I'm onto you
before the night is through
I'm going to steal this diamong
hot rock to you
how am I to know what you want me to feel?
counterfeit or real?
I'm not the one you wanted
not the thing you keep
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)
It's a crafty scene, full of power and greed
You tell me not to steal, yet you still want a thief
You write out the plans, I carry out the act
But then I lose it all if I can't bring it back
(How was I to know this rock was so fragile
It cracked in my hands while I was holding on
An uncut stone is flawed and beautiful
Don't try to size me down to fit your tiny hands)
It's not real
You don't need to tell me
that it's not real
I'm onto you
before the night is through
I'm going to steal my heart back
and find a love that's true
hot rock to you
The lyrics HOT ROCK of SLEATER-KINNEY is also present in the album The hot rock (1999)
Sleater-Kinney è un gruppo musicale statunitense di genere alternative rock, formatosi a Olympia, Washington, nel 1994. Le componenti fondatrici sono Corin Tucker (voce, chitarra), Carrie Brownstein (chitarra, voce) e Janet Weiss (batteria). Il nome del gruppo deriva da una strada che attraversa il quartiere di Lacey nella città di Olympia. Le Sleater-Kinney hanno raggiunto un'ampia popolarità negli anni '90 e 2000 grazie al loro sound energico e alle liriche femministe, diventando un punto di riferimento per la scena indie rock americana. Tra i loro album più importanti figurano *Dig Me Out* (1997), *The Hot Rock* (2000) e *All Hands on the Bad One* (2015). Il gruppo ha collaborato con artisti come The Breeders e Bikini Kill, contribuendo a definire l'estetica e la filosofia del movimento riot grrrl. Dopo una pausa nel 2006, le Sleater-Kinney sono tornate insieme nel 2014, pubblicando nuovi album e continuando a esibirsi in tutto il mondo.
