| Camera Obscura – Other Towns and Cities Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think it's a shame that this song doesn't fit perfectly on the album because lyrically it's one of the strongest. In particular I like: These words are weak and to your dislike You'll never believe them so I guess it's alright |

| Camera Obscura – My Maudlin Career Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think it's a pun on that. Maudlin is basically a synonym for miserable, downbeat, weak, sentimental. I also think it's Traceyanne poking fun at herself, as Morrissey does in his track 'Late Night, Maudlin Street'. | |
| Camera Obscura – Away with Murder Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Is this song the sequel to Eighties Fan? | |
| Camera Obscura – Swans Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
My probably quite idiosyncratic idea of what the first two verses might be: There's flowers in my house And I bought them myself No surprises in the record collection You must have thought I was someone else I'm still afraid to get lost In a city I might explore But I'm not afraid to have an Eloquent boy at my door at my door at my door at my door |

| Camera Obscura – French Navy Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Think the lyrics are more like this: Spent a week in a dusty library Waiting for some words to jump at me We met by a trick of fate French navy, my sailor mate We met by the moon on a silvery lake You came my way Said, "I want you to stay" You with your dietary restriction Said you loved me with a lot of conviction I was waiting to be struck by lightning Waiting for somebody exciting Like you Oh, the thing that you do You make me go, "Oooh" With the things that you do, you do, you do I wanted to control it But love, I couldn't hold it I wanted to control it But love, I couldn't hold it I'll be criticized for lending out my eye (?) I was criticized for letting you break my heart Why would a ___(?) disappoint unless Fooling all but I'm on tenderhooks, ooh with the looks On tenderhooks, Ooh, with the looks, the looks, the looks I wanted to control it But love, I couldn't hold it I wanted to control it But love, I couldn't hold it Relationships were something I used to do Convince me they are better for me and you We met by a trick of fate French navy, my sailor- I wanted to control it But love, I couldn't hold it I wanted to control it But love, I couldn't hold it ------------------------------------------ Still a couple of Glaswegian-twanged bits I couldn't decipher! |
