Wiggle-Iggle Friday Nay-Say Edition

If you don't know Nikka Costa you are missing something truly spectacular! Nikka's Like A Feather kicked off Wiggle Iggle Fridays and there is a song can'tneverdidnothin that is just out of this freakin world. And I've known quite a few people like the one that she sings about (my step-brother is certainly the first to come to mind). But this song is a great reminder that the only one who can get shit done in our lives is ourselves and to never give up. I found this great clip that also gives a little insight as to how amazing she is live. I'm also posting the lyrics to this great song for your enjoyment.



Can'tneverdidnothin'
And neither did couldn't
Never did nobody no good
You better plant in your garden
And make sure you water it like you should

Time has spoiled you rotten
And you done forgotten
Why you been put here
Can'tneverdidnothin'
And neither did couldn't
But make your dreams disappear

Blaming everybody who dealt your hand
But you're keepin' your head in the sand
You should be sweatin while you sit at home
Looking under your bed for your backbone
Instead you ridin' bitch till the tables turn
Till you get your check
Till your luck returns
How are you expecting to find your way
With shoulda woulda coulda coming out your face

Can'tneverdidnothin'
And neither did couldn't
Never did nobody no good
You better plant in your garden
And make sure you water it like you should

Time has spoiled you rotten
And you done forgotten
Why you been put here
Can'tneverdidnothin'
And neither did couldn't
But make your dreams disappear

You keep ridin' your bike in a cul-de-sac
Think you're getting somewhere ridin' piggyback
But you're only gettin' out
what you're puttin' in
So stick your neck out take it on the chin
'Cause there's a whole lotta
nothin' goin' on for too long
'Cause the time isn't right
'Cause it feels all wrong
Wishin' like a baby you could just get on
But ain't nothin' doin' while nothin's done
