One More Hour
in one more hour
i will be gone
in one more hour
i'll leave this room
the dress you wore
the pretty shoes
are things i left
behind for you
oh, you've got the darkest eyes
I needed it
(i know it's so hard for you to let it go
i know it's so hard for you to
say goodbye
i know you need a little more time)
if you could talk
what would you say
for you thing were
just night and day
take off the dress
take off the face
i'll hold you close
before i leave
don't say another word
about the other girl
i will be gone
in one more hour
i'll leave this room
the dress you wore
the pretty shoes
are things i left
behind for you
oh, you've got the darkest eyes
I needed it
(i know it's so hard for you to let it go
i know it's so hard for you to
say goodbye
i know you need a little more time)
if you could talk
what would you say
for you thing were
just night and day
take off the dress
take off the face
i'll hold you close
before i leave
don't say another word
about the other girl

Turn It On
don't say the word
if you don't want it done
don't tell me your name
if you don't want it sung
don't come any closer
that's good enough
don't go away
i can't stand the thought
it's too warm
inside your hands
it's too hard
it's too good
it's just that when you touched me
i could not stand up
i fell into
i fell down
why can't you tell me
is it worth a fight
do i sound crazy
well i just might
why do your words
have to ring so false
why do your eyes
have to change so much
if you don't want it done
don't tell me your name
if you don't want it sung
don't come any closer
that's good enough
don't go away
i can't stand the thought
it's too warm
inside your hands
it's too hard
it's too good
it's just that when you touched me
i could not stand up
i fell into
i fell down
why can't you tell me
is it worth a fight
do i sound crazy
well i just might
why do your words
have to ring so false
why do your eyes
have to change so much

The Drama Youve Been Craving
Oh, I wait (I'm a time bomb)
For something more today (I'm a fuse)
You know the place, it stinks (my tongue is tired)
I smell like despair (from over-use)
All the bridges gonna burn
Gonna fall down (is it all on you?)
Burn it down, it's so hot, it's so hot, hot
The clock, I'm punching in (I'm a monster)
Work 'til I can't give (I'm a machine)
Now there's no time left (and where I'm headed)
No time left for anything (it's so obscene)
All the drama that you crave
That you want, want (is it all on you?)
That you crave, that you want, that you want, want
Kick it in
Kick it in
Kick it in
Kick it in
All the bridges gonna fall
Gonna burn down
Burn it down, it's so hot, it's so hot, hot
All the drama that you crave
That you want, want (is it all on you?)
That you crave, that you want, that you want, want
Oh, I wait
(I've got drama)
For something more today
(On the brain)
For something more today (I'm a fuse)
You know the place, it stinks (my tongue is tired)
I smell like despair (from over-use)
All the bridges gonna burn
Gonna fall down (is it all on you?)
Burn it down, it's so hot, it's so hot, hot
The clock, I'm punching in (I'm a monster)
Work 'til I can't give (I'm a machine)
Now there's no time left (and where I'm headed)
No time left for anything (it's so obscene)

That you want, want (is it all on you?)
That you crave, that you want, that you want, want
Kick it in
Kick it in
Kick it in

Burn it down, it's so hot, it's so hot, hot

Not What You Want
Saw johnny at the store
I said "Get your car let's hit the road"
"Oh tell me baby what's wrong?"
He said "Tell me baby what's wrong?"
Do do do do....
She's on fire now
You think you wanna watch
I think you'd better not)
Do you wanna get the wheel
Swerve my heart
It pounds with steel
"Oh tell me baby what's wrong?"
He said "Tell me baby what's wrong?"
It's not what you want it's everything (x4)
Got my foot on the floor
We'll go 80 95 maybe more
"Tell me baby what's wrong?"
He said "Tell me baby what's wrong?"
It's not what you want it's everything (x4)
Hold me out, you're my girl
It's not what you want it's everything (x4)
I said "Get your car let's hit the road"
"Oh tell me baby what's wrong?"
He said "Tell me baby what's wrong?"

Buy Her Candy
hey don't you wanna
run and call her name
if i buy her candy
will she know who i am
she's famous
she's the best
cannot lay
my heart to rest
she is selfish
she is kind
no one can say
she is mine
like water like spring
fickle fancy fickle girl
rain down from the sky
when i need you the most
run and call her name
if i buy her candy
will she know who i am

no one can say

Things You Say
you got your words
but they make you stuck
now you can't feel
now you can't want
it's just too messy
it's just too think
is it too scary
is it too real
it is one desire
burning hot and bright
it could fill up the sky
it could fill me up
worth the trouble
it is brave to feel
it is brave to be alive
you write it down
you strategize
never go over
your little lines
but i'll breathe the air
i'll stop the clock
i'll touch the sky
and say what i want
but they make you stuck
now you can't feel
now you can't want
it's just too messy
it's just too think
is it too scary
is it too real
it is one desire
burning hot and bright
it could fill up the sky
it could fill me up
worth the trouble
it is brave to feel
it is brave to be alive
you write it down
you strategize
never go over
your little lines
but i'll breathe the air
i'll stop the clock
i'll touch the sky
and say what i want

Dance Song 97
Well you know there ain't no doubt
When the feeling finds you out
You know you can try to run
I tell you it still will come
When you feel your body shake
Trip and fall you can't walk straight
Baby then you know it's done
You can feel your heart is stung
You're the one that i saw
You're the one that i want
Well you can try to keep it down
Try not to let the words come out
But i tell you it's no use
In your eyes they see right through
If you're going way too hard
If you're feeling way too much
But inside you can't stop
Desire she eats you up
You're the one that i saw
You're the one that i want
When the feeling finds you out
You know you can try to run
I tell you it still will come
When you feel your body shake
Trip and fall you can't walk straight
Baby then you know it's done
You can feel your heart is stung
You're the one that i saw
You're the one that i want
Well you can try to keep it down
Try not to let the words come out
But i tell you it's no use
In your eyes they see right through
If you're going way too hard
If you're feeling way too much
But inside you can't stop
Desire she eats you up
You're the one that i saw
You're the one that i want

Jenny
do you see her face
when she's gone
sometimes so bright
your heart just stops
did she answer you
your other half
you know they say
she comes just once
i am the girl
i am the ghost
i am the wife
i am the one
so you want to forget
live in the dark
was she just to close
to everything
when she's gone
sometimes so bright
your heart just stops
did she answer you
your other half
you know they say
she comes just once
i am the girl
i am the ghost
i am the wife
i am the one
so you want to forget
live in the dark
was she just to close
to everything

Dig Me Out is the third studio album by the American rock band Sleater-Kinney, released on April 8, 1997, by Kill Rock Stars. The album was produced by John Goodmanson and recorded from December 1996 to January 1997 at John and Stu's Place in Seattle, Washington. Dig Me Out marked the debut of Janet Weiss, who would become the band's longest-serving drummer.
The music on the record was influenced by traditional rock and roll bands, while the lyrics deal with issues of heartbreak and survival. The album cover is an homage to the Kinks' 1965 album The Kink Kontroversy.
Two singles were released in support of the album: "One More Hour" and "Little Babies". The title track "Dig Me Out" peaked at number six on the KEXP Top 90.3 Album Chart in 1997 without being released as a single. The album was acclaimed by music critics, who praised the album's energy and feminist lyrics.
Retrospectively, Dig Me Out is considered the band's breakthrough record and is frequently included on several publications' best album lists. In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked it No. 189 on its list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
