專輯介紹
與五年前的《America's Sweetheart》相比，這次的Love明顯有了大變化，她不在一味地像個婊子般蠻橫憤怒，而是出人意料地唱起了憂傷和動人，滄桑和緬懷。《Pacific Coast Highway》很明顯是Love寫給Kurt的，“I knew a boy/He left me so ravaged/Do you even know the expense of the damage”，民謠式的開場讓這樣的獨白顯得悲愴不已。很難說清這是Love的偽善還是真誠，畢竟這個寡婦借Kurt刮油水搞噱頭也不是第一次。然而即使你有種種猜測和懷疑，但當Love用她略帶沙啞的嗓音唱出“And I've lost myself completely/I look to you my shooting star”這般無助的詞句，以及在《For Once In Your Life》中一遍遍重複“So what can I do”時，你又怎能不為之動容？
當然這張專輯也不儘是對Kurt的矯情懷念，在談到《Stand Up Motherf*cker》的創作初衷時，Love講述了一個小插曲：“我的外祖母在接受《New York Times》的採訪時聲稱她不喜歡我說話的方式和用詞，因此我寫下這首歌，並用上‘Motherf*cker’這個詞，就是要對此做出回應。”《Sunset Marquis》的鋼琴伴奏聽上去像是PJ Harvey在《White Chalk》中所做的那樣，事實上這張專輯中能讓你聯想到PJ Harvey的作品絕不止這一首，而《Sunset Marquis》就像是Love的自白，在這樣的歌聲中，Love內心的迷茫和痛苦還如何遮掩得住？
下面是Courtney在接受採訪時講的一番話，她說這張專輯就是自己的真實寫照，
Courtney, Linda and Billy從中我們不難看出她的創作動機：
"I think the title just says it all. I’m not pouting. I’m not playing anything up. I don’t have parents that I acknowledge. I’m nobody’s daughter. I’m nobody’s wife. I’m nobody’s bitch. I’m nobody’s daughter. I’m no-body’s widow. I’m somebody’s mother. Other than that, I don’t identify with these other female roles I’m supposed to have."

部分歌詞
Pacific Coast Highway
I knew a boy, he came from the sea
He was the only boy who ever knew the truth about me
I’m overwhelmed and undersexed
Oh baby what did you expect?
I’m over rod and so disgraced
And too ashamed to show my face
And they’re coming to take me away now
What I want I will never have
I’m on the Pacific Coast Highway
With your gun in my hands
I knew a boy, he left me so ravaged
Do you even know the expense of the damage?
My dirty lips, oh secret dies
In between the sheets and the promises that kept me from your eyes
I’m bloody and so darling bow
I don’t know what to do with my hands now
I surrender, I give in
I’ll kick down your door if you don’t let me in
And I’ve lost myself completely
I look to you my shooting star
I’m on the Pacific Coast Highway
My God how did you fall so far?
Your whole world is in my hands
Your whole wide world is in my hands
Your whole world is in my hands
Your whole wide world is in my hands
I’m out there dying for you, baby
And I got your blood on my hands
Your whole world is in my hands
Your whole wide world is in my hands
Your whole world is in my hands
Your whole wide world is in my hands
And you know I’m drowning
And you know I’m drowning
And you know I’m drowning
And you know I’m drowning
And you know I’m drowning
For Once In Your Life
You just don’t love me
And I just don’t care
Oh I never said I would play fair
Something so perfect
Something so rare
There is no cure
There’s not a prayer, a prayer
So what can I do?
I am the only perfect choice
You’ve met your match
I’ve lost my voice
And when you’re gone it gets so cold
I swear I’m too young to be this old, this old
So what can I do?
Oh I've been better
You know what’s pure and you know what’s right
But I’m forever
Just do the right thing for once in your life, in your life
I’ve got a right to be this wrong
It started when the lying did
Tummy aches and the best of me is gone
And all that I am is out and lay bare, and lay bare
So what can I do?
So what can I do?
Oh I’ve been better
You want what’s pure and you want what’s right
But I’m forever
Just do the right thing for once in your life, in your life
So what can I do?
It’s all I am
It’s all I am
It’s all I am
It’s all I am
Oh I’ve been cheated covered in diamonds and covered in filth
But I’m still breathing
But please stick around and I’ll build you a world, build you a world
Oh I’ve been strangled past beyond sex or cut down to size
My life just dangled
Oh there’s no context for once in my life, in my life
So what can I do?
