My name is trouble my first name's a mess
No need to greet me i'm here to confess
But if you let me hold you i won't hold my breath
And if you let me love you i will love to death
My chances endless i tend to obsess
No game is out to my need to possess
But if you let me hold you i won't hold my breath
And if you let me love you i will love you to death
I'm petrified of emptiness a lot of signs of loneliness
Our love has tend to break me in two
If you're to come back to me, pieces ... melody
There couldn't be a better way through
My name is trouble my first name's a mess
Born to deceive you brought up to redress
And if you let me hold you i won't hold my breath
But if you make me need you i will need you less
I'm petrified of emptiness a lot of signs of loneliness
Our love has tend to break me in two
If you're to come back to me, pieces...melody
There couldn't be a better way through
My name is trouble my first name's a mess
No need to greet me i'm here to confess
And if you let me hold you i won't hold my breath
And if you let me love i will love to death
If you let me hold you i won't hold my breath
And if you let me love you i will love you to death
No need to greet me i'm here to confess
But if you let me hold you i won't hold my breath
And if you let me love you i will love to death
My chances endless i tend to obsess
No game is out to my need to possess
But if you let me hold you i won't hold my breath
And if you let me love you i will love you to death

Am I the only one who looks at this album cover and gets a flashback to Agent 99 on the old Get Smart TV show ;)

She's Israeli, huh? Then that must be a Desert Eagle she's proudly holding on this album cover, then! Yeahhhh!!
Nice bass line furshur!

The look on her face implies she is considering whether she needs to do more to finish the job, so perhaps the intention to fire remains.

Loved this song from first listen. Enough to buy the CD. Still do.
The bass riff coming out into the organ is simply perfect.

I love this today, right now…
I've learned that it is usually accurate to listen to what people say. For example, if somebody says they are "trouble," it's worth considering the strong possibility that they may, indeed, be "trouble." It is then up to you to decide if that particular kind of trouble is trouble that you want to be associated with. Just something I wish I knew back when I was young...
I always hear the refrain from "I'm Not Lisa" by Jessi Coulter and it causes a momentary temporal dislocation. Still giving it a 7 for its quirkiness.

Sounds goldfrappy.
And, this is an issue....why? Ms. Goldfrapp has just as beautiful a voice. Time to get the ears tuners, otherwise known as Qtips out, and do a self tune up!!I read Karen... and see a gun.
sweet voice
Crikey...what an eerily perfect coronavirus lyric and song.
Love the quirkiness of this song (as well as the video). When I create a station in Pandora (or other streaming apps) based on this song, I get NOTHING that is anything like this song - bummer.
"My name is trOble," what?
Love the organ/synth work here...
I'll bump my 5 to a 6 on this one....simply for the fact she spells Keren the way she does....which reminds me of a former fantastic co-worker who spelled it likewise...and well damn now I feel like going up another 1....7 it is! Long Live RP!!
Too St. Vincent.
Haven't heard this in a long time. Thanks Bill!

"My name is trouble, my first names A Mess."
HA! That should be the theme statement for every relationship I've ever gone into for lust only reasons.

Yes gets my vote wonderful Bass line ..love her voice ... as for the lyrics .. well to all critics if you dont like the words block them out and listen to her voice as another instrument , it certainly races along and a wonderful beat throughout. and with her peculiar voice it certainly made me sit up when it came on.
I usually try to just stay silent about music I don't like at all... Especially when it's on an irrational, emotional level.
But I really dislike this one a lot.
Not Keren Ann per se, there are admirable songs by her.
This one just makes run to stop it whenever it comes up.
Someone said silly, that's pretty close to what I feel... The music doesn't match the lyrics, it's conceptual, it's a creation of the mind that didn't translate well into reality...
One of the few '5's I've given to anything played on RP.

In that case, by all means, don't pose with weapons. I sure wouldn't... One of the most silly songs of recent years.
Ms. Ann sounds a lot like Annie Clark of St. Vincent.

