"I want to ROCK, but I ain't got no band."
-WAG

Woody's A Girl (originally the artist name for solo artist Trisha Farnan) is a veritable unknown from Perth, Western Australia, who started playing in 2005. In the years that followed, WAG released albums mainly to friends and family. She received airplay on popular local radio station RTR.FM (92.1) and used to appear occasionally on the program Burning Down the House as a presenter. Her favourite bands/artists include The Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, Veruca Salt, Nirvana, Silversun Pickups and Catherine Wheel, but are in their entirety far too numerous to name. You can check out her Last.fm charts at the user profile earthcrossing.

In recent times, WAG has collaborated with American artist Billy Bedard, a.k.a. Rotting Apples, and their first Woody's A Girl album, Into the Red, was released in 2013. In May 2018, the first single from their sophomore album Oblivion was released, with the full length album due out on May 25th, 2018.

Billy and Trisha have also collaborated on an album of Billy's songs, titled The Falling Sound. Other artists also appeared with vocal contributions on the debut Rotting Apples album.

U.F.O.
Woody's a Girl Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Night sky blanketing
It's been a while but I can see
You're ready to come to me
Primed and primped for me

I'm like fresh snow
You're plowing in
I'm freezing you, inside out

We're joining

Nobody compares to you
Such a cliché but what can you do?
When I kiss someone new
I wish it was you

You're from outer space
I'll never know you
But I've seen enough
To know I want you

Problem is
Nobody compares to you
Such a cliché but what can you do?

When I kiss someone new
I wish it was you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Woody's a Girl's song "U.F.O." seem to be describing a desire for someone who is unattainable or out of reach, comparing them to a UFO - something mysterious and alluring. The first verse sets the scene at night, with the singer looking up at the sky and seeing the approaching UFO. The second verse describes the singer as "fresh snow," while the UFO is depicted as a plow coming to break through that snow. The "freezing you, inside out" line suggests a sexual encounter, with the two entities "joining" together.

The chorus further emphasizes the singer's longing for the UFO, with the repeated line "nobody compares to you," which is a common cliché used in love songs. The singer acknowledges the impossibility of ever truly knowing or having the UFO but still wishes for it nonetheless. The final line of each chorus, "when I kiss someone new I wish it was you," encapsulates the bittersweet nature of unrequited love - the singer is moving on and trying to find comfort, but ultimately still yearns for what they can't have.

Overall, the song seems to be exploring themes of desire and unattainability, using the metaphor of a UFO to represent the elusive object of the singer's affection. It's a melancholy yet catchy track that showcases Woody's a Girl's unique blend of indie rock and pop sensibilities.

Night sky blanketing
The dark sky is covering everything around

It's been a while but I can see
I haven't seen you in a while, but I can see you now

You're ready to come to me
You're willing to come towards me

Primed and primped for me
You're all dressed up and looking your best for me

I'm like fresh snow
I am pure and untouched

You're plowing in
You're coming towards me with force

I'm freezing you, inside out
I am making you shiver with excitement

We're coming together in a physical and emotional way

Nobody compares to you
No one else can match you

Such a cliché but what can you do?

When I kiss someone else
