Protect me from ravagement
I’m ten years old
I don’t know what I do
Protect me myself
I’m fourteen
There’s nothing to do
Protect me yourself
I’m sixteen
Protect me from starving
I’m eighteen
Protect me you
I don’t know what you do
Protect me demons
That come at night
I don’t know what they say
They’re whispering over
Sends the night air away
And makes me forget
I hope they come
Again and again
Huh they come
Again and again
I hope they come again
Again, again
Retrospective Review: Sonic Youth – ‘Confusion is Sex’

Overview:
Review:
The first official studio album from Sonic Youth was put out on nu-wave, post-punk outlet Neutral Records in 1983. Arguably one of their best albums (certainly so, if you compare with every subsequent album between 1985-1988), ‘Confusion is Sex’ is littered with grunge, prepared-guitar riffs that sometimes thrill (cover of The Stooges ‘I Wanna Be Your Dog’) and sometimes haunt (‘Protect Me You’). The album was initially released following Sonic Youth’s first tour with label-mates the Swans.
‘Protect Me You’ Lyrics:
Protect me from ravagement
I’m ten years old
I don’t know what I do
Protect me myself
I’m fourteen
There’s nothing to do
Protect me yourself
I’m sixteen
Protect me from starving
I’m eighteen
Protect me you
I don’t know what you do
Protect me demons
That come at night
I don’t know what they say
They’re whispering over
Sends the night air away
And makes me forget
I hope they come
Again and again
Huh they come
Again and again
I hope they come again
Again, again
