Queen of the Mountain Live
Early 90's alternative pop with a lack of cohesion.
A band that never was. In the wilds of Minnesota Suburbia there arose a band so powerful that it could not exist. That band is Toothpick Gnau.
Story behind the song
From a better recorded rehearsal, I never realized how much our drummer sucked until I listen to these. This song could have been big and remains one of the best songs from the Steve Berg - Rob Aldrich team.
Lyrics
There was a time when you lived your own heart girl
There was a time when you lived your own soul
Memories of a beautiful angel
Well, they just can't make you whole
Your eyes were bright like a million candles
Your eyes were warm as the summer skies
Now wicked storms, they cloud the horizon
And I just don't know why
Used to be you were queen of the mountain
Yeah, used to be you were the one and only you
Used to be you had life right by the tail, babe
Whatever happened yesterday
Do you remember the beat of your passion
Do you remember the life in your soul
You were on top of your whole situation
But you never missed your goals, oh no
I remember when you first touched my heart, babe
I remember when you taught me how
To live my life for me and me alone girl
Where's that angel now
Used to be you were queen of the mountain
Yeah, used to be you were the one and only you
Used to be you had life right by the tail, my pretty darling
Now I wonder, oh yes I wonder
Where my angel went
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The one who saved me
Loved me and called me friend
Why'd you leave yourself?
Used to be you were queen of the mountain
Used to be you were the one and only you
Used to be you had life right by the tail, my pretty darling
Oh, I remember, yes I remember now
And I still hold true
To my lovely, my lovely angel blue
Oh, used to be you were queen of the mountain
Yeah, used to be you were the one and only you
Used to be you had life right by the tail, my pretty darling
What ever happened to yesterday
