lyrics

Jianni’s from Australia
but she’s here to stay,
with her hair like golden sunlight
on a summer’s day.
Her eyes caught the sun in Sydney
and there it remains,
it shines through her skin and laughter
makes the shadows sway

Chorus:
That Chinese blood of hers
is reaching for the fire
that was lit by Durrel books
Full of poetry or higher.
Her brain is full of words
from all the poets she admires
… she gets by fine…

Jianni doesn’t like the cold
it once made her weep
she was forced to wait for a night bus
when she needed sleep.
But she was out the next night,
the cold won’t keep her down;
you can’t help but feel warm inside
when Jianni’s around.

(Chorus)

Jianni’s got her own place now,
the cheapest place she took,
she travels with a trunk of clothes
And an Allen Ginsberg book.
She gets itchy thighs sometimes
and she’ll let you know
Jianni is beautiful
she’s all the boys in tow.

(Chorus)

Jianni’s from Australia
and she fell in love,
but it stopped her from being happy
so she gave it up.
And love and loss are a perfect way to
douse a flame
but jianni’s soul is burning,
she’ll burn again.

(Chorus)

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem. From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind
