Hate Yourself

Hate Yourself is the 4th song on TV Girl's 2014 album "French Exit"

[Verse 1]

You, you'd fall in love with anyone

I think you'd fall in love with anyone

Who fell in love with you

And they frequently do

So take comfort

Cruel comfort

Before you start to wonder

How you got locked inside your room

[Chorus]

And how long will it

Take before you start to hate yourself and go

Straight to the arms of someone else and I'll just

Wait 'til those arms belong to me and I'm not

Saying that you love me

I'm not saying any

Thing

[Verse 2]

Tell me, do you let them down gently?

Does it only make it harder?

To let the feeling linger

To drag it out a little longer

Does it put your mind at ease?

But you're the one who brought 'em here

You're the one who has to take 'em when you leave

[Chorus]

And how long will it

Take before you start to hate yourself and go

Straight to the arms of someone else and I'll just

Wait 'til those arms belong to me and I'm not

Saying that you love me

I'm not saying any

Thing

[Chorus]

And how long will it

Take before you start to hate yourself and go

Straight to the arms of someone else and I'll just

Wait 'til those arms belong to me and I'm not

Saying that you love me

I'm not saying any

Louise

Louise is the 3rd song on TV Girl's 2014 album "French Exit"

“And, uh, there’s a song there, that’s, that’s coming from, you know, from inside me.”

[Verse 1]

Louise, she just wasn't thinking

When she climbed into his bed

She only wanted to lie beside him

To hell with his best friend

She woke him up and she whispered

But the answer wasn't good:

"Whatever made you think I would ever love you

Even if I could?"

[Chorus]

Louise (Louise)

You can't be anybody's friend

Louise (Louise)

I'll love you 'til I'm dead

Louise (Louise)

Not even if she likes the way you dance

Louise never heard about puppy love

'Cause they don't know that term in France

[Verse 2]

She came from across the country

Just to stare into her phone

She came to the same apartment

She only wanted to be left alone

And she could catch anybody's attention

But it never won her friends

Love could kick you out on the streets

But it never paid your rent

[Chorus]

Louise (Louise)

You can't be anybody's friend

Louise (Louise)

I'll love you 'til I'm dead

Louise (Louise)

Not even if she likes the way you dance

Louise never heard about puppy love

'Cause they don't know that term in France

 

 Birds Don’t Sing

Birds don’t sing is the 2nd song on TV Girl's 2014 album "French Exit"

[Verse 1]

She said "How could you joke at a time like this?

I know why, cause this is what you wanted all along now, isn't it?

I think that all you ever really ever wanted was a reason to complain

That never stopped you before, don't let it get in your way"

Those are her words, not mine

As far as I'm concerned, we could've had a good time

So, if you walk out that door in disgust

I guess there's nothing more to discuss

[Chorus]

Birds don't sing, they just fall from the sky

Girls don't call, and they never tell you why

That's just how they say goodbye

Goodbye

(Over and over again)

("Well, um...yes!")

("You'd do that to a woman?")

("You don't sound 'a little sick' to me.")

[Verse 2]

Don't listen to my music, don't lie in my bed

Don't listen to the references to things that you might have actually said

'Cause those are my words, not yours

As far as I'm concerned, it could have been a lot worse

I wasn't trying to avoid the confrontation

She isn’t crying, she’s just making conversation

[Chorus]

Birds don't sing, they just fall from the sky

Girls don't call, and they never tell you why

That's just how they say goodbye

Goodbye

(Over and over again)

("Well, um...yes!")

("You'd do that to a woman?")

 Pantyhose

Pantyhose is the 1st song on TV Girl's 2014 album "French Exit"

[Verse 1]

Boys marching to war

To certain defeat

They were younger than me

Guns poke through the trees

Death on a whim

They were aiming at him

[Hook 1]

And when the bullets came, he didn't duck

He wrapped her pantyhose around his neck

And he could feel their magic working

Keeping him from harm

Away to some place mystical and warm

His lucky charm

[Verse 2]

He got caught

No cover at all

He'd breathe in her scent

Not even a scratch

He didn't die

When he stepped on a mine

They were violet and soft

It didn't go off

[Hook 2]

And when her letter came, he didn't cry

He wrapped her pantyhose around his eyes

And he could feel their magic working

Keeping him from harm

Even though she didn't love him anymore

You can't kill a lucky charm

This song was directly based on a section in the book "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien, where a soldier named Henry Dobbins remarks on how he ties the pantyhose of his lover around his neck as a good-luck charm.
