A rough demo, recorded by my own band the Lazy Workaholics, which means it's myself playing all the instruments. I read recently that Celine Dion, worried about her unhip image, was planning to do an album of songs full of references to drugs, illicit sex, masturbation, rape and menstruation. She was saying she wanted to record stuff that would make Lou Reed sound like Barry Manilow (personally I could never tell them apart anyway). So I wrote this ditty with her in mind. Celine, it's yours if you want it!

I used some of my old drawings for the slide show.

Drawn to destruction by my fragile mental state.
Heading full-speed towards my private Watergate.
How can you say that I'm unfit to be your lover?
I'll prove you wrong the very minute I come over.

I'm a woman in love.

My monthly oil change is a long time overdue.
Raping my cell phone trying to get a hold of you.
How come you constantly deplore my table manners?
I love you, honey, that's the only thing that matters. 

I'm a woman in love.

I wish my sleeping pills stopped keeping me from sleep.
I wish my microwave stopped going beep-beep-beep.
How can you say I'm old enough to be your mother?
I'm 20, babe, you must be thinking of some other

Woman in love

I'm in my prime and beautiful -- what more can you expect?
Sooner or later, babe, you must show some respect
For this woman in love.
