Veruca Salt reshaped the jagged, abrasive punk-pop of the Pixies and Breeders into a more accessible, riff-driven power pop formula that also borrowed from pop/hard rockers like Cheap Trick. It was a successful formula, both musically and commercially, yet it didn't ensure them indie rock credibility; in fact, they became one of the most harshly criticized bands of the post-Nirvana alternative rock era. Led by guitarist/vocalists Louise Post and Nina Gordon, and also featuring bassist Steve Lack and drummer Jim Shapiro (Gordon's brother), Veruca Salt released their debut single, "Seether"/"All Hail Me," in 1994 on a Chicago-based independent label, Minty Fresh. Produced by Brad Wood (Liz Phair), the record became a word-of-mouth sensation, working its way to alternative and college radio stations. While supporting Hole on their fall tour, Veruca Salt released their debut album, American Thighs, on Minty Fresh, yet they soon cut a deal with Geffen, who re-released the album. "Seether" became an MTV hit as well, and soon the single was an across-the-board success. However, the group received scathing criticism from magazines and fanzines, claiming the band was nothing but rip-off artists, using Minty Fresh as a way to gain credibility. Nevertheless, the group's popularity didn't suffer, and American Thighs went gold, even though their next two singles — "Number One Blind" and "All Hail Me" — didn't attract half the attention of "Seether." After releasing the stopgap, Steve Albini-produced EP Blow It Out Your Ass It's Veruca Salt in 1996, the band returned in early 1997 with Eight Arms to Hold You, which found the band moving toward hard rock and heavy metal; although critical reaction was even more mixed, the album still reached gold sales status. Shortly after the album was completed, Shapiro left the band, and was replaced by former Letters to Cleo drummer Stacy Jones. Meanwhile, in the wake of rumors that Gordon and Post had been considering solo projects, it was confirmed in early 1998 that Gordon had also decided to leave the band and pursue a separate solo career. Undeterred, Post regrouped Veruca Salt as her own project, with a new lineup of guitarist Stephen Fitzpatrick, bassist Suzanne Sokol, and drummer Jimmy Madla; in the wake of the corporate merger that swallowed Geffen Records, Post also elected to jump ship, signing a new deal with Beyond. After taking time to craft new material, Post entered the studio with her new band and recorded Resolver, which was released in the spring of 2000.

Don't get it back, Don't get it back The more you want it, the less you're gonna get back. I'm running out, I don't know when to stop. I thought I'd wait till I saw the penny drop. It started raining, pennies falling in my lap. And I could spend it, but I'd never get it back. Don't get it back Don't get it back The more you want it, the less you're gonna get back.

That was a time for falling, I knew you well. There was no time for calling, Me when you fell. This is a time to take cover , In a wishing well. Summer was blowing all over me when you fell, Sailors can take all the breathing Out of the sail, I took a trip when you needed me. When you fell, Waters were driving me To a deep place I close my eyes to see, Your sweet face, A coke can beside me, I slept in hell. Angels can be so deceiving When they love you well, Did you think you would be leaving me These are some lavender flowers In a broken shell They comfort me ever since the day when you fell. When you fell, Waters were dancing me In a dark place, I close my eyes to see Your determined face, My secret inside me I slept in hell. This is a time for believing In fairy tales, One in which you are brought back to me. Wolf, I cried wolf. Wolf, I cried wolf. Wolf, I cried wolf. Celebrate you
I wear my patent leather shoes, And my golden fleeces, A feather in my hair for you, And then I fall to pieces. At your celebration (oh-oh, oh-oh) Celebration (Oh-oh, Oh-oh) X2 Celebrate you. We're quiet as two mannequins Feasting on silences. We wait for Christmas to begin To see the cracking faces. I tip my glass a toast to you, The blood spills on the carpet. At your celebration (oh-oh, oh-oh) Celebration (Oh-oh, Oh-oh) ( X2 ) Celebrate you. And in the dream you held a gun, You killed off all who hurt you, And left me there the only one Who would not dare desert you. I'm safe here growing in the shade, Away from all the brightness. I lost my innocence today When I learned how to write this. Tonight my nightgown is in knots. I toss and turn in your honor. I'll never know just what I've got As long as you're my father. And I'll keep searching here for you, I'll clean out every corner. It's not my fault. It's not my fault. (celebrate you) X3 It's not my fault. Fly

This is my favorite disease, I am sleeping in his dreams And the TV is on , It is seeping into me, It is guiding my dreams, It is only three So it's jeopardy You can go and burst my tiny bubble Blow me off without a care But I am sleeping where I want to. This is my favorite time I can sleep until the phone rings And I doubt that it will. You can go and burst my tiny bubble Blow me off without a care But I am sleeping where I want to.

