i
i think i know how i feel
cause i
i only play it for-real
you should be picking me up
instead you're dragging me down
flying over my head
you're landing all over town

you
you know that i try
try to tell you the truth
oh baby don't make me cry
you should be picking me up
instead you're dragging me down
now i'm missing you more
cause baby you're not around
now that you're not around

i
i want to know how it feels
cause i
i only play act for-real
you should be picking me up
instead your dragging me down
i could be giving you love
but you're not around
now that you're not around
now that you're not around
glad that you're not around.

    General Comment:This song is so beautiful... I think the comments on him singing it are especially interesting. Personally, I prefer the female singer version, because it's like she's kind of teasing him and he's playing back with the guitar lines. Both are great, though. Cool that it makes sense from a male and female perspective.

    General Comment:'anemone' is Greek for "daughter of the wild" , so this could be an explanation for this song.

    General Comment:Implying he's her enemy is a cover up, she is still longing for him to come back.

    General Comment:I am not quite sure who the singer is, but it's not Miranda Lee Richards. I think it's the girl who Anton threw out of the room when he was on H in Dig!. The one that left the band married some guy in Tahiti. Would love to hear the Anton version. Yes, a very sexy song...it kinda has a Mazzy Star like atmosphere.

    General Comment:if you guys only know the version with the female singer (like on the teppid peppermint... and also on their satanic majesties...)then look for another one with anton on vocals himself...its pretty much the same but the voice sounds better i think and the guitars a slightly different.....dont even know where i got that one,but it was the first bjm song i heard and i was like who the fucks that.from that day on i listened to almost nothing else for about a year...fuckin great song....

    General Comment:I think that it's called "Anemone" because an anemone is poisonous to all but the creatures that can inhabit it, and that, added to the song, makes a lot of sense.

    I can't say I've never been there before...
