Barren Egg Lyrics

Another barren egg
Another month gone by
Just more time to do as I please
No one's watching over me

Don't have to make my bed
Can lay in it instead
No one there to bother me

'Cause I'm free
It's just me
I'm free
Nobody but me

Another friend got caught
Another friend, knocked out
Another friend with nothing in common with me

Another night with you
Spending time with you
Still alone 'cause you're the freest man I've ever known

I'm free
It's just me
I'm free
Nobody but me

I'm free, save me
I'm free as the snow as it melts away
Free as the wind on a real calm day
Free as the moth on my windowpane
Like you, like me

Another barren egg
Another year gone by
Just more time to do as I please
No one's tugging at my sleeve

I can be as rude as I please
No one's gonna fire me
Floating in this endless sea

I'm free
It's just me
I'm free
Nobody but me

I'm free
Help me
I'm free

Another barren egg

Jill Sobule (born January 16, 1965 in Denver, Colorado) is an American singer-songwriter best known for the then-controversial song, I Kissed a Girl (not to be confused with the 2008 Katy Perry hit song of the same name) and for Supermodel from the soundtrack of the hit 1995 film Clueless. In 1990, she released her debut album Things Here Are Different. Over the next sixteen years, she would go on to record five more records, three EPs and a greatest hits compilation. Though her albums are often critically acclaimed, Sobule remains more of an underground artist, playing for fans across the United States in smaller, more personal settings.

In many of her songs, she incorporates humor into a narrative, some tracks ultimately becoming catchy anecdotes. Generally, her songs are unconventionally folk-like, using horn arrangements not found in tracks recorded by mainstream artists. Sobule also uses both satire and experience to sing about sexuality, depression, war, abandonment, and creed. Read more on Last.fm.