So what can I do?
I know that I’m just a lost girl
But please stick around and I’ll build you a world
I’ll build you a world
I’ll build you a world
Letter To God
Oh dear god I’m writing this letter to you
Cause I don’t have a clue
Can you help me?
I’m sitting here
Simply trying to figure out
What my life’s all about
Can you tell me?
I never wanted to be
The person you see
Can you tell me who I am?
I always wanted to die
But you kept me here alive
Can you tell me who I am?
I lie awake conducting this symphony
That you have gifted to me
Can I ever sleep?
Don’t get mad
But I get weak inside
And I start to fall apart
Cause I feel nothing
I never wanted to be
Some kind of comic relief
Please show me who I am
I’ve been tortured and scorned
Since the day that I was born
But I don’t know who I am
And I thank you man for everything
Sorry I’m so frightened about all of this
But I wish I could give you more
And all the lights are shining down on me
And I feel violated by it all
I never wanted to be
The person you see but thank you
Oh god please tell me now
Are you disappointed or are you proud?
I’ve been also everything, everything!
I’m so sorry I’m so weak
And I turned into a freak
But I don’t know anything, anything!
I’ve lost all self-esteem
A million, everything
And I feel nothing, nothing!
Oh god please tell me now
Oh God please tell me now
Cause I feel nothing
Oh dear god I’m writing this letter to you
I’m coming unglued
Please help me
Dirty Girls(How Dirty Girls Get Clean)
Now I’ve lost my mind yeah
And I’ve lost control
And I’ve lost the feeling in my arms
And I’m a lost soul
Make the most of me baby
Don’t spit me out
This is how dirty girls get clean
Don’t leave me now
Listen to her lust yeah
Hear her disgrace
Listen to the fragile things
As they all break
Watch from the comfort
The comfort of your home
Through the eyes of sleep baby
Down, down we go
What angry star
Runs your devil heart
What angry star
Runs your devil heart
Oh hoo this is what I mean?
This is the only way
The dirty girls get clean
And I wanted you
Like no one before
Said you’re coming back for me honey
This is how hell forms
This is how a storm begins
This is how trouble’s born
Listen to her slit yeah
Listen to her wail
You’ve given birth to terrible things
Now watch them unveil
Listen to my torment
Listen to my pain
Please come on back here baby
Let me try again
What angry star
Runs your devil heart
What angry star
Runs your devil heart
Oh hoo don’t you get so mean?
This is the only way
The dirty girls get clean
And the rain it came down
And the wind it moaned
And she wrapped her legs around him
And she’s got no home
And he’s looking at me
God he looks so dumb
Why are you staring baby
This is how its done
This is how it numbs
This is how it stretches
Like all of your whiplashes
On all of your bitches
What angry star
Runs your devil heart
What angry star
Runs your devil heart
Oh hoo don’t you get so mean?
This is the only way
The dirty girls get clean
Oh hoo don’t you get so mean?
This is the only way
The dirty girls get clean
Oh hoo don’t you get so mean?
This is the only way
The dirty girls get clean
Never Go Hungry Again
It’s a long way back
From where I’ve fallen down
It’s a very hard fall
It’s a very cruel town
And my dress is torn
And I’ve got no jewels
And I’m hungry for a
Life a little less cruel
Some dignity
Not too much sorrow
Just a little bit of hope
Holding out for tomorrow
Oh I don’t care what it takes, my friends
I will never go hungry, go hungry again
Oh and I don’t care what I have to defend
I will never go hungry, go hungry again
It’s a long ride home
And my head is bowed
And you’re no comfort
To me now
And it’s fully loaded
And it’s set on stone
At least I know
That I have one
And my wigs on crooked
And I’ve got no shoes
I rock back and forth
And I wait for you yeah
And I don’t care what it takes, my friends
I will never go hungry, go hungry again
And I don’t care what I have to pretend
I will never go hungry, go hungry again
And out of it all
I have survived
From the fires of hell
I have survived
(?) crush his spirit
Survive the mess you made
Oh god can you hear us
You’re my salvation babe
And it’s time for me
To take a stand
And it’s time for me to be a man
And I don’t care what it takes, my friends
I will never go hungry, go hungry again
Oh and I don’t care what I have to pretend
I will never go hungry, go hungry again
And the phoenix she rises
She is sure to descend
She will never go hungry, go hungry again
And you’re looking to me
More and more like a god send
We will never go hungry, go hungry again
And we owe each other nothing
There’s no one left here
To defend
