you said my parents should have named me lullaby
cause i'm good at putting you to sleep
you said you wouldn't call me boring
but you don't think i'm very interesting
i am batting my eyelashes
but you can't hear it over the phone
i am trivial and you are vulgar
we can't get past cream and sugar
bored with coffee conversation
and mistakes we keep on making
we passed pigeons cooing on the side walk and
i asked you what you thought they said
i'm almost positive you didn't care
but you replied with "i'm not sure what they meant"
i am batting my eyelashes
but you can't hear it over the phone
Another great album - dean wareham, joanna gruesome, lonely tourist, dorotea, the chills, manhattan love suicides & spearmint are all highlights but the whole lot is pretty darn great really martin kiosk
The name of this album perfectly encapsulates everything I love about Elizabeth's musical output from the Darlings to Allo Darlin' to these precious songs: an unyielding optimism that is never naive, and by being so, becomes wildly contagious. Some music tells you that "everything will be ok", but her music actually makes you believe it, even when the lyrics hint at doubt. Michael Feck