Disconnected ( Next message ) Disconnected, it's the way that I wanted it to be The Cult Electric is my favorite record of the week Cause I'm not feeling sweet But I can't say that when everyone is so judgmental And I can't play back all the times when you were gentle Cause even you can't be true It's astounding what love can do to a city Laurel Canyon was the best place for you and me to be I chose the curtains and I dreamed a dream of domesticity What a freak you made of me Now I'm on Zoloft because you told me I was crazy And I won't jump cause now I know you'd never catch me And I can't leave you because you swore you'd never let me But even you, talk shit too. It's January when I jumped the fence of your backyard Finish the fairy tale that you weren't drunk enough to start It's kind of scary when your lover leaves you for a movie star But I'm still in the dark But you have trained me to watch my back and drop my standards And you have shamed me since the first time you were with her And you cant make me love your band or buy your records Cause you have tainted my respect for your adventures And you will never have the chance to trace my features And you will never make me feel like such a loser And you can have the past 'cause I'm in love with the future I'm in love with the future And I have met a boy Who makes you look so shallow (I'm in love with the future) And there is so much time And so much space to travel (I'm in love with the future) And I will make the climb and I will kiss the gravel (I'm in love with the future) (Touch the sky) (It's kinda scary) And I will kiss the gravel (I'm in love with the future) (Touch the sky) (It's kinda scary) And I will kiss the gravel I'll touch the sky I'll touch the sky Watch me..watch me I'll touch the sky I'll touch... The sky, the sky
All dressed up Don't you see I'm the one for you, you're the one for me Don't you see The love I've got is the love you need Don't you see I'm all dressed up To be what you want Me to be I'm all dressed up To be what you want me to be I'm all dressed up All dressed up, all dressed up Don't you see, don't you see The infinite possibilities Don't you need, don't you need The kind of love that I need Don't you see me, don't you see me I'm all dressed up To be what you want me to be I'm all dressed up To be what you taught me to be I'm all dressed up All messed up, all messed up You don't even notice me Moving you like a ton of glaciers You don't even notice me Soothing you like a long lost sister You don't even care No you don't even care All dressed up With no place to go But home, but home I'm all dressed up To be what you want me to be I'm all dressed up To be what you want me to be I'm all dressed up All dressed up, all dressed up You don't even comfort me And carry on with the will of Samson You don't even comfort me You keep your faith and you keep your phantoms And you don't even care No you don't even care All dressed up still there's something wrong I'm all dressed up and you're just a song I'm all dressed up you're forever gone everlong You don't even care No you don't even care You don't even care No you don't even care You don't even care No you don't even care You don't even care No you don't even care You don't even care No you don't even care You don't even care

Pretty boys Last night I dreamt you were gay It was all you needed to say Finally an answer for why you dont want me that way Last year I slept in your arms Slept right through the alarm But now you live in Virginia, alone on a farm Boys Will be Boys Boys Will be Boys Girls can't avoid Pretty Boys Last July I came untied My trousers , my bra , and my pride You were so confident that I would let you inside. Back of the bus in Berlin That was the summer of sin Bryan and Richie pounding the bottle of gin Liars and lovers Twin brothers Never win Boys Will be Boys Boys Will be Boys Girls can't avoid Pretty Boys Girls can't avoid Pretty Boys No girls can't avoid Pretty Boys
Hellraiser Weren't you the pilot who fell from the skies Was it a big mistake or just plain homicide How does it feel on the other side Do you hang out with the saints or the spies Are you still hellraising Are you still hellraising Hellraising Is this the kind of thing we always fear Are you so bent on hell you'd leave me up here God bless the miles we travelled too fast God help the suckers dead in your path Are you still hellraising Are you still hellraising Hellraising You will pay for your mistakes You will pay for your mistakes You will pay for your mistakes You will pay This love was born on crutches, crippled and bored Ripped out asleep and strangled by a phone cord Weren't you the pilot who swerved off the course Was it disaster or just plain force?

