Fashionable Lyrics

Such a great ballad full of so much passion and emotion. It invokes the image of a girl who is the epitome of poise and elegance, who is kind of aloof and cold, but she has to be because she is so broken inside. It also sounds like the narrator had a chance to be with her, to be the one to sweep her off her feet and to heal her brokenness, but he let it slip away.

It always makes me think of my idealized conception of New York at night -- both refined and gritty at the same time.
