If it been my youth would have come to me Oh love won't you bite my eye I miss the sweet, godden mound Bare foot a skeleton dry All they wanted was a villain, a villain And all they have was me All they wanted was a villain, a villain So then they just took me Hold my county line, get down on my city floor I will suffer no humans, that'd been my habit before Oh oh, and how the earth did shake And tumble and tremble, for what the people do take And I want in, all over your mind Cause oh, how we the common do cry Oh, oho, oho, oh, oho, oho, oh, oho, oho, oh Oh aha, aha, oh aha, aha Where do you go from me?

Was introduced to Thao in like 07 via the daytrotter sessions, big fan ever since! Live performances are great fun!

[@baphomick]

She is so awesome.

[@Thao_Nguyen]

Love her voice! Thao approved! 😉👌

[@ShinyRedNothing]

Awesome. The rest of this album is awesome.

[@Jacknapfat]

Love and respect from Vietnam, Thao!

[@sophiecarstensen4152]

yes, go, Thao! I don't see why no one notices her. how come she's not world famous right now?!

[@spacedoginnebraska]

I'm grateful I found her!

[@robertfitch2052]

shhh! that's how it gets ruined... be happy that you are one of those in "the know" and let the mainstream industry sharks feed on something else.... I'm sure there plenty of other corporate controlled "Divas" out there that we can use as chum.... Thao is to good for that.... just sayin'

[@sophiecarstensen4152]

Robert Fitch YEAH, we are the seceret thao group😇😎

[@marcschneider4432]

Because most Americans wouldn't know good music if it bit them in the ass. Unless it was made over by an RIAA focus group

[@sarahdomergue2836]

[@timothygonsalves4838]

A.K.A The Original Hater "speading hate one played out thing at a time". I love when talent is wasted or maybe it's just not there and these are the types of songs that come of that. Nothing better thang twangy, off rhythm, off key song of morn to cut through the chest of the music seen. Thank your gods opinion stinks like rancid meat and everyone gets food poisoning at least once in their lives, just like opinions we are aloud to have 'em. Some opinions are just a little louder, stronger, perhaps more confrontational similar to the vocals in this track. Believe me I know the song is attempting to off and ooooohhhh...ing is not helping. I might not enjoy this track at all and your respone, while welcomed is just another from of hate so keep hateing I know I will.

[@dallaslangton1]

geez bud, it's just a fucking song..... :/

[@kuro758]

Wow, this sounds like your frustration with yourself than with the song..
