I can't believe it
I'm so humbled
(Now I get just what I want)
Is this thing on?
I mustn't mumble
(All along I was the one)
Ensure the empire doesn't crumble
(Finally, they're really gone)
I never thought I'd see this moment
(To this I'm holding on)
Who'd have thought I'd ever stand here
(Take a picture to preserve)
Bathing in the warmth of your cheers
(It is me you're gonna serve)
Holding back the very real tears
(Yes, I've got a bloody nerve)
I'm feeling all these mixed emotions
(I'll kick you to the kerb)
Sad to see you go
(I won't be)
The greatest we have ever, ever known
(Yes, that's me)
The fuss you're making
Well, there's no mistaking how much you all adore me
(Well, so you should)
So hard to believe
(Not really)
You would put all of your trust and faith in me
(It's lunacy)
I'm just some guy
I think I'm really gonna cry
Out of everyone, you chose me
(It was meant to be)
Please, no more congratulations
(Unsuspecting minions)
Let's go get 'em
Back to your stations
(Now I want my billions)
Move along
I'm getting impatient now

Should've Stayed at Home

Every time we're out on the weekend
Little thorns are in my side
With your friends around, you just belittle me
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Maybe I'm not much of a boyfriend
Still you take me for a ride
When did we decide this is how it will be?
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I can feel that rot when you hit the spot
Do you think that I don't hear?
You can take your shot, give it all you've got
If you want me out of here
(Go ahead now)
Look at what you do to me every time we've company
You can never leave it alone
What is it I did to be treated like your enemy?
I should've stayed at home
Look at all you've done to me
Things are getting ugly
Now you're calling me on the phone
Don't know if I want to be treated like your enemy
I should've stayed at home
Yeah, I should've stayed at home

Thursday night after dinner
Got to have that TV on
Here we go with this week's countdown
Who d'you think'll be number one?
They said they couldn't get the band or a video
We get Legs & Co.
Legs & Co.
They said they couldn't get the band or a video
We get Legs & Co.
Legs & Co.
Well, it's good for lecherous dads, I suppose
But I'm not happy, no
Because they couldn't get the band or a video
We've got Legs & Co.
Legs & Co.

There's just one thing that you oughta know
It's time to turn up the radio
You're gonna wanna listen to this show, yeah
Just crank it up loud, put down your phone
I think they're just about ready to go
Yeah, it's time for Vince & Jo on Slack City
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
It's time for Vince & Jo on Slack City
(Vince and Jo have a radio show)

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.

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.

Paradise Window
by Grand Drifter
supported by 7 fans who also own “The Promotion (single)”
Splendido Pop, che si perde nella miriade di produzioni in inglese. Secondo me, c'è spazio per questa musica anche cantata in italiano. Arrangiamenti bellissimi.
