Aimee Mann - Poor Judge Lyrics
Falling for you was always falling up
Leather books and surplus government chairs
I rose like smoke with the steam from your cup
A wave of heat where the lighter flares
To burn me like a tissue screen
My heart is a poor judge
It harbors an old grudge
Falling for you was a walk off a cliff
The dream of a car with the brake lines cut
The only way you can stop it is if
You turn around, keep the windows shut
You might have found some other reason
My heart is a poor judge
It harbors an old grudge
And I can see a light on
Calling me back to make the same mistake again
And I say no, when you ask me, no, when you ask me, no when you ask again
'Cause I won't let you pass me, won't let you pass me, won't let you pass to the sea that I'm [?]
Falling for you was a last ditch plan
You size me up with your thumb on the scale
I came up short, but you do what you can
The hammer's nothing without the nail
You might have found some other reason
To lead me to the guillotine
Your heart is a poor judge
It harbors an old grudge
I can see a light on
Calling me back to make the same mistake again

Que hermoso disco hiciste , Aimee
The Aimee piano songs are always the best. No exception here.
My favourite track on the album. Just so very very....
I hope this won't be the last time Roderick and Mann write together. Amazing song.
Bachelor #2, great. Lost In Space, ugh. Forgotten Arm, excellent. Smilers, ugh. Charmers, very good. Mental Illness, her best, most realized work with Poor Judge as the topper.
Biketime I loved Lost in Space and Smilers but couldn't get to grips with Charmers....but totally with you on Mental Ilness and Poor Judge
I love them all.
I loved lost in space. Moth to a flame was amazing. Don't know how you didn't like that one, but to each there own.
Thank you for sharing. :)
"Poor Judge"
Falling for you was always falling up
Leather books and surplus government chairs
I rose like smoke, or the steam from your cup
A wave of heat, where the lighter flares
You might have had some other reason
To burn me like a tissue screen
But my heart is a poor judge
And it harbors an old grudge
Falling for you was a walk off a cliff
A dream of a car with the brake lines cut
The only way you can stop it is if
You turn around, keep the windows shut
You might have had some other reason
To leave me in that dark ravine
But my heart is a poor judge
And it harbors an old grudge
And I can see your light on
Calling me back to make the same mistake again
And I say no, when you ask me, no, when you ask me, no when you ask again
'Cause I won't let it past me, won't let it past me, won't let it past, til I see that I'm last and then...

Best song on the album. So great. Cinematic.
Yup. Best song on the album. Treasure.
John Roderick brought me here.
Aimee Mann is brilliant.
Yes she is.
