There's the girl that left me bitter
Want to pay some other girl to just walk up to her and hit her.
But I can't, I can't, I can't...
A bit of trivia...
From "The Past is a Grotesque Animal"...The mousy girl screams violence, violence! The mousy girl screams violence, violence! --reference to one of my favorite movies, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"

"Barnes has described the album as a concept album, detailing his transformation from Kevin Barnes into Georgie Fruit. The transformation takes place during "The Past Is a Grotesque Animal," the 12-minute long "turning point" of the album. In addition, the album namechecks many things commonly associated with glam rock, such as drugs, art and fashion; "The Past Is a Grotesque Animal" alludes to Edward Albee's play Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and specifically mentions Georges Bataille's novel Histoire de l'oeil.
Barnes credits his being prescribed antidepressants with the making of the album. "The real issue was a chemical thing, so when I finally got on medication, that balanced it out. So that helped me have a better perspective on things and helped my relationship with my wife and helped me through [the album]."[1] "Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse", the album's first single, chronicles his struggle with chemical imbalance and mood disorders."
I've also read that all this is a result of a fairly bitter divorce which might explain a bit of the misogyny.

Also, 'Histoire de l'oeil' sounds interesting.
