Eighties Fan Lyrics

Lyric discussion by dreamface 

Cover art for Eighties Fan lyrics by Camera Obscura

Ah, Cámera Obscura rock... yes, they're from Glasgow, where I too spent most of my life (and saw them often... ironically, though, I mostly saw them down in London.) I love this track; although my favourite has to be 'Before you cry,' whose lyrics are unfortunately not up here; you should try to find the track-- from Underacheivers Please Try Harder-- and fall in love witht. Anyway, a few points:

. yeah, Misfit Creep and Kay-arla are absolutely right... although I find the idea of Calico words in Eighties really evocative.

. she's saying 'your love will be the death of you,' not life. For people not used to Tracyanne's accent, love & life can seem interchangeable, but there is a definite difference...
