Boy in a Rock and Roll Band: an Anti-Love Song
The Pierces take their sweet and innocent voices and sing unexpectedly dark or experienced songs. Boy in a Rock and Roll Band is no exception. What could have been a twee tribute to Justin Bieber turns, in their capable hands, into a sharp dismissal of the budding relationship. It's like some 60s girl group, all grown up.
Have a look at the lyrics, a listen to the song, and rate it to let me know what you think. If you like this one, there are two full album from The Pierces filled with unusual songs in which their cherubic voices tell you things you didn't see coming.

The Lyrics for Boy in a Rock and Roll Band
The Pierces Explain Why This Love Cannot Be
La da da da-da-da-da da da dum
La da da da-da da dum
La da da da-da-da-da da da dum
La da da da-da da dum
How deep is your ocean?
How high is your sky?
I'd love to put our love into motion
But I'd have to ask myself why.
Well, I can't tell you how to live your life
But I know how to live mine.
I take home pretty things that I like
And, baby, you are so fine.
Yeah, I could give you everything you need
With just one touch of my hand,
But I swore I would never fall in love
With a boy in a rock & roll band.
Why do I adore you?
We've only just met.
I feel I would do anything for you
But baby, sometimes I forget
That I can't tell you how to live your life
But I know how to live mine.
I take home pretty things that I like
And baby, you are so fine.
Yeah, I could give you everything you need
With just one touch of my hand,
But I swore I would never fall in love
With a boy in a rock & roll band.
Well, I forget I'm a lady;
I've had too much wine.
I'd love it if you would call me your baby
Cause, baby, you are so fine.
But I can't tell ya how to live your life
But I know how to live mine.
I take home pretty things that I like
And, baby, you are so fine.
Yeah, I could give you everything you need
With just one touch of my hand,
But I swore I would never fall in love
With a boy in a rock & roll band.

Boy in a Rock and Roll Band Music Video
The Pierces Haven't Made One, Yet.
This version is the Pierce sisters singing over music by The Transcenders, as the song was played for Gossip Girl on television. Personally, I don't think it's a good as the album version, but it's the only video available at the moment.
In the meantime, you can go over here and listen to the song and enjoy a attitude-filled photo of The Pierces, as well. Don't they look sweet?

The Pierces Album "Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge"
Featuring Boy in a Rock and Roll Band
Thirteen Tales of Love & Revenge (Dig)
Amazon Price: $26.99 (as of 05/30/2012)
This album is out of print so the physical CD costs quite a bit more than you'd expect. If you're like me, you want to see the album art (and the art on this one is quite interesting, all pink and black and white) and to actually have it to hold. If not, you can buy the mp3s from Amazon or iTunes below.
