You were everything to me
But now my eyes are opened
I can’t believe
This side I never saw
You’re telling me that’s how it is
And sometimes hearts are broken
Do I want to leave?
Well, I don’t want this anymore
You wanted me to choose
So what’ve I got to lose?
Another path I cannot find
It’s time to put all this behind me
Where will I go?
Oh, wouldn't you like to know?
Your turn to be blindsided
I'm going where you’ll never find me
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Maybe I was drunk in love
Well, trust me now I'm sober
I can't believe
I missed all this before
Well, now at least I've woken up
There's little to think over
I was so naive
But I know what these boots are for
You wanted me to choose
So what’ve I got to lose?
Another path I cannot find
It’s time to put all this behind me
Where will I go?
Oh, wouldn't you like to know?
Your turn to be blindsided
I'm going where you’ll never find me
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

So what’ve I got to lose?
Another path I cannot find
It’s time to put all this behind me
Where will I go?
Oh, wouldn't you like to know?

I'm going where you’ll never find me

Here come the Chertseyites
South down the A320
Mum's family make it right
Need kindness? They've got plenty
What's for our tea tonight?
"Curried monkey, dog biscuits and gravy"
It's really crinkle-cut chips, right?
I wonder when we're ever gonna see them again
Oh
Ever gonna see them again
I wonder when we're ever gonna see them again
Oh
Ever gonna see them again
Oh
There lived our youngest aunt
Walls covered with pictures from Look-In
Says Kate's a witch
I can't decide whether it's true or she's joking
When it's time for us to part, pass the F.C.
They really cemented a solid bond in my heart
I wonder when we're ever gonna see them again
Oh
Ever gonna see them again
I wonder when we're ever gonna see them again
Oh
Ever gonna see them again
I wonder when we're ever gonna see them again
I wonder when we're ever gonna see them again
Oh
I wonder when we're ever gonna see them again

Into this world you brought me, yeah
Can I pretend I didn't have a care?
Well, you did what you could with a little
I couldn't ask for any more, not really
I loved you 'though I might've never said
My actions spoke, I like to think, instead
Never doubted you loved me and I won't ever forget
But will we meet again someday?
Up there
Could we be together?
Up there
Well, I don't know whether I'll even make it alone
It's not like I would dare to think I'm worth it
Up there
Would I even find you?
Up there
With the one who designed you?
I'd better dim any hopes of ever telling you
Just how much you meant to me
Up there
Up there
Ooh
Up there
Could we be together?
Up there
Well, I don't know whether I'll even make it alone
It's not like I would dare to think I'm worth it
Up there
Would I even find you
Up there
With the one who designed you?
I'd better dim any hopes of ever telling you
Just how much you meant to me
Up there
Up there

Now You're Gone

Something was very wrong
You'd been away too long
I'd lost track of all the times when you weren't around
Not separated for so many nights before
Immersed in other new trials I'd found
Then came the gathering
The mood was sobering
You had to leave us
Was this some kind of joke?
I very nearly laughed
This couldn't come to pass
But from this dreaming I never awoke
I, I just don't know how to feel now you're gone
It's like nothing is real
I thought you would heal
Now I'm in the dark without your light
They said you’d be fine
They'd make you better and then you'd come back home
Into the earth you're descending
There's no happy ending
And never a chance to say goodbye
My final memory is of you telling me
Once this was over we'd go together to hear
The heavy monster sound when Madness came to town
Another form of insanity's here
Now what are we to do?
How will we make it through?
I realise there's so much I still didn't know
Now I can never ask
I've only photographs
Their thousand words won't last a lifetime, though
I, I just don't know how to feel now you're gone
It's like nothing is real
I thought you would heal
Now I'm in the dark without your light
They said you’d be fine
They'd make you better and then you'd come back home
Into the earth you're descending
There's no happy ending
And never a chance to say goodbye

The Photocopies Michigan
Unapologetically old-school #indiepop in a mid-80s-to-early-90s vein, made without secret plans to fill stadiums (ugh). Think lo-fi #c86 #twee #postpunk #janglepop etc. Originally from London.

Nice single. Favorite track is "Seems Like We're Always Starting Over" for the snappy snare!

Think Murmur, think The Good Earth. Guitars jangle and sparkle. Timeless, feelgood pop, what the world needs now.

IV
by Letting Up Despite Great Faults
On their latest LP, the Austin group peel away the synth and distortion to highlight the jangly melodies at the core of their songs.

On “Exposure & Response,” Troper writes the kind of songs that would have filled stadiums in a bygone era.
