netistä: Pretty good singer songwriter stuff with a full backing backing band of studio pros. Lyrics are very dark and good. Just not my thing musically, but it's a good one for fans of the genre. Nice gatefold cover as well if you care for that type of thing.

Sarah became a more successful screenwriter than songwriter, and I like to think that her later renown as writer of the Harrison Ford / Michelle Pfeiffer film 'What Lies Beneath' saw her finally find the right vehicle for the tone set forth, especially stemming from the cover art, of this record. Which is to say -- twisty marital strife problem resolution horror fiction.

I have been trying to leave you ever since
You caught me spying through the crack in your defense
I saw the victims of your terrible experiments
These half-mad half-dead half-beast half-men
Walking wounded and I know I'm next

Please don't take me to the House of Pain
I don't think that I could go through that again
I may be dumb, but I'm not very brave
But I've been there before and I don't want to go back again
Oh no no no no no no no no
Don't send me to the House of Pain ...
