Jill Sobule

Jill Sobule (born January 16, 1965 in Denver, Colorado) is an American singer-songwriter best known for the 1995 single "I Kissed a Girl", and "Supermodel" from the soundtrack of the 1995 film Clueless. Her folk-inflected compositions alternate between ironic, story-driven character studies and emotive ballads, a duality reminiscent of such 1970s American songwriters as Warren Zevon, Harry Nilsson, Loudon Wainwright III, Harry Chapin, and Randy Newman. Autobiographical elements, including Sobule's Jewish heritage and her adolescent battles with anorexia and depression, frequently occur in Sobule's writing.

I got a spike like an echidna
I got poison in my toes
Me feet are nice and webbed
That's what everybody knows...
They like to call me ""duck bill,""
As if I was a bird
But me existential drama
Is really more absurd

I'm a warm blooded, egg laying
Cloacal monotreme,
They got me in a tank
To see if I can dream...

Got me plugged into the bleeper
And me brains bleepin' the bleep
Got me hooked up to a monitor
So they can watch me sleep
Got electrodes sending signals
From underneath my skin
Knocked me out with Ketamine
And when they plug me in

I'm a warm blooded, egg laying
Cloacal monotreme
They got me in a tank
To see if I can dream

How'd that happen?
Funny you should ask
How'd that happen?
Funny you should ask

Well, I woke up in the evening,
I was swimmin' in me stream,
Yabbies mighty tasty
If you know what I mean,
See, I chase 'em down with lager
Or a bit of amber ale,
I break their little necks
And regurgitate their tails

I'm a warm blooded, egg laying
Cloacal monotreme
They got me in a tank
To see if I can dream

Then the water gets all cloudy
And silt begins to churn,
Motor like a cyclone,
And my ears begin to burn.
I'm hidin' in the eel grass
When a hook comes from the sky
Lift me up into a boat
No, I don't wanna die!
So they made me part of science
Now I'm living in a glass
Staring at captivity
And how the time will pass.
Well I'm looking for an answer
Inside their prying eyes
Wondering if a platypus
Can take 'em by surprise
Take them by surprise

I'm a warm blooded, egg laying
Cloacal monotreme
They got me in a tank
To see if I can dream

I'm a warm blooded, egg laying
Cloacal monotreme
They got me in a tank
To see if I can dream

To see if I can dream
I wish that I could dream
I hope that I can dream
I'd really love to dream
