Lyrically, Alice Donut often explores depravity, domestic violence, sexuality and food, reflected in songs like 'My Life is a Mediocre Piece of Shit' and 'The Son Of A Disgruntled X-Postal Worker Reflects On His Life While Getting Stoned In The Parking Lot Of A Winn Dixie Listening To Metallica'.
2004's Three Sisters, their first record after their hiatus, was recorded as a four-piece with Tom Antona on vocals, Michael Jung on guitar, Stephen Moses on drums and Sissi Schulmeister on bass. Original guitarist Dave Giffen rejoined the group for Fuzz, which was recorded in Brooklyn's BC Studio with longtime co-producer Martin Bisi and released in 2006. Both Three Sisters and Fuzz were released by Howler Records.
The band's style and lyrics are eclectic. Their music is a mixture of hard rock, punk, and post-punk and typically features melodic, guitar-heavy, odd-metered, and rhythm based pieces and is often punctuated with brass instrumentation.
Alice Donut returned to Alternative Tentacles in 2009 for the release of the newest full length album, 10 Glorious Animals (although the digital release will handled by Howler).
Alice Donut will keep making records until they die.

She Loves You She Wants You It's Amazing How Much Head Wounds Bleed
Alice Donut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She loves you
She wants you
The lyrics of Alice Donut's song "She Loves You She Wants You It's Amazing How Much Head Wounds Bleed" have a straightforward meaning - the subject of the song is someone who is coveted by someone else. The repeated chorus of "She loves you, she wants you" underscores the intensity of the other person's desire.
The title of the song is an interesting detail, referencing the surprising amount of blood that can come from head wounds. This metaphor could point to the idea that the person being desired is a bit dangerous or risky, perhaps implying that getting involved with them could be hazardous.
The verses of the song don't offer much more insight into the situation, with lyrics like "Her eyes are like marbles / Set in pastry-dough skin / And her lips are like cherries / Too tempting to give in." These descriptions could be seen as objectifying the person being sung about, turning them into a mere physical object of desire.
The pounding, grunge-inspired musical style of "She Loves You She Wants You" emphasizes the gritty feeling of the lyrics. The guitars and drums drive forward relentlessly, adding to the sense of urgency in the song.
Overall, "She Loves You She Wants You" is a song that channels the raw energy of desire into a relentless musical assault. While the lyrics may not offer much in the way of depth, the song is still a compelling example of early 90s grunge.

It's great that people still remember this band. I still consider this a very underappreciated album.

They had a more in depth story on the cd sleeve about this song and the whole album. It was a joy to read and listen old school style (90's)... The product was so good for my late teen and early 20's years and I miss it now. Hope you're all doing good Alice Donut members and fans. It'll never be this cool again.
