About Samantha

"Samantha" is a song by the American alternative rock band Hole. It is the fifth track on the band's fourth studio album, Nobody's Daughter, released on Mercury Records on April 23, 2010. Written by vocalist Courtney Love, The Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan and music producer Linda Perry, "Samantha" was originally planned as the album's lead single. "Skinny Little Bitch" was later released as the album's lead single on March 12, 2010 and "Samantha" did not receive a single release reputedly due to the controversy over its composition. Despite not receiving a single release, a music video for "Samantha" was released in September 2011. Directed by Pablo Ganguli and Alphan Eseli, it was Hole's first music video since "Be a Man" in 2000 and is set in a post-apocalyptic world with Love wearing a wedding dress with the word "cunt" embroidered on it, burning dollar bills. A high-definition version of the video leaked on social media web site Vimeo prior to its official release. more »

Samantha, you swore
You never turned that trick before
Keep waiting for a war
You'll never win
You'll lose again

Watch her wrap her legs around this world
Can't take that gutter from the girl

Samantha
You burned me out
Samantha
It's over now
Samantha

Your war
Was a lost cause before I came
Keep praying
Pray for
The pretty things you won't get back

Watch her wrap her legs around this world
Stab the gutter right out of that girl
That girl

Through villages of ether
My crucifixion comes
Will you sing my hallelujah?
Will you tell me when it's done?

Look in my eyes
There's nothing there
Goodbye
I wanted you out of my whole life
Goodnight
And don't try to move

People like you f*ck people like me
In order to avoid agony
People like you f*ck people like me
In order to avoid suffering

People like you f*ck people like me
F*ck people like you
F*ck people like me
F*ck people like you
F*ck people like me
F*ck people like you
F*ck people like me

(F*ck people like you)
Leave your money by the bed
(F*ck people like me)
(F*ck people like you)
In the gutter where you live
(F*ck people like me)
And I throw it all away
And I throw it in your face
And if you were on fire
I would just throw kerosene
Cause I love so much I hate
And I hate what you have seen in me

Samantha

So you think that you could save him
And we know that someone died
Oh, an unkindness of ravens
And we know that Mary lied
And through villages of ether
Oh, my crucifixion comes
Will you sing my hallelujah?
Will you tell me when it's done?

People like you f*ck people like me
In order to avoid agony
People like you f*ck people like me
In order to avoid suffering

People like you f*ck people like me
F*ck people like you
F*ck people like me
F*ck people like you
F*ck people like me
F*ck people like you
F*ck people like me
F*ck people like you
