Originally released in 1994 as SOW's debut full-length, Je M'Aime was initially released on the German Hyperium label. The album showcased Anna's unique spoken word abilities, alongside music from Watts, J.G. Thrilwell (Foetus, Manorexia, Wiseblood) and Jon Caffery (Kids On TV, Einstürzende Neubauten, 2-Kut). SOW's whispers, screams, monologues and singing, which alternated between French and English languages, clashed over sounds from some of the most esteemed and respected experimental musicians of the era. The album would be given a US re-release in 1999, dubbed 'PIG & SOW' for Invisible Records.
The Rock
Pig and Sow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A bad bad rock this here Revolution Rock
Careful how you move Mac you dig me in the back
I'm so pilled up that I rattle
I have got the sharpest knife so I cut the biggest slice
But I got no time to do battle
Hey! Everybody smash up your seats
This here music mash up the nation
This here music cause a sensation
Tell your Ma tell your Pa
Everything's gonna be alright
Can you feel it? Don't ignored it
Gonna be alright
Revolution Rock I'm in a state of shock
So bad bad rock this here Revolution Rock
Careful how you slide Clyde all you did was glide
You poured your beer in me hat
With my good eye on the beat
Living on fixation street
I ain't got no time for that
