RELEASE INFORMATION
WHEN THE PAWN. . . was released in 1999, with leading single FAST AS YOU CAN (and later LIMP and PAPER BAG) released beforehand. APPLE wrote the entire album herself and had it produced by JON BRION. WHEN THE PAWN. . . was met with critical acclaim. it is APPLE's SECOND STUDIO ALBUM.
WHEN THE PAWN. . .'s FULL TITLE was written by APPLE and is as follows:
When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king
What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight
And he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring
There's no body to batter when your mind is your might
So when you go solo, you hold your own hand
And remember that depth is the greatest of height
And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land
And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you'll know that you're right
FAVORITE LYRICS
"i let the beast in too soon, i don't know how to live without my hand on his throat. . .""i'll soon grow hungry for a fight and i will not let you win. . ."
"no, not baby anymore. . . if i need you, i'll just use your simple name. . ."
"and i'll be your girl if you say it's a gift. . . i'll be your pet if you just tell me it's a gift. . ."
"so keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on; and i'll keep kickin' the crap til it's gone. . ."
"how could i fight when we're on the same side? how could i fight beside you?"
"cause i do know what's good for me, and i've done what i could for you. . ."