I like this song but there's just no goddamned way I'm going to pay $1.29 + tax for it. Once again the record companies screw the pooch. If they can't make a profit from 99 cents a throw then they need to fold their tents.
This still sticks in my mental craw: going to Borders and seeing $19.99 for a pop CD. When you charge those kind of idiot prices, people will pirate digital media. It happened to music, it's happening to movies and it will happen to e-books if the publishers get dickheaded about prices or copy protection schemes.

Amy Winehouse sounds much more like trouble than Keren Ann.
Cloying, repetitive, lacking depth. As, I suppose, befits its lyrical content.
I really like this song - agree with other posts that she's got a great voice and digging the bass line.
First place I heard this song...on RP. Still sings my life....:)

and I know first hand where your at right now - you made me split a gut, man!
A well done effort overall! :o))
Listened to the whole disc and found it pretty interesting.
This track is not at all musically like the rest of the disc. The rest are more edgy in a laid back way.

This has nothing to do with the song, really, but the array of gunnery-related jokes that have followed are some of the laugh-out-loud funniest posts I've read here in a while. No disrespect, but WTF?!

Scary as hell being on a combined forces gunnery range with M1s, Bradleys, and foot soldiers, shooting and moving in concert laying down suppressive fire. Stuff blowing up left and right. Tracer rounds flying and ricocheting every which way. When the apaches show and start laying waste to anything down range with that 30mm cannon it's like hell itself is coming out of the ground. I never want to go to war and I tip my hat to any soldier past, present, and future.

People who don't shoot always seem confused at the fact that I find shooting relaxing. They always picture a madman at the range shooting angrily and getting more worked up with each shot. I shoot mostly long-range, and in fact, shooting is the most relaxing activity I've ever found. Focusing on relaxing every single muscle in your body, shooting between breaths, even heartbeats...talk about being in the zone. Leaving the range I feel like what returning from a weekend at a spa retreat must feel like, for the people who enjoy that sort of thing.
That said, this is a really cool song!
Used to love target shooting with my dad... He was a collector of mostly old military rifles and "old west" revolvers: loved the M-1 carbine and M-14 rifle. Mauser 98 7.92mm carbine kicked like a mule but would make large plastic containers filled with water explode with considerable force from a long distance. The old Colt peacemakers were also a fave.
Other than lots of paper targets and large water jugs, we never harmed any living creature with these weapons. We enjoyed the noise, fire and the smell of powder...and the challenge of being able to hit far-away targets. I must agree that it can be relaxing, as long as you are aware of the safety issues (e.g. muzzle always down range, action clear before putting gun down, etc..)

Anyone in the US today who doesn't know how to pick up a gun, check if its loaded, unload it, and handle it safely has missed a key point- YES, even you yuppies in Santa Monica... Get down to the range, hire the instructor for an hour, and for a few bucks save your own life (or maybe some innocent kid's life), ferchrissakes.

People who don't shoot always seem confused at the fact that I find shooting relaxing. They always picture a madman at the range shooting angrily and getting more worked up with each shot. I shoot mostly long-range, and in fact, shooting is the most relaxing activity I've ever found. Focusing on relaxing every single muscle in your body, shooting between breaths, even heartbeats...talk about being in the zone. Leaving the range I feel like what returning from a weekend at a spa retreat must feel like, for the people who enjoy that sort of thing.
That said, this is a really cool song!
Yes indeed, very Zen-ish. Especially small-bore (.22 cal) outdoor 25 meters. Then there is always the outdoor .177 air pistol events they have in Germany. I've fired just about all kinds of weapons in my Army days. Much prefer the General Electric GAU 30mm Chain Gun with depleted uranium discarding sabot tracer as attached to the chin of a nice rotating set of wings with a 3-D HUD which mixes thermal, RADAR and visual TV.

Am I the only one who looks at this album cover and gets a flashback to Agent 99 on the old Get Smart TV show ;)

I do shoot large bore handguns for recreation. Its very reflective— exactly the same as Zen archery in that it focuses the mind totally on one point; intense in that if you're not focused, you can kill yourself and people around you. Also, a bolt of fire comes blasting from your hand. Pretty cool.
