-hearted, broke down
Like a little girl
Well I need you now, well I'm broken hearted
Well I broke down, like a little girl


Ugh. Ugh. Save me from this.

Maybe clunky isn't the right word. Maybe just...painful ?

Those are stinkers, for sure. But I do love the "civil/nice" bit.

I quite like Paper Doll, but prefer No Question Asked, especially in the BTM demos.

Paper Doll. It's a stupid little ditty, but "No Questions Asked" is a musical atrocity, so I pick the other choice.

Further proof that Homegirl won't be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame...ever.

And don't forget the opening verse.

When I see him --
I feel him.
There's an intenseness
In him --
In his eyes.


Jesus Christ, kill me now. The way she sings "intenseness" is horrific.

I put paper doll because it was one of the very first Stevie songs ive ever heard. Overall I think NQA is a better song, but for some reason I like Paper Doll better. I love the harmonies on it.

Yes, I have noticed something like that. Something doesn't sound right to my ears, but still...

I went with "No Questions Asked." That's one of my favorite FM songs of all time. I love it in all forms, demo or officially released. I love "Paper Doll," too, but not as much.

"No Questions Asked" is dreamarrific!! I love the lyrics and love the music and love the vocal and love Mick's drumming.

And, by the way Joshua, I love the way she sings "intenseness". So stick it.
