regina spektor - Belt (Live)

Recorded: 1st May 2002, Tonic

Lyrics:

I know I say I'll go away

but then I don't, I come right back

And walk right smack into your lips

and turn all black and blue

And though I've seen the light so many times before

I've also figured out the light is just a switch

that I can turn on, I can turn off

Please, oh please

when it's off, you cannot see, you cannot hear

Even in your ear, saying

Yo girl, don't make me take off my belt

Don't make me take off my belt and smack you upside the head...

Upside down a frown becomes a smile

And so he thinks I take it with a smile

Double upside down a frown remains a frown

Too bad he never checks the double upside down

when I'm doubled up on the floor

And I see a double him

Giving me a double wham bam

Yo girl, don't make me take off my belt

Don't make me take off my belt and smack you upside the head...

Chicken soup, mashed potatoes, gravy

Orange juice, milk shakes, pudding

Oatmeal, soft served ice cream

Ain't it good that there's soft food

cause I couldn't eat very much else right now

They ask me how

Well, hahaha, I fell down some stairs

Yeah, hahaha, I bumped into a door

Oh, I'm such a clutz

I say that very same thing to myself

All the time, I say

Yo girl, can't you watch where you are?

You don't watch where the hell you're going, you're going to get yourself killed

You know, hey girl, can't you watch where you are?

You're going to get yourself killed...

I know I say I'll go away

but then I don't, I come right back

And walk right smack into your lips

and turn all black and blue

And though I've seen the light so many times before

I've also figured out the light is just a switch

that I can turn on, I can turn off

Please, oh please

When it's off, you cannot see shit, you cannot hear shit

even in your ear, saying

Yo girl, don't make me take off my belt

Don't make me take off my belt and smack you upside the head...

So nice voice and rythm with that deep message, is chilling and awesome at the same time. This song must be heard by more people!

+Lilacs and Lavenders it's definitely about domestic abuse. I love the way she presents her ideas in her songs. Often times the mood of the song is almost antithetic to the words and the meaning. I love it <3

when i volunteer as a camp counselor, i find myself singing this song out loud in front of kids for fun, and then i pretend to smack them with imaginary belts. i'm such a good counselor.
