| Hefner – Lee Remick Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
I think it was in '83 my father left the family, But came back three weeks later for a love both firm and stable. I think it was in '91 that Lee Remick died. The sibling rivalry between my sister and me Turned into the strongest branch of our family tree. When I was young I dreamt of Lee Remick. She had a ring upon each finger, she was smiling all the while. Her hair was just long enough so it bounced upon her shoulders, She said she always spoke the truth. My Father let me down but I so easily forgave him, And I know the homewrecker has a place within his heart. I used to blame my mother for each and every failure, And how Lee Remick's eyes sparkled that brilliant blue. He looked just like an Ashley but he said his name was Jonathan He was my best friend till he drank so much his heart stank. And all my pretty friends who just grew up and failed And what if I fail? What if I've failed already? Those filthy little angels tugging at my heart saying 'Boredom is a sin, ambition should be everything' When I was young I dreamt of Lee Remick. She had a ring upon each finger, she was smiling all the while. Her hair was just long enough so it bounced upon her shoulders, She said she always spoke the truth. My Father let me down but I so easily forgave him, And I know the homewrecker has a place within his heart. I used to blame my mother for each and every failure, And how Lee Remick's eyes sparkled that brilliant blue. |

| Teenage Fanclub – December Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| The interplay between the two different guitar lines and bass on this song are incredible. And the strings at the end. Pop candy. Teenage Fanclub was influenced by Big Star; I can't help but think that this song relates in some way to September Gurls ("December boy's got it bad"). Something bad happens at the holidays... | |
| The Loft – Up The Hill And Down The Slope Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think this is closer (but still a bunch of lines are tough nuts to crack): Oh my magpie eyes they're hungry for the prize Give me the money or I’ll shoot you right between the eyes My greedy eyes, my beady eyes, they're slow and they stare They are the bright things I might just get them there [chorus] Please, don’t say no Once around the fair So I know Please, don’t say no Once around the fair So I know Year in a year And tits go out and go pants down Go strange and then I punctuate Great big wheels in my father's field Hollow sounds travel round and round Money cackles in a lucky town Over the hill and down the slope To the rattling sound of going home Oh my magpie eyes are hungry for the prize Give me a gun and I’ll shoot you right between the eyes And take me there [chorus] Stalls with prizes and ones with luxury Tempting but not know knowing how Or may now seem And those sad cheerful journeymen Running on their dreams Showing off in the rain And lies the air Seesaw round And stitched you up and go town to town Go strange and I punctuate Great big wheels in my father's fields Hollow sound travel round and round Money cackles in a lucky town Over the hill and down the slope To the rattling sound of going home Over the hill and down the slope To the rattle, rattle, rattle and I'm going home Hollow sounds travel round and round and round Money, money cackles in a lucky town Magpie eyes are hungry for the prize And I’m running, running, running against the weather Here I go in the ebb and flow Over the hill and down the slope Over the hill and down the slope Magpies going down The magpies going down The magpies going down Over the hill and down the slope Over the hill and down the slope |

I think it's simply "Insecurities" rather than "And Insecurities" |

| Crappy things happen but you have to roll with the punches. No blinding insight there but a great sounding song. | |
