Wild, wild
I go wild, 'cause you break me open
Wild 'cause you left me here
I go wild 'cause your promises are broken
Wild because the chips are down
Wild because there isn't anybody else around
Wild when the waves start to break
And God knows they're breaking in me now
I go wild because it doesn't make sense
For me to cry out in my own defense
And wild because I would do anything
To tear you off your precious fence
So this is what it's like living in limbo
First I'm high, then I'm so low
I go wild 'cause you break me open
Wild 'cause you left me here
I go wild 'cause your promises are broken
Wild when I know you're near
I go wild
I go wild...
Tell me what you've come here for
Moving like a hunter through my back door
Leaving the perfume of all you adore
To die nameless on my floor
Yeah, well we both know that you don't play fair
I guess you really think that you'd get me there
Let's be honest, perhaps it's alright
It's too much for even you to bear
You've got some nerve to come back here
You're not the only one who can smell fear
I go wild 'cause you break me open
Wild 'cause you left me here
I go wild 'cause your promises are broken
Wild, don't you get it dear
You're not the only one who runs on instincts
No, I got instincts of my own
You've got a lot of nerve to come back
Plan your attack and I am still waiting
Did you want something?
You wrote the rules to try and contain me
You broke them now, you'll haven't tamed me
And I'm wild
I go wild
Tell me what you've come here for
What is it you adore, won't you tell me?
What would you cry for?
Swallow your pride for?
What would you, oh, go wild for?
You've got a lot of nerve to come back here
Speak up now, darling, I have been waiting
I go wild 'cause you break me open
Wild 'cause you left me here
I go wild 'cause your promises are broken
Wild, don't you get it dear?

Communication is not just words.
Communication is architecture.
Because of course it is quite obvious
That a house which would be built without the sense,
Without that desire for communication
Would not look the way your house looks today.

WOW. This was so utterly amazing when it came out, and it can still astound me mightily. Her voice and delivery are simply fantastic, and her lyrics and music are more than impressive enough to match.

That metallic ball rolling sound in the beginning is Palovian to my synaptic awareness of the excellence of this song.

Superior to the album version that has some 3-4 minute noise at the end. Totally unneeded, this song is stellar as it is.
I'm in LOVE with this song and her voice. ^_^

Not bad; reminds me a lot of Garbage's stuff. I've never noticed that Poe's voice isn't all that different from Shirley Manson's, just a little lower.

I rate this song and the whole album a 10. You have to know why she made this album along with the book her brother wrote to appreciate it. It deals with her fathers death and some tape recordings she found of him. In her other songs you hear a mans voice and that is her father, She used those tapes to make the album "HAUNTED"

Seriously, it sounds like a long lost track from one of Garbage's first 2 albums. I was expecting to see Butch Vig listed as a producer, but nope, just some dudes that were probably listening to what he was doing throughout the 90s.

my reaction to my first look at the album cover was hey why is there a woman on a Bowie album cover?

I just listened to the entire CD the other day and it still holds up quite well.

The softness and sophistication of the voice and production do not match with the title. A 3 for me.
Thought it was Madonna when I first heard it, but quickly realised its far better than most of the tosh she puts out.
I can always recognize that this song is coming from that guttural something or other sound that precedes the music. This CD was well worth the $2 I paid at Amoeba in Berkeley. Not an easy listening album.
There now - I've put your head on for the last time.

I had no idea of who she was prior to listening to RP. Now she is one of my favorites, including her Conjure One stuff.
Purchased. Like the energy! Nice when I'm drawing or painting.

This statement is puzzling. The CD has so much information on the musicians that I find it almost incomprehensible. Small print takes up both panels inside the case, including behind the CD (the insert states 'CONTINUED', which seems a bit unusual for a CD. Your best bet is to find a used copy (I have seen multiple copies for $2 in Berkeley at Amoeba, although this is not fair to most people on the planet who do not have a music store like this nearby). There are some downsides to relying on the internet for all information. This CD really occupies a unique place in recent recordings, as far as I can tell.

Well, if you had heard the long version, you would vote for the short version. It just breaks down into someone sampling the song then playing it back in stutters. It ruins the flow of the song and gets obnoxious. And it goes on and on and on.
I really like the song and the album as a whole, but the "extended remix" part of that song has got to go.

A good artist for other's ears and tastes, not mine. 
Not very good - it gets duller and duller in fact. Sorry, but there it is.
Oh Poe, where did you go? (moan)

The percussion break in this one is quite nice and appropriate to the title.
I really like her voice. It reminds me of Amanda Abizaid, who sang the award-winning theme to "The 4400".

You haven't gone and compiled an inventory of "mundane and forgettable" groups, have you? I can think of a great many artists who would qualify, which feature male lead vocals, and I have probably forgotten many more (which is often the innate problem with forgettable things). I don't think those dubious qualities are dictated by the gender of the singer. The amount of airplay of certain artists may be determined by gender in some markets - though not likely here. I don't find Poe to be mundane or forgettable, but it's all subjective anyhow.

Unfortunately the majority of the "mundane and forgettable" tend to be the groups with a female lead... not to hate but they just don't seem to be very interesting. There are plenty of very good bands with women on vocals but all to often the ones played here feel forced... like there is some unknown quota to balance out the male voices.... Again, nothing wrong with great music no matter who is singing, it just seems like some are played just for variety sake (not because they are very good)

I have no idea. I find her endlessly fascinating, and this album is in my top 25 albums of all time.

I hope this bodes well for new music from her soon.

This is Creepier than a Poe tale
This is odd he plays this today... last night I had a dream where Justin Kirk (from Weeds) was Poe's brother but he had no idea his sister had made this album connected to their father, even though he collaborated on with her (I guess some of his forgetfull stoner character was coming through)... Mostly I think I was just dreaming about talking to Justin Kirk while this album was playing, and somehow my mind decided he was the brother...

First listen for me. Powerful. Sorry if I sound like an idiot. Seems like she's been around for a while. Don't have time to research it.
Sounds like Garbage. Not garbage, Garbage.
This is beside the point but doesn't she look like that woman from Dirty Dancing, was it, on the cover.?Barnes?

This may be the best RP-inspired purchase I've made. Tremendous production and Poe's pipes are just amazing. And not just a one-trick pony—lots of great changes of tempo and style. Good follow through on the "Haunted" concept, too. Great album.
is Bob gone?...

Pure magic from Poe. This whole CD is fantastic, and I really wish she'd release another one, like, this week.
I recently read something where she's in a dispute with a record label over the use of her name POE (since they own the rigtht to the last album or some such and it was not released). So she was recording under something else right now. I may not have all the details right on this. But it was up on her web site if you want to check on the specifics. Anyway, she's amazing. Hope to see more from her.
Thank you thank you for playing the unappreciated Poe. You guys consistently blow my mind RP!

This song wouldn't be out of place on Fleetwood Mac's "Tango In The Night," in my humble opinion.

Silly song! I didn't mind it for the first 50 listens, but it just annoying now. 5 > 2.

Please play the entire track!! I love the second half.
C'mon Bill, when are you going to play this whole track? It's just not right to hack this song in half.

I do not claim to write anything CLOSE to the quality of the artists on this station, but I have written a few songs. There is nothing worse, after slaving over lyrics and melody, right down to a certain word or chord, then slaving in a studio to get your song and voice and beats and riffs just right, then being told, "Hey, you sound like Madonna!"