We will never go hungry, go hungry again
Nobody’s Daughter
Made something better
He kept it for himself
I'm not that stupid
I just need a lot of help
To understand how stupid you really are
Down at the bottom
Of the ocean, I lay down
Nobody's coming
Just continue to drown
And no one here could ever stop my ruin now, now
And I know I've got a lot to fear
You'll get me out
Oh, God, just get me out of here
Are you astounding us, surrounding us
And asphyxiate all your pain away
Don't try to win it will only end in disgrace
Nobody's daughter
She never was, she never will
Be beholden
To anyone she cannot kill
You don't understand how damaged we really are
You don't understand how evil we really are
And I will dig my own grave, yeah
I'm misbegotten
I am the last one you save here
Of course I'll sleep forever and for ever
Anesthetize all your horrors away
We live inside this black web you have spun
Greed and your bile is miles away
Don't tell me I have lost when clearly I've won
I want to see you stretched out on the floor
The world's broken doll, the world's shattered whore
And you, you can't walk
But you, you can crawl
Come on, infect us all
Asphyxiate all your pain away
Don't try to win it will only end in disgrace
Translucetize the cold light of day
It's glorious
It's terrible
God, I need it
It's beautiful
It's ravenous
I'll just feed it
Coil down to your dark black decay
And I will dig my own grave, yeah
I'm misbegotten
I am the last one you save here
It's all gone rotten
Happy Ending Story
Hey I burn better in the dark
Hey don’t let the light in
Hey is pure poison where you are
Hey is there me crying
Tell me your happy ending story
Tell me your happy ending story
Tell me your happy ending story
Hey for every ending tragedy
Hey I’ll twist your heart out
Hey for every evil dumb lazy
Hey I’ll tear the sun down
Tell me your happy ending story
Tell me your happy ending story
Tell me your happy ending story
Oh I swear you’re killing me, killing me
Oh I swear you’re breaking me again
Oh I swear you’re breaking me, you’re haunting me
Oh I swear you’re killing me again
Hey the quest sends coming bitter ends
Hey is there me crying

Car Crash
There’s a ghost on the highway
And I want to run it down
There’s a phantom in my bed
And I’m all alone now
I’ve seen every hotel
I’ve seen every hell
There’s nothing I haven’t done
There’s no one I haven’t had
Would you be there when the lights
When the lights get shot right out?
Would you be there when the roof
When the roof comes crumbling down?
And I know myself too well
And the devil speaks to me
And he’s got me pinned down now
Telling me I’m so empty
Oh, just say you’re sorry now
And you’ll never do it again
Take the edge right off and keep it
Cos you’ll never be high again
Would you be there when the lights
When the lights get shot right out?
Would you be there when the roof
When the roof comes crashing down?
Would you be there when the devil
When the devil comes for me?
Would you be there when the lights
Go black and empty?
And I live in a box
And I die in this hole
And you hold the keys
To this zip
And I don’t wanna go
But I can’t seem to come
And it’s not up to me
It’s up to you
And at all tomorrows parties
I will be there, not at one
And when you all start to miss me
Oh, just pass me the gun
And it’s Valentine’s again
And there’s nothing here for me
Would you be there when the lights
When the lights come crashing down?
Would you be there when the roof
When the roof comes crumbling down?
Would you be there when the devil
Takes me to the underground?
Would you be there when the night
Is night all year around?
Would you be there in the ice?
In the frost and cold and freeze?
Would you be there any time?
When I’m here, I’m on my knees?
Sunset Marquis
Follow me back to the Sunset Marquis
Lock ourselves into the room
Gamble it all and lose it on me
Until the sorry ends
Until it happens again
And I can tell that we are never gonna be friends
And I can tell that you’re lost
At the Sunset Marquis
Blame it all on me
Face down in front of the Sunset Marquis
You were the closest to God
We can do all the things that no one believes
People like us do they haven’t got a clue
And I can tell this is going down in flames
And know my god such a cost
At the Sunset Marquis
Tear it down for me
Lock ourselves in at the Sunset Marquis
Set the room on fire
Play happy neighbors from bad families
Oh baby you could move
You could light up a room
And the lights gone obscene
But you looked real to me
And I can tell this is a dark night of my soul
And I’m too old to be this lost
At the Sunset Marquis
Tear it down for me
At the Sunset Marquis
Blame it all on me yeah
Blame it all on me
