Lyrics

I want a girl who smells like gasoline
I want a girl who don't know the difference
Between a handshake and a smile
She'd love me for a while
Then she'd drop and watch me bleed.
I want a girl who thinks she's far above me
I want a girl who doesn't think I matter
And when she's telling me sweet lies
There's no good in her goodbyes
She sticks around just to push and shove me.

Masochistic love. Give me some more.
When I get analytic of all this masochistic love
I can only beg for more.

I want a girl who plays a wicked mind game
I want a girl who will just leave me guessing
And if I tell her what my hunch is
She will pull none of her punches
Leaving my heart broke and lame.
I want a girl who's not afraid to tell me
She don't find me the least bit attractive
She's just with me out of pity
But she's leaving 'cause it's shitty
Once again my ugly face has killed me

Masochistic love. Give me some more.
When I get analytic of all this masochistic love
I can only beg for more.

	choice tunage excellent pop tune, everything works, but I particularly liked the chord changes on the chorus. also the guitar part around 1:19. what kind of electric guitar are you playing on this one? Check out my latest song called Someone Else's Thing

Lennon714	Lennon714 said 1263 days ago (December 1st, 2009)
	Thanks The guitar on this one was probably my beat up Squire Tele that I use as a backup. Well, I've used it as a main guitar on a few tracks here, too. I think it's the guitar I used on my cover of Dolby's "Half a Million Miles". Check out my latest song called Honest Man

	4 Track Well put together song. Great changes. Radio station quality. Really dug the lyrics. I guess that means you did an excellent job with this oldie. Joined your new page btw. Thanks for making my Sunday LL Check out my latest song called A Funky Little Thing

	Oldie goldie Thanks for joining the new page. A lot of stuff you've heard, but maybe that will change. Thanks for listening! Check out my latest song called Honest Man

	another from the archives are you going to eventually redo some of these "oldies"? Check out my latest song called Darkest Skies

Lennon714	Lennon714 said 1263 days ago (December 1st, 2009)
	revamping to the oldies Some of them I will redo. Some of them have a really lo-fi quality that just wouldn't work revamped. I've been really studying up on the recording process for the last two years and I'm getting better, but there's a charm in just plugging in and taking the first take no matter what. Or at least it appeals to me. Check out my latest song called Honest Man

	how old were you in 2001? unashamedly poppy but with really sound lyrics too. clash influence? Check out my latest song called Every People Know w/Rok41, KTB, Scofugate & Sisters

	IN 2001 I was 21. Skinny and mopey. Just like the girls like 'em. I do love the Clash, but wouldn't blame them for this one :) Check out my latest song called Honest Man

	a lennon garage sale and i almost missed it. all a cool pop song needs is some muted guitar and a whistleable melody. love the phrasing and the killer lyrics: 'she's just with me out of pity/but she's leaving cause it's shitty/once again my ugly face has killed me'. classic. Check out my latest song called Fan Fiction (Stan Lee Writes Reed Richards)

	A lennon garage sale great way of putting it. My roommate at the time was really in to the "There's no good in her '"goodbyes'" line until I let him know I lifted it from Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, with a bit of license. Check out my latest song called Honest Man

johnwhitehead	johnwhitehead said 1265 days ago (November 30th, 2009)
	Gasoline Great melody and lyric. Agree the changes on the chorus really lift the tune. I dig the stripped down feel, just the acoustic and bass. Totally works. Ever heard Marshall Crenshaw's "Cynical Girl?" Maybe the definitive word on this topic, but I like your take, too! Check out my latest song called Wandering Blues

Lennon714	Lennon714 said 1263 days ago (December 1st, 2009)
	Cynical Girl I do love Marshall Crenshaw, but must admit I hadn't heard the song until you pointed it out. Funny that both were done about the same time. His is naturally definitive. Check out my latest song called Honest Man

	You used to be good..............and still are of course. This is a catchy hit. It would be nice to hear it reproduced. Im guessing you have less free time now, than when you did this. This kind of music has always appealed to me. Check out my latest song called when you smile

Lennon714	Lennon714 said 1263 days ago (December 1st, 2009)
	You should hear what I'm going to sound like. It's all downhill from here. I actually do plan on redoing this one. I'm just having trouble with the music. Direction-wise I'm kind of at a loss. If you have any ideas I'd love to hear 'em! Check out my latest song called Honest Man

	Interesting title Kind of warns you of what's coming. I wonder, was this done tongue in cheek or was there a, I don't know...girl in mind when you wrote this? Interesting work - thanks for sharing - Sig Check out my latest song called Under Your Bed - feat. strangedream, rok41 & Steve Ritter

Lennon714	Lennon714 said 1263 days ago (December 1st, 2009)
	haha It's from a mopey period. I had just broken up with a really sweet girl who was really an angel. So I figured a guy like me should only be with girls that smell like gas and are impolite, etc. Leaving the sweet ones for successful guys that drive BMW's.

I haven't listened
to the song yet, but the title had me rolling. I'm trying to drag the curser up to click on the start button. Nice Klee like art work. Yours?

The lyric are fun too. It, to me, would have a little move weight on it with some drums coming in a bout a third the way through. It's cool as is. Makes me think of times around the camp fire along the beach with all the accouterments for a real good time and having one.

Fun stuff here, keep on ............

	Drums The song definitely needs something to round it out. Thanks for listening. And I don't know who did the art. I don't even know why it was in my pictures folder. I do like it, though. Check out my latest song called Honest Man

	Gasoline This one is very Weezerish (in a good way)! I love four-track recordings! Lots of classic lyrics in this one! Nice simple production, nothing fancy, but memorable. Thanks for dragging this one from your archives! Check out my latest song called Wolves

Love bites:
I never learned how to make music be "happy" inside four tracks -- I'd bounce tracks into hiss-oblivion. But this tune has great bones. This is a great, grizzly little anti-love bite in the acoustic-rocking tradition of a younger Nick Lowe. I always look forward to your posts. Never mind the "bones" comment, this is more like a good wine, it blooms as the air hits it (meaning it builds well).

	Thanks, Bob! I love my 4 track and actually want to record on it again soon, but using Garageband has forced me to be a little more disciplined in my approach. I used to insist on things peaking at about +5. Thanks for your comments! Check out my latest song called Honest Man

the difference between a handshake and a smile
E-Bear,

when you strip your songs down to these very bare bones, you reveal your strengths as well as your weaknesses, hence the 4 tracks. Well, all I see or hear is very powerful lyrics, enviable vocals and roots rock guitar that I totally love.

Now I want to grab my Tascam 4 track and try to do something as cool as this!

Keep 'em coming!

	America Is forever. And guess what? you need to grab your Tascam. But you could grab your letter opener and do something cool. The coolness is in you, son... not the tool. Check out my latest song called Honest Man

	Excellent!!!!! Saw the post by racerat and had to hear the original. Great job on this one. DLed and Fav'd. Killer oldies vibe with a rock edge. Excellent songwriting and a great performance. The slipshod delivery of this song really works. Check out my latest song called Devil's Argument!!!

	I Want a Girl Who Smells Like Gasoline I was just checking out racerat's version! I love his version but I really appreciate the way the tune shines through in this sparse arrangement. Both are excellent. Luckily I don't have to choose just one! Check out my latest song called Just Ain't Worth a Song (2 Track)

	Love it. Somehow, despite having three hard drives and backup software, I managed to delete the version we did of this one. We need to redo it. Actually, though, I think this plain 4-track version is better than what I recorded in my "fancy" studio. Check out my latest song called Hammers and Heads
