Music Break - Elle King

If, like me, you have a hole in your life where the Dixie Chicks used to be, mourn no longer. Elle King is here to save the day. Her album Love Stuff is chock full of alt-country feminist hotness.

Not too long ago John Scalzi posted this video on his blog and it's pretty much been on repeat here since. Such a great song flipping the usual story about the guy who "loves 'em and leaves 'em." Her voice is so sexy and scratchy, and the lyrics are exceptionally liberated. And, you know, a little eye-candy in the video doesn't hurt.



Ex's & Oh's

Well, I had me a boy, turned him into a man
I showed him all the things that he didn't understand
Whoa, and then I let him go
Now, there's one in California who's been cursing my name
Cause I found me a better lover in the UK
Hey, hey, until I made my getaway

One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
Cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave

Ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me
Like ghosts they want me to make 'em all
They won't let go
Ex's and oh's

I had a summer lover down in New Orleans
Kept him warm in the winter, left him frozen in the spring
My, my, how the seasons go by
I get high, and I love to get low
So the hearts keep breaking, and the heads just roll
You know that's how the story goes

One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
Cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave

Ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me
Like ghosts they want me to make 'em all
They won't let go
My ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me
Like ghosts they want me to make 'em all
They won't let go
Ex's and oh's
