I am special. I'm a special guy. Tiny feelings, tiny impulses. Kind of worthless how the time does fly when every hour I've watched you sit and cry. I was placing orders like a weekend warrior. I was worried when you wouldn't pick up the phone. Sitting up in bed spitting all over myself, no tone in my head. My head. I've committed many heinous acts. I have pondered what it would be like to have murdered all my closest friends. I deserve you. You deserve the truth. Girls, they are so fragile; they don't know what I mean. They don't know what it's like when I shoot up my feelings. Life will take you over, so I push it aside. I don't want to live, I don't want to die. I can sit inside and ponder what it was like when I was seventeen and I didn't need this, but I was never fragile; I was never aware of the tone in my head. My head. So when you're sleeping in the summer heat, I hope you're dreaming and you dream of me, and all you're dreaming becomes a fever scene until you're screaming to get out that dream.
The great underlying instrumentation paired with Florence's droll stream of consciousness lyrics make this album stand out. It feels so personal and confessional. Favorite tracks are Strong Feelings and Leafy. I've heard Scratchard Lanyard on alt radio and love that one as well. tofupotpie
Drop the needle and drop right out of all the worries of the world. If only for a while. It’s totally worth it. These are fantastic tunes from a legendary band. Just mind blowingly beautiful then savage then beautiful again. Yep…. bit like life. Enjoy…. johno71
