Hot on the heels of the Electroclash™ Festival and the musical phenomena of the same name, this 3 piece girl-group (Melissa Burns, Christine Doza & Mandy Coon), has appeared on the cover of Billboard, The Fader, BPM, The New York Post Entertainment section, and the cover of Ultra Record’s 80s vs. Electro compilation. After their debut in October of 2001, they took part of the Electroclash™ Tour 2002 and also did live p.a. in many EU cities. W.I.T. has been featured on the covers of Billboard, The Fader, BPM, Loop and featured in Spin, The Face, I-d, Sleazenation, Paper and many other magazines. All of this press was attained without a major label record deal or the release of an album but probably a wise press manager and help of media pluggers.

Just What I Needed
W.I.T. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

i don't mind you coming here
and wasting all my time
'cause when you're standing oh so near
i kinda lose my mind
it's not the perfume that you wear
it's not the ribbons in your hair
i don't mind you coming here
and wasting all my time

i don't mind you hanging out
and talking in your sleep
it doesn't matter where you've been
as long as it was deep
you always knew to wear it well
you look so fancy i can tell
i don't mind you hanging out
and talking in your sleep
i guess you're just what i needed
i needed someone to feed

i guess guess you're just what i needed
i needed someone to bleed
