Whip It Out 02:57
I barely know you It seems like risky ground to tread Got something to show you The conversation came to head My policy: equality Don't give myself away for free I gotta see that you want me for me Whip it out, whip it out Dish it if you take it Whip it out, whip it out Better not fake it Whip it out, whip it out Life is what you make it Whip it out, whip it out Ohhhhhhh But I don't owe you Don't want the game to be misled Got something for you I need your trust and confidence My policy: live honestly And be the change you want to see I've gotta be that best version of me Whip it out, whip it out Dish it if you take it Whip it out, whip it out Better not fake it Whip it out, whip it out Life is what you make it Whip it out, whip it out Ohhhhhhh I know you're scared to show yourself Lay it bare for everyone to see your flaws And make critiques I understand it's not so easy That's who I want to know You're who I want to know Whip it out. Dish it if you take it Whip it out, whip it out Better not fake it Whip it out, whip it out Life is what you make it Whip it out, whip it out Ohhhhhhh, whip it out

You're sleeping on the floor of your practice space in Allston Miles to burn with boys and girls who run your credit down You're headed for New York, but you never could shake Boston 'Cause everyone you learned to love was right here in this town You're named after a park that sits along the Charles You've never known bad luck, he wants to take you out And so you break in after dark and sneak along the cars Try not to wake the cops, and you can swim until you drown It's probably dumb to waste your luck on someone you just met last month But no one seems to mind that much when I can't get you to shut up So won't you please don't wear me out Please take care of yourself Please don't kill me in your car 'Cause you're driving way too far with the "check engine" light on You play the bands you've sucked, well I just think that's hot And now you're drinking in your car, going live and jerking off I know you want to make it out, but it seems like way too much It's probably dumb to waste your luck on someone you just met last month But no one seems to mind that much when I can't get you to shut up So won't you please don't wear me out Please take care of yourself Please don't kill me in your car You got tired of the bars, getting head in bathroom stalls So you shacked up, packed the car, and got a dog It's probably dumb to waste your luck on someone you just met last month But no one seems to mind that much when I can't get you to shut up And I don't want to see you fall But I can't take your calls I just want to hear your songs So won't you please don't wear me out Please take care of yourself Please don't kill me in your car

Limits 03:26
Say hi at the bar, but you're never alone Your face in the dark says I'll take it too far Get out of control if I don't go back home So I trip on the floor, run into the wall, fall down at my door 'Cause it's you in my blood I'm lost in my thoughts, I'm hating myself 'Cause I'm not used to this You make my head spin And it feels dangerous A world where you're off limits When I try to come down, keep my thoughts to myself and never announce How I'm looking around You got me compelled, and so overwhelmed 'Cause I'm not used to this You make my heart skip And it feels dangerous A world where you're off limits You said it wouldn't last long So when this is done, just give me a call If that's how fast you fall and I'm not enough Where did I go wrong? 'Cause I'm not used to this You make my head spin And it feels dangerous A world where you're off limits You fall in love quick Just give me a swift kick And it feels dangerous A world where you're off limits

Nostalgia 04:02
Rock & roll is such a bore They don't blow up cars anymore Or take a chainsaw to guitars It's just alcoholic white dudes emptying bars So who do you blame for writer's block when the whole world's become morally bankrupt? We put a bunch of pigs in charge Who do you call when the right words never come? Who do you call? Writing songs is such a chore I can't get past these same three chords And who can say your body's yours? It's not the same world anymore Soon the 90's will be classic rock We'll fly to Mars when Earth is gone So who do you blame for writer's block? Who do you call for prayers and thoughts? Who do you call? I'm drowning in nostalgia to have some limits pushed by art And not these idiots at large It's hard to keep on fighting 'Cause we stand up here and spill our guts As if it could make much of a difference So who do you blame when brave's not enough? Who do you call when they never believe us? Who do you call?

Fucking in your boyfriend's summer condo Fucking in your boyfriend's summer condo I know how to beat the heat Fucking in your boyfriend's summer condo Fucking in your boyfriend's summer condo And I can see my face in the pretty disco lights I am in a daze and that is just fine And I can see the day turning into night You're such a good host, so let's make the most of all our time, baby Some people look on Wikipedia to get their start But I have found my inspiration, it's wherever you are And I could tell you 'bout your body with a line in a song Or I could just show you my love And it's not like I'm a prude, just wanna be here with you Right here in this room, 'cause it's different with you And it's not like I'm deluded, just gotta get to you So we can spend an hour or two doing what we wanna do Fucking in your boyfriend's summer condo Fucking in your boyfriend's summer condo I know how to beat the heat Fucking in your boyfriend's summer condo Fucking in your boyfriend's summer condo You take a picture so he knows you're in the condo with me And when he gets his ass to Boston, it'll be us three All you have to do is keep it clean and stocked with weed and we'll be Fucking in your boyfriend's summer condo Summer condo Autumn condo Winter condo Summer condo

California 03:08
California is a money pit Maybe that's why you're not back to visit You're spending everything you earn on rent and dates with Internet girls All the venues here are shutting down Petty people gotta run this town And every statement is political, so you burn the whole place down You thought you'd find it out here, whatever you're looking for You thought that someone would care I know it's better than Fenway Park Drinking Miller with the Patriots Or hearing all the time to suck it up and act like an adult 'Cause you went from a shitty place in Allston to another shitty place in Hollywood Fell in love with a pretty girl on Facebook You say it's all good Thought that you would launch your music career But instead, you're getting fat on beer And play the venues you were playing here, well at least the weather's good And everybody says, I miss you, man But they don't really give a fuck, I imagine 'Cause they can see you on the Internet But I swear I really care You thought you'd find it out here, whatever you're looking for You thought that someone would care, you thought that life would hold more You thought you'd find it out here, whatever you're looking for (a shitty place in Allston) You thought that someone would care, you thought that life would hold more (a shitty place in Hollywood)

Courtney 02:00
Her name was Courtney from Valvoline She puts the oil in my oil machine And when she gets right inside my dreams I wish my car had maintenance needs Short shorts, button up, windows rolled down Tattooed octopus circling her arm She's got a half-off coupon into my heart What's the mileage on your car? Courtney, you can drive me farther When I cross Washington, I see that V I think of Courtney from Valvoline She fixed my filter, now I can breathe Until she looks right into my eyes Now my transmission's cut, I'm needing her help I stare at her butt, the serpentine belt is gathering dust My engine is hot What's the mileage on my car? Courtney, you can drive me farther But I don't have a car, so can I borrow yours? So Courtney takes me seriously And Courtney meets my maintenance needs And Courtney is so patient with me Courtney Courtney from Valvoline Courtney Courtney from Valvoline Courtney Courtney

about

PowerSlut's third studio album “Fun with Junk” explores the dark side of desire. Musically, it veers from punk thrash to anthemic indie rock to fuzz-washed guitar riffs and dirty funk grooves—and that’s just the first five songs. It deceives you (the opening track “Whip It Out” isn’t about exposing your junk so much as exposing your flaws) and takes you for a ride channeling The Cars (with guitar/synth rocker “Limits”), an orgiastic Donna Summer (see “Summer Condo,” featuring Erica Mantone on guest vocals), and the alt-country sting of Neko Case (on closing track “Courtney”). Recorded at Mad Oak Studios, New Alliance Audio, The Noise Floor, and Project Sound, this incarnation of PowerSlut (with founding members Linnea Herzog and John Bragg on guitars and vox, Matthew Girard on bass, and Mark Enet on drums) has defied all odds to present to you the best possible versions of these songs.
