A grey paradise of unfolded wrongs where your body's a force of some other kind some other kind such a bad idea trying to outgrow myself and it can't happen here singing from the bandshell it goes and spins and wraps around wings of silk and linen flow out our spines collapse such a bad idea it it can't happen here

It's so easy to say you're sorry but it won't go away
no no no ahhhh
I don't want to hear what you have to say I don't I don't there's this dream I have where you go somewhere so far away and I stay right here on holiday like I'm sixteen spring break at home and I am all right
You've got the really good friends that don't know you don't you get too proud (proud?) What am I singing about? It's just a melody! It doesn't mean a thing-it's here to make the song better. I'm not even thinking about where it goes/ now I am/ yes it's spring it's spring in ten days....
The clocks... speed them up the clocks! Speed them up! There's this dream I have where you go somewhere so far away and I stay right here on holiday like I'm sixteen spring break at home and I am all right
I find it easy to think of other ways this could've turned out
Coded messages / polite displays
It's too much, it's just too much to stop now.

This mess that falls loosely from my shoulders its civil war
of our memory's decision to mean different meanings yeah
I contort
But is this some kind of romancing that I haven't seen before?
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Some time last year we thought we'd go that way there's a man with a pocket knife oh convincing it's just too late. There are people in theatres promised the silver screen-don't you misbehave there where you're surrounded by light. And there's a man with a pocket knife.
(POW) (OW)
But there's always something somewhere somewhere there's always something somewhere.
(COOL)
But I don't think of this other thing that you do no I don't think of no I don't think of this other thing that you do no I don't.

Something's happened a still figure has taken a step Narcissus and numbness it's not despicable it is tragedy it is tragedy.
There is a pause in every conversation it is two talking eyes a feeling we have.

Improvised, more or less meaningless in this one, why bother?

Give Pleasure recommends:
Can't even begin with this one. Alex Cameron's faultless blend of humor and hook is genius, but more importantly manages to be so contemporary while referencing Orbison, Presley, Petty, you get it.

The Undisco Kidds
by Boots For Dancing
Found this browsing bins at a shop in Carroll Gardens, BK. Had never heard of the group before, but bought this comp anyway. It's exactly what you want when someone puts J. Peel's name on the record!

Flower Of Life [LP]

"Flower Of Life" yanks riot grrrl south through the unmistakable garage psych sound indispensable to the last 20-odd years of rock music out of Los Angeles.
