when you're lucid you're the sweetest thing

Camera Obscura is one of the many bands that can make me sing (and dance) in the shower. My first album would be Let's Get Out of This Country which is a gift from the boyfriend. I would always point it to him when we go to record stores. Not really hinting (no really. haha!). My latest acquisition is this vinyl of My Maudlin Career which is my most favorite album of the band. We waited for this (along with other vinyls of his) for months since it will be coming from UK, I think. I was so ecstatic when we finally got the package; this being my first vinyl and all. 


We listened to this and other vinyls we found stashed in the house (Bread, some Carpenters) this past V-day. It was the sweetest V-day I can remember. :)

today's music is brought to you by...

Camera Obscura
Suspended from Class




You’re such a beautiful writer 
that’s not all you are 
I’m sorry about making a pass 
It was subtle but I think that you grasped 
The meaning intended 
I can be a friend to you 
I won’t pretend 
I’m not interested in breaking a heart 
It’s not love no it’s nothing like that 
I’ll leave that to lookers like him 
Oh he’s such a delicate thing 
Now it’s such a fragile thing that we have 

I should be suspended from class 
I don’t know my elbow from my arse 
I should be suspended from class 
I don’t know my elbow from my arse 
We could go out dancing 
But, in truth it is the last thing that I have on my mind 
Please say if I’m way out of line 
I won’t need telling twice 
Now he wants to kiss 
Said he can’t resist 
You’re going to have to keep it hidden inside 
I’ve a feeling that pigs might fly, might fly 
I should be suspended from class 
I don’t know my elbow from my arse 
I should be suspended from class 
I don’t know my elbow from my arse 
You’re such a beautiful writer 
And that’s not all you are 
I’m sorry about making a pass 
It was subtle but I think that you grasped 
The meaning intended 

I should be suspended from class 
I don’t know my elbow from my arse
