there's a dark girl standing in the wings there are dark eyes staring and they bring me pain and comfort there's a dark girl laughing and I ask myself a question there are blind eyes searching from a stage there's a whitewash figure and I wonder if he sees me

Gimme Love 03:06
gimme, gimme, gimme love I'm falling down, down, down, down, down, down gimme. gimme, gimme love I'm losing my my, my my, my my, my my, my mind gimme, gimme, gimme love who said you wouldn't leave me? who said you wouldn't go? 'cause now I sit here waiting for you how can you say no to me? when I need to have you by me there's something I want you to say only you can make me happy but not when you're so far away lights go on and still I'm sitting here I wait for here I wait for you since you've gone I spend my time thinking what I'd, what I'd do for you

the calendar in the first grade classroom reads April 3rd, it's a lovely morning one by one the children follow to recite the words poetry has taught them Larissa remember your parents, your comrades Larissa remember we are you, we are you about a third of the students perfect the thoughts and words with emotion correct no flaws thus far, this class untainted as Larissa waits her turn two stanzas hence, it's going smoothly but the third is lost and silence follows the SHAME of all Soviet upon her to forget what no god has taught her (*lyrics inspired by "Two Worlds Of Childhood: U.S. and U.S.S.R." by Urie Bronfenbrenner - p.1970)

Obscured 01:29
again so right you feel the chill and you know just where you have aimed but certainty is lost once more (you're not far off... just a fraction to the left but the target remains... obscured) shoot at mirrors you miss so near but a miss is a miss just the same and only the image remains

about

Originally a Complacency cassette release from 1986, this was the debut recording from Chris Block & Jane Bouzek - collectively known as Girl Thirteen (later Asa Nisi). From their first performance at the New Music Chicago Festival in April, 1985, the band made a limited number of studio and live appearances over the next few years as both as a duo and with the backing of Thymme Jones, Jeff Libersher and the all too briefly heard talents of Kimberley Gilbert on harmony vocals.
