about

Finding love in an age of materialism. Of course, when this song was written these prizes of consumer culture mentioned in the song were common place and (mostly) celebrated.... now many of are obsolete, while the spirit of the song is, I believe, eternal.

lyrics

Love Me With Nothing
as performed by Leopard Zeppard

you're my CD player, my color TV
you're the rotating shelves of my tape library
you're my favorite movie in the VCR
you're the airbag that hides behind the wheel of my car

you're the coffee grinder first thing in the morning
the weather channel promising the weather is warming
you're the blender that blends at the touch of a button
the waste disposal that grinds my left overs to nothing

so, love me with nothing, love me with nothing
and I'll love you with all that I have in this world
love me with nothing, love me with nothing
and I'll love you with all of my heart....

you're my mock aquarium plastic shower curtain
the junk mail that promises ten thousand bucks for certain
you're the nuclear power in my microwave
you're the lo-fat, lo-cal of my meatless entree

but love me with nothing, love me with nothing
and I'll love you with all that I have in this world
love me with nothing, love me with nothing
and I'll love you with all of my heart....

you're the door bell that chimes te yellow rose of Texas
the security gate that we fit to protect us
you're the late night large pizza we'll phone-in — delivered!
you're my extra cheeeeese - and my free twelve ounce soda!

so, love me with nothing, love me with nothing
and I'll love you with all that I have in this world
love me with nothing, love me with nothing
and I'll love you with all of my heart... (rpt)

well I think my song needs one more verse
more consumer durable to tell you of my love
but the credit card company just called round
and the buggers took everything that I owned

so, love me with nothing, love me with nothing
and I'll love you with all that I have in this world
love me with nothing, love me with nothing
and I'll love you with all of my heart...

lofi b4 lofi "tender wonder" (1997) recorded on tascam eight track reflected a unique voice in acoustic pop.

two decades later "kinda thingy" collected versions of queer festival favorites such as "12cup espresso maker" and "carolanne woke up today (and she didn't want to go to work)"

heartfelt, intelligent, witty - step into the wonderful slightly off key world of leopard zeppard. ... more
