This CD captures two years of songwriting, just Gnome and guitar, live in front of an intimate audience in a run down hipster venue in Vancouver. It reflects her first two years as a person who actually succeeded in making dirty country music into a job. Things get dark and sad and confusing, but mostly just stupid and gross and hilarious. Comes with a lyrics booklet so you can sing along.

lyrics

they say it's impossible
they shit on your dreams
but don't listen to them because
it's not what it seems

they try to tear you down
say you're a hopeless fool
to give up and to smarten up
the world can be so cruel

don't listen to the haters
forget all that stuff
you can put anything up your vagina
if you try hard enough

so believe in yourself
you can do anything
trust in yourself
and you'll have everything

a cucumber, a dozen eggs
or a can of mountain dew
there's nothing that you can't shove
deep inside of you

the vagina is a hell of a drug
a powerful force of life
it can birth a 10 pound baby
it can make sweet love all night

my friend told me that it can fit
a whole bottle of wine
i asked her how she knew she said she
read it online

but i could see right through her
i knew that she had tried
i could tell by the way she walked away
waddling side to side

so believe in yourself
you can do anything
get your hands dirty and try
it's the only time
when having kids
will make something
easier to do
so come on moms lets see what those
humongous cunts can do

compared to all the objects
you can shove in your hoo hoo
there are so many things that are harder
to get inside of you

like the feeling of belonging
or a little self-esteem
hope for the future
hope for your dreams

in a world that always tells you
you're not good enough
well an orange, or the handle of a frying pan
that's the easy stuff
so believe in your
expansive muff

you don't need a purse
you don't need a bag
all you need is you
check your asshole there might be
some room in there too
believe in yourself

about

Shirley Gnome Vancouver, British Columbia

From the west coast of Canada comes this multi-award winning cabaret musician, whose all-original, uncensored music about human nature is hilarious, honest, subversive, smart, empowering, taboo and not for the faint of heart. Her cleverly carnal lyrics go down smooth with her inappropriately gorgeous vocals, and her charm will disarm you through even the most provocative topics. ... more
