welcome critics

Post by DreadPirateRoberts »

She wears her heart upon her record sleeves
And every song she sings makes her believe
That she's not alone
But her speaker's blown
And it shakes her confidence in what she needs

Here comes the song he used to play for her
She'd want to give it up to him by the second verse
She starts to touch her lip
But the record skips
Over and over like a bad dream in reverse

And every single takes her back to
Every single date, she has to
Remember why she gave a damn at all
So just let the needle fall

Flip it to the b-side and turn it up a bit
Just like her boyfriends, it's all hit or miss
But she'll sing along
Never get it wrong
'Cause nothing ever makes her feel the same as this

And every single takes her back to
Every single date, she has to
Remember why she gave a damn at all
So just let the needle fall

how did you know i wrote it for you! joking ;)

been lurking on the general forum for awhile, then found this today. thought getting some critical input from costello fans would be the most literate criticism around. i'll probably keep throwing them up here. (sounds gross)

Not bad! I'd say pretty darn nifty-how is that for literate? :wink:

Its thematically similar to a great Ray Davies tune called To The Bone. Nice work.
