this is one of my favourits songs like. ever. for real!! i love all of it!! the extra voices in the "for all the cheap champagne!" line? the whispers in between the "all the glimmer, all the fortune that ive known" line?? the absolute power in that "so i'll smash the lights set the whole stage aglow"??? the ending piano with that beautiful "we were meant to be" floating off??? the theremin echoing throughout it all???? i could gush about how wonderful this song, and the whole album, is, but this has got to be one of my favorite tracks.
I have ocd and I get sucked into listening to the same songs over and over, it’s been a joy giving your songs a shot I absolutely love your music, keep up the amazing work man :)) 💕
For the friend that i sent this song to cause they like to read the lyrics while listening for the first time You're the single worst decision I've ever made Throw my cares away I like to keep you moving Sliding down your seat at the cabaret Love it when you say Who do you think you're fooling Kiss me like you mean it, I'll do the same If you bite me hard Make sure you leave a scar And love me like you don't need her anyway It might seem bizarre But I might let you break my heart Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, woah-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh And I remember when I saw you the other day In the alleyway But you were busy drinking All the single women like chardonnay Tell me what you paid For all that cheap champagne Love me like you mean it, I'll do the same 'Cause you know it's true That I'm a fool for you I never meant to love you, it's just a game This is child's play But now there's so much more at stake All the glamour All the fortune that I've known All these diamonds Oh, my honey And all you can say is no So I'll smash the lights and set the whole stage aglow It's the final scene Where you confess to me That I'm the only lover you've ever known Come on, lie to me And say that we were meant to be Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh We were meant to be
