tuff one aint it, I mean this is a majour element of human existence, and is disturbingly prevalent amoung those of a teenybopper age, and yet so few songs. Keep em coming

King Missile - "The Miracle of Childbirth"

Has to be heard to be believed. In a perfect world, John S. Hall would be seen as some kind of lyrical genius. Beats me why he isn't.

Built to Spill - "Cleo"

Wiggly days wiggly nights
When it's dark bring in lights so you can see
What a sound straight through my spine
Bounced off me
Makes me round
3-D sound
Push it down move it around, see I'm fine
Ain't it strange that I can dream
(You can say it's night or day
Snow or rain it's all the same)
When there's nothing I have ever seen
(In here, In here)
Ain't it strange that I can dream
(You can say it's night or day
Snow or rain it's all the same)
Ain't it strange that I have brain activity
(In here, In here)

Who brought those cameras in
Who gave who the right
Inside a sea turned from frog to freak
(Linnart Nilson shut off those lights)
To tiny, red, and meek
Strange that I'm a human being
Ain't it strange that I can dream
(You can say it's night or day
Snow or rain it's all the same)
Aint' it strange that I'm a human being
(In here, In here)
Ain't it strange that I can dream
(You can say it's night or day
Snow or rain it's all the same)
Living in the womb
Running out of room
Have to come out soon
Have to meet the sun and moon and

I see the picture of a beautiful and pregnant Carly Simon on the cover of her Hotcakes album. Surely there's something on there about babies but I can't remember and don't have time to look it up right now.

The last lines of the final verse of The Bolshoi's "A Way" certainly counts...

"Oh yeah, she had a baby, it was painful and it was worth it,
And all the time they stuck the knife in, pull it up and twist it around..."
