Go! 02:26
Well, thanks for the sage opinions Now tell me something I don't know And once you're finished bitchin' Go, I said go, go, go, go, go Don't wait for invitations, I said go. go, go Well God gave woman instinct But how’s he supposed to know That you'd smudge it up like lipstick Go, I said go, I say go, go, go, go Don't wait for divine intervention, I say go. go, go Is it the way he loves you now? Is it the way he loves you now? Go, go Is it the way he loves you now? Well you might leave here graciously Or you could make the show But either way you're history Go, I said go, go, go, go, go Don't wait for standing ovations Go, I said go, I said go, go, go, go You broke your obligations, now I, I say go. go, go

Paris she’s the perfect girl for me She goes all the way Touches me in that special way Paris she’s the perfect girl for me She does all them things I’d like to do Sips me like I’m tea Swallowing occasionally Paris she’s the perfect girl for me She, she takes me there She waves her hair She’s ready to wear She wears all them clothes I’d like to wear Her tastes are refined I think they’re the imported kind Paris she’s the perfect babe for me She, she takes me there She waves her hair She’s ready to wear Paris she’s the perfect girl for me She goes all the way Certain things I don't have to say Paris she’s the perfect girl for me She, she takes me there She waves her hair She’s ready to wear She, she takes me there She waves her hair She’s ready to wear

My eyes saw a pretty face My hands wrapped around her waiste My head couldn’t discriminate Lawyers can’t negotiate when... Love is wrong, love is wrong My ears finally heard enough My eyes saw the ugly stuff My words should’ve spoken up, by now My love should’ve been enough Love is wrong, love is wrong, love is very wrong… love is wrong For years we tried to end polite And years passed by overnight Twenty-six when I started this relation Twenty-nine a lose lose situation Love is wrong, love is wrong, love is very very wrong… love is strong

Vagabond 03:54
Quitting’s something I can't understand And moving out’s a threat it's not your hand You've broken me in every other way I'm damned if you leave or if you stay So what's it going to be vagabond? What's it going to be Vagabond? Serving smiles is what I do all day I called you but the phone just rang away I pictured all your things packed up in bags I wondered if you'd leave the photographs So what's it going to be vagabond? You're very fond to leave but never gone Is it you or is it me moving on? I say what's it going to be Vagabond? The holidays come lurching like a ghost Do you remember fighting at my folks'? I swore another year would not go by I couldn't have told a bigger pack of lies I couldn't have told a bigger pack of lies So give me something real vagabond You're very fond to leave but never gone Is it you or is it me moving on? So what's it going to be vagabond? vagabond, vagabond, vagabond

Mezz blew hot New Orleans jazz Vipers drew in another drag, we’s clean Porkpie hats, minor leagues Cutting sides for no royalties, we’s green ‘33 was where it would begin And I recall halcyon days Blues, it was all the rage Blues, it was all the rage, and we’s blue Prohibition, recording bans Bop the music would be the vanguard thing ‘33 was was really happening And I recall halcyon days Blues, it was all the rage Blues, it was all the rage, and we’s blue Came a day they caged the Bird Billie’s holiday at Leavenworth, obscene Oh and Clifford Brown’s been rolling cars Long before we's a rock and roll star scene ‘33 was really happening And I recall halcyon days Blues, it was all the rage Blues, it was all the rage, and we’s blue All the rage All the rage All the rage, and we’s blue

Hop between the sheets A man never felt so nice Toenails sharp as blades Feet as cold as ice Touch her leg to see her squirm Roust her sleepy world Oh, paradise Sleeping with girls Smell of smoky hair Man we were out all night Smoking hashish cigarettes With the police chief’s wife I check her breath, it ain’t too bad Come on let's give it another whirl Kiss me twice Sleeping with girls Elbow in the face I woke up with Charley Horse Stub my baby toe Fumbling for a bathroom door Her house mates come home drunken-faced As I’m naked like a shining pearl Ah, blow the dice Sleeping with girls My kingdom for a toothbrush To scrub my self respect I’m been searching for pride somewhere So hard when your soaking wet Talking in my sleep Oh a mighty risky proposition Especially when that weren’t her Bent over in that position I’m not well rested no, no, no, no, no Fact is I’m miserable Ah, serves me right sleeping with girls Serves me right sleeping with girls Serves me right sleeping with girls

Make Love 04:17
I’ll make love to you Slow if you want me to I’ll kiss you When we’re through I’ll be good this once I promise you not to rush I’ll give it a Gentle push I believe, I believe that mistakes have been made I regret what I’ve done, taking and taking, oh I... I can’t believe what you done, you should’ve known it was wrong You don’t have to forget or say I’m forgiven, because I... I apologize I know that it’s hard to find A body, a soul, a mind In one gentleman All combined So do what you’ve got to do A lashing should be my due But I’ll learn And you’ll learn too Chorus Say what you will I’ll swallow the biggest pill I ain’t treated you Very well So give me your lowest blow Square right between the nose But tonight this house is mine That’s a good sign Chorus

I saw you walking with him around the arcade There's something you ought to know before naming the day Parisian women are fine, he knows this well His eye, it’s wandering I saw him buying champaign for your anniversary He was talking to a woman in line, he paid for her things Now why's he trying to score in a game he can't play? His eye, it’s wandering Tend your goals Maintain composure Lead the life that you like And don't be blind, his eye it’s wandering His eyes would roll if you told him you're up on his schemes He'd probably blame your girlfriends for just wanting part of his scene Parisian women all talk, he knows this well His eye, it’s wandering I am wandering, I am wandering, I am wandering, I am wandering

about

"She" is Wisely's fun and infectious exploration of romance and sexuality that completely defines a genre of power pop – which in the shadows of Jellyfish, Matthew Sweet and Trip Shakespeare – was just then fully asserting itself on the world. With a young John Fields producing – himself a blooming platinum-selling producer – “She” spills with the esprit and ingenuity of McCartney's "Ram", invoking whimsy, irony, the abstract and absolute heartbreak all at once. Not for dour-hearted listeners.

Deluxe Remastered Bonus Track Edition, including 10 demos and a 1997 live recording at the Grammy® Showcase in Los Angeles, is available direct from the artist in CD/mp3/FLAC/Apple Lossless format at Bandcamp. » williewisely.bandcamp.com/album/she-deluxe-remastered-edition » Also available at iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and more.

about

Willie Wisely Saint Paul, Minnesota

Equal parts Minnesotan music scene veteran and Laurel Canyon resident/devotee, Willie Wisely remains that rare bird mixing profound power pop with arena-sized showmanship, a troubadour on an all night rave up, a cold kombucha on a hot California day, a McCartney-ite taking a break from his Japanese import of “Ram” for a quick Canyon run listening to João Gilberto. ... more
