about

Co-written with bassist Heather Jensen [Adulterous Woman, The Meat Joy]in 1990, this song almost landed Adulterous Woman a deal with Bar None Records in 1993. Instead, the band unfortunately broke up in 1994 with the loss of guitarist Natalie Wood. The Trans Fatty Asses' version was the result of a choice by Todd Osborn to revisit unrecorded/unreleased Adulterous Woman songs, a few of which appear on the TTFA album This May Be It. Meet The Wife Of The Devil is an outtake from that album.

lyrics

Look! The hot sun beating down everyone
– a catalyst for fun until the day is done.
It’s like a stab in the head
– nearly I could drop dead, out flat on the floor.
and even more, mon ami said, from his drenched bed,
“It could be cold, cold, cold, cold where you live,
but summer is like being in love.”

I look down the row of faces,
see the wife of the devil laughing at me.
Her hair is alive – it looks like fire
– and her attire is better than mine,
her lips sweeter than wine, but poisonous
– a bitter pill to take, imaginary and fake,
not genuine – I don’t know why…

…but I’m in love with the wife of the devil

Meet the wife of the devil
And the fall of the devil
Take the life of the devil
She’s the all of the devil

Girl’s got the look of the devil
Written in the book of the devil
Cry for him, cry for the devil
What’s been taken from the devil is all

…but I’m in love with the wife of the devil

about

The Trans Fatty Asses Silver Spring, Maryland

The Trans Fatty Asses made a false start in 2010 when Todd Osborn (drums, guitar, voice, songs) attempted to put a live band together comprised of Bob Crain (drums, guitar, voice), Nick Johnson (Keys, electronics), and Aki Zenji (bass). Zenji had to leave the band, was replaced, but it all splintered after that due to bad timing. Osborn picked it up again as a personal recording project in 2016. ... more
