With their love songs, '/2 Japanese's primitive approach is very stark, yet ultimately very touching. From "Hurts So Bad": "She said:

I'm so sorry, and I hurt so bad. She said: I should bang my stupid head against the wall. But that's too good for me. Then she said:

I'm sorry. But she said it's too late. She said: I lied, and I'm so sorry, and I hurt so bad. Then she said: I'm so sorry. And I said: Oh real y? It happened on a Monday. On a Monday.
