An uncut stone is flawed and beautiful 









It's a caper theme,
there's a getaway car
A diamond to steal,
a plan that might go wrong
If this is a set up,
please let me know
I can't risk my life for a guilded stone

I thought all along
this was everything
Try not to look to hard
to find that it's not real
I knew all along you weren't everything
Then in the darkest hour
I watched you disappear


Sleater-Kinney welds this broken-hearted song into a diamond heist. The guitar in the song mimics the song's themes, parlaying around, almost creepily until it belts into some heavy riffs.

"I'm not the one you wanted. Not the thing you keep - I'm on to you." The lyrics above are actually sang line by line at the same time mirroring the concepts - but at the end of the day, she's lost something important, and everything else just doesn't seem to matter.
