    This is a bitterness-boiling-over song. When you've been dumped, rejected or messed up by a member of the opposite sex, this is the song to listen to.
    CD: "Poor Impulse Control"   Label: None

    Story Behind the Song
    For a long time, Meretrix was known for a certain variety of song - affectionately dubbed the "You Bitch, You Ruined My Life" song (of which "No Truth In Beauty," also on mp3.com, is another example). This song is the epitome of this era of Meretrix - it was originally recorded for 1999's "Ecstasy" album, and was completely re-done for "Poor Impulse Control."

    As far as the music goes, this song was heavily influenced by the layered sound of Curve and the... noise... of several European noise acts, most notably Imminent Starvation.

    This is the last track on "Poor Impulse Control." It always worked so well for ending live sets that it seemed an obvious choice for the end of the album.

    Lyrics
    I hear you
    I can hear you
    And I hear you calling to someone else
    But I can hear you
    Oh I can hear you
    As you put my memory on the shelf

    Don't ever take it down again
    I wouldn't want to feel the pain
    Of another encounter
    Why did I ever bother?
    Why did I ever think that this could happen?

    I saw you, didn't want to see you
    But even so I stole a glimpse
    And our eyes met for an instant
    And I saw you like I used to
    But I'll never look at you again

    Don't ever look at me again
    I wouldn't want to feel the pain
    From all these nights of yearning
    Well I suppose I'm learning
    Why did I ever think that this could happen?

    Don't ever look at me again
    I never want to see your face again
    You've torn me up and left me here
    Well now I'm empty but sincere
    When I say I'll never think of you
    And I know that since we're through
    I'll never have to spend another night dreaming of you
    I never liked you anyway
    I never gave a fuck anyway
    I never thought that I'd say that I can't stand you
    But now I see you with him
    His perfect looks and stupid grin
    And now I just want to kill you both
    You look so happy and you've left me with nothing
    I never want to see you again
    I never want to see you again
    I never want to see you again
    I never want to see you again.
