"January's Girl" is an unreleased song written by Matt Sharp.
Overview
Matt Sharp performed the song while touring his solo material for his planned solo project (that would eventually manifest as his eponymous solo album and 2003 EP). The song has not appeared on an album. Sharp commented on the song in a 2002 interview, saying that the song is "in a strange tuning; Greg [Brown] came up with that."
Lyrics
It's Tuesday
It's getting late
The lights on ??? Street fade like
Just like embers
And she, yeah, she twirls
Annoys the world
January's girl never seemed farther
Yeah, January's girl
Is on the other side of the world from me
She tells me that she's going to be
A mother of three, a provider
What a liar; it's just temporary
The cracks of her voice break like
Just like plaster
January's girl is on the other side of the world from me
Oh, January's girl,
She's where I would rather be
Yeah, oh, she twirls
And she annoys the world
January's girl never seemed farther
Yeah, January's girl,
She's on the other side of the world from me
January's girl is where I'd rather be
It's Tuesday
It's getting late
The lights on ??? St. fade like embers
And she twirls
She annoys the world
But January's girl never seemed finer
