about
I've wanted to do a cover of 'Rich Girl' for years - there's something about the song that I just can't get enough of. My bass player wrote the darker, bass line and suggested the sparse arrangement. As the band experimented, the lyrics took on a darker dystopian meaning and seemed to re-write themselves for this version. Hall & Oates meet Joan Didion in a big box parking lot.
lyrics
You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far
You know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch, girl, but it's gone too far
You know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far
Get you too far
Don't you know? Don't you know?
That it's wrong to take what is given you
So far gone, on your own
You can get along if you try to be strong
But you'll never be strong 'cause
You're a rich girl
And you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway (Rich girl)
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch, girl, and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway (Rich girl)
Say money but it won't get you too far
Get you too far
High and dry, out of the rain
It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
And don't you know that a love can't grow
'Cause there's too much to give, 'cause you'd rather live
For the thrill of it all
You know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch, girl, but it's gone too far
You know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far
Get you too far
Don't you know? Don't you know?
That it's wrong to take what is given you
So far gone, on your own
You can get along if you try to be strong
But you'll never be strong 'cause
You're a rich girl
And you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway (Rich girl)
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch, girl, and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway (Rich girl)
Say money but it won't get you too far
Get you too far
High and dry, out of the rain
It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
And don't you know that a love can't grow
'Cause there's too much to give, 'cause you'd rather live
For the thrill of it all
