The power of orange knickers
The power of orange knickers
The power of orange knickers
under my petty coat
the power of listening to what
you don�t want me to know

Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
those girls that smile kindly then rip your life to pieces?
Can somebody tell me now am I alone with this �
this little pill in my hand and with this secret kiss
am I alone in this�

A matter of complication
when you become a twist
for their latest drink
as they�re transitioning

Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
this little pill in my hand that keeps the pain laughin�?
Can somebody tell me now a way out of this �
that sacred pipe of red stone could blow me out of this kiss
am I alone in this�

Shame shame time to leave me now
Shame shame you�ve had your fun
Shame shame for letting me think that I would be the one
Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
this little pill in my hand or this secret kiss
am I alone in this kiss
am I alone in this kiss



"There is a song called The Power of Orange Knickers that really kind of explores the idea of the word 'terrorist'. So I put on a pair of orange knickers one morning and I decided if I am going to stalk the idea of a terrorist without having an idea of what one was then I am going to need my orange knickers. And as I started to walk over to the piano I started to think about words that rhymed with 'terrorist' and the song kept drawing me in, and drawing me in deeper and deeper and deeper and it said yes it is easy to see the enemy if it is in another country. It's easy to see the enemy in another culture. Find the enemy in your own culture. Then find the enemy in your own being. And she's there. We all have this part of ourselves that will choose to obliterate an idea instead of negotiating with it, because it takes great skill to negotiate with ideas, it doesn't take a lot of skill to obliterate, unfortunately. It doesn't sound like this one the record, but just alone here with us the essence is (plays orange knickers). ..and it goes on and I began to understand how the opposites, if they don't have understanding and a respect for one another, and hold it into balance, then the whole thing begins to bring chaos."
