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"

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin – Sink / Let It Sway Lyrics 15 years ago
Crappy things happen but you have to roll with the punches. No blinding insight there but a great sounding song.
