Anyway, I guess I just identify with it. Plus, it has a nice tune, nice tempo...I like the way it starts a capella (or nearly so?) and then the way it kicks in. I know people can rip the lyrics, but I like them. One of my favorite lyrics (and actually, I like the musical interlude, too, it becomes spare at the beginning of this) is...

"ooo, alone in her chamber she dreams of her home.
In a very real way she's the purest art form.
I bet she said just how many art lovers can one, get to know (although, I used to think it was "just how many are the lovers can one get to know)
She doesn't have an hour
She doesn't have five minutes
She's got to go!

She's got her bags packed
And she's off to the valley where the
sun meets the sea
You understand that
She wants to live by the ocean
And no one is pleased
She gets a house in the mountains
The next day
the next day she leaves the station"

Okay, I just realized that's a huge portion of the song I love, but I REALLY LOVE IT!

My other favorite part is: (because of the music and the way the lyrics sound. I like the way it rocks out here, and the guitar in it).

"Well some cry well I really don't dance down
Stormy weather it cuts like a knife"

Yeah, the rhythm of the words "wellsomecrywellIreallydon'tdancedown!" is really tasty to me.

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 infinity for Greta. I love the Movie Star View line, too.

Plus, when SA first came out, this guy at my work wrote a really funny parody about me using Greta as basis. He was the first crazy mac fan I ever knew.

I just want to argue with Amber. I think it's a lame and humiliating song. Klonopin hall of shame award.

Its got a nice Bass/Drum rhythm thing going on, very titght sound, if I didnt know better id say it was a Mick/John thing.

3 ota 5 for me.

[Nixxxed]

Love it.

I especially love the harmonies on the chorus.

And:
She's got her eyes wide open
And she's ready to stare you down

ROTFLMAO right now picturing you on the ground in a fetal position crying softly to yourself. "Rhinestones...please no...movie star view...operation...oh God...this war it can't be happening...I wonder what Greta would say..."

Ya'll are bitches.

One of the best things about SA, in my opinion.
Really.

And much of that CD sucked.

Paula, you are hysterical.

[DavidMn]

Greta- Y A W N. But that's just me. I care for most of Street Angel except for Blue Denim

I love love love this song and the 80s demo. I guess you learn something new every day though, because I always thought she was singing "Just how many ODD lovers can one get to know" until I read Amber's post.

I think this is one of her fun breezy songs...well the music is. It's a top twenty song for me.

Love it. Second favorite song on SA.