Side Of The Road ( Demo / Lucinda Williams Cover ) You wait in the car on the side of the road Let me go and stand a while I want to know you're there but i wanna be alone If only for a minute or two I want to feel what it feels like to be without you I want to know the touch of my own skin Against the sun against the wind I walked out in a field The grass was high It brushed against my leg I just stood and looked out at the open space And a farmhouse out a ways And i wonder about the people who lived in it And i wonder if they were happy and content And with many children and a man and a wife And did she love him and take her hair down at night If i stray away too far from you Don't go out and try to find me It doesn't mean i don't love you It doesn't mean i won't come back and stay beside you It only means i need a little time To follow that unbroken line To a place where the wild things grow To a place where i used to always go La la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la If only for a minute or two I want to see what it feels to be without you To know the touch of my own skin Against the sun against the wind Sleeper Car ( Volcano Girls part 1 EP ) Bright you are Bigger than the both of us Though I'm a star I can't burn that bright Tiger car Swerving forward into us Now here we are Sleeper car Now you're backing into me Oh, where you are Feels good for now Although my arms Ache harder than they ever have You drive so far Sleeper car Now you're backing into me Oh, where you are Feels good for now Sleeper car Now you're backing into me Now you're backing into me Now you're backing into me Sleeper car Now you're backing into me Oh, where you are Feels good for now Although my arms Ache harder than they ever have You drive so far, yeah You drive so far You drive so hard You drive so hard

Tell me what you wanted Tell me what you wanted Tell me, tell me She's the one never gets what she wanted She's the one doesn't get what she does have Got a daughter with the eyes of a genius Who's got a mother, don't matter That's where it all breaks down Mommy dearest, kinda Vegas, she's a freak scene Over-rated, unrefined, she's a dope fiend No one stays, wonder why, she's a bad dream Someone wake me up it's hot as hell here I don't wanna go where there's smoke and mirrors Take me to the desert where air is clear I'd rather hang out on the strip with the cokehead queers Then take an order from a killer Your atmosphere is rotten You may want me but I don't want you back She's a drag, kind of lame, leaves a bad taste After hours prop her up, she's in outer space Get some balls, be a pro, be a man Wanna get there faster but she can't come down Hey, I don't wanna go where there's smoke and mirrors Take me to the desert where air is clear I'd rather hang out on the strip with the cokehead queers Then take a lesson from a loser Your atmosphere is rotten You may want me but I don't want you back You may need me but I don't need you back You may love me but I don't love you back Tell me what you wanted Tell me what you wanted Tell me what you wanted Tell me, tell me I don't wanna go where there's smoke and mirrors Take me to the place where the coast is clear I'd rather hang out on the strip with the cokehead queers Then take an order from a killer Your atmosphere is poison I don't wanna go where there's smoke and mirrors Take me to the desert where air is clear I'd rather hang out on the strip with the cokehead queers Then be a traitor to my gender I'm outta here Oh oh oh, smoke and mirrors
Solve My Problems Today ( Ashtar Command feat. Louise Post ) Something strange lately Don't feel anything down in my soul Of this psychic radiation Just another sign that we've been sold We've got to change our resolution Forget the things that we've been told We've got to start a revolution Everyone has lost control Solve my problems today Cause they won't go away And I don't want them all in the next life Solve my problems today Cause they won't go away Talk of change lately But everything's been done before Of this cosmic radiation Just another form of rock 'n' roll We've got to change our resolution Forget the things that we've been told We've got to start a revolution Everyone has lost control Solve my problems today Cause they won't go away And I don't want them all in the next life X3 Solve my problems today Cause they won't go away Solve my problems today Cause they won't go away And I don't want them all in the next life X5
Somebody ( Depeche mode tribute ) I want somebody to share Share the rest of my life Share my innermost thoughts Know my intimate details Someone who'll stand by my side And give me support And in return He'll get my support He will listen to me When I want to speak About the world we live in And life in general Though my views may be wrong They may even be perverted He will hear me out And won't easily be converted To my way of thinking In fact he'll often disagree But at the end of it all He will understand me I want somebody who cares For me passionately With every thought and with every breath Someone who'll help me see things In a different light All the things I detest I will almost like I don't want to be tied To anyone's strings I'm carefully trying to steer clear Of those things But when I'm asleep I want somebody Who will put their arms around me And kiss me tenderly And things like this Make me sick In a case like this I'll get away with it *** A great thanx to Rafet For this one ***

Tragic
( Demo 2003 )
I'm tragically opposed to a truce with you I'm passive in repose, I'm not used to you I've had it with terrible terrible waste We broke it off in haste, how tragic And I look for you on the road And I look for you in the haze And I look for you in time And I search for you in space Will magic mend our open wounds We wreaked havoc on each others' hearts, how tragic How tragic, I'm destined to love you I manage to survive in the absence of you And I look for you on the road And I look for you in the haze And I look for you in time And I search for you in space How tragic, how tragic How tragic, it's all static It's all traffic, it's all tragic Tragic
