in which sunny music is called for during a very warm november

so, here we are, friends, in november, and it's in the 90's here in socal. WHAT THE EFF? sigh. i dream of days where i can wear sweaters, scarves, and drink hot drinks outside.

but! while i was driving home after dropping my kids off at preschool, this song popped up on my ipod. and with the car windows open, warm breezes floating in, and this playing loudly, life was good. intelligentactile 101 by jesca hoop is so flipping cheery! it's like someone took two handfulls of poppy happiness and shoved them into my speakers.



intelligentactile 101 is off of jesca's new album hunting my dress. buy it HERE.

can i borrow your bones and marrow
till i get my own?
lovely, lovely, lovely bones till i get my own
i won't tell me new friends that they're on loan
they won't know
it's no smart thing to do when you're far from home

can i borrow your skin blushing, to get lucky in
lucky, lucky, lucky with a special friend
well i hear that on planet earth that it's a sin, big sin
well all the more fun for me to get lucky then

ohhh, i'm gonna be a baby girl
a round ticket to a blue planet
flip a uey at mars
ohhh i'm gonna swim in the water first
blowin' up her belly though she didn't plan it
i took the invitation when she rocked the hammock
pullin' all the wild cards
and now i'm swinging from the stars
from an umbilical chord, from an umbilical chord
feels like i've been here before

on my tongue, on my tongue
i want your fingers on my tongue
i want some intelligent tactile
when foreign play things come
i'm gonna study 'em with my tongue
i want some intelligantactile 101

can i borrow your hips and your lips
and your wink and curl
is i is or is i ain't one flossy girl
i'm gonna paint that planet red
cuz i'm in the world
in the world
and leave a trail of kisses when my loves unfurled

will you steady my ground
dizzy ground when i'm turned around
dizzy, dizzy, dizzy ground
when i'm lost you'll found
well i'm headed to planet earth to seach the sound
deep sound
so keep my compass wound when i'm on the ground

ohhhh i'm gonna be a baby girl...
from an umbilical chord...
on my tongue...
