I messed up when I said to you
"Could I take you to the prom?"
Oh, I thought we had some chemistry
But it was unstable plutonium (uh-oh)
And now you wanna hang every night
I can barely keep my eyes open
How can I turn back time again?
Oh, where can I find a DeLorean?
Straight A’s to straight F’s
I fell for you and my whole life is a mess now
I'd give it all up if I could just go back
Ask someone else instead
Control-zed, control-zee
There's got to be a way to stop you happening to me
Is this how it's gonna be
Until you've really had just about enough of me?
If ever I was in love with you
I surely blinked, I must have I missed it
And should the feeling ever return
I'd better cross my fingers and try to resist it (uh-oh)
When do get a break from you?
Tell me, I'm not averse to that kind of spoiler
Now they're sending a letter home
Because all my grades are in the toilet
Straight A’s to straight F’s
I fell for you and my whole life is a mess now
I'd give it all up if I could just go back
Ask someone else instead
Control-zed, control-zee
There's got to be a way to stop you happening to me
Is this how it's gonna be
Until you've really had just about enough of me?
Oooh...
Yes, I went from straight A’s to straight F’s
I fell for you and my whole life is a mess now
I'd give it all up if I could just go back
Ask someone else instead
Control-zed, control-zee
There's got to be a way to stop you happening to me
Is this how it's gonna be
Until you've really had just about enough of me?

Oh yeah, sometimes
I wish I was Tom Baker
Navigating space and time
All across the universes
A whole new life
Seeking out troublemakers
Up in the starry skies
Since you told me now to go
I wanna do it in a UFO
Like I’m living in a TV show
It’s got to be better than this, you know
If you really want me to go
Can I do it in a UFO?
Taking me into hyperspace
Far away from the human race
And I won't have to see your face, no
See your face again
Oh oh
Oh oh
'Cause if you really want me to go
I'm flagging down a UFO
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Let's go

What I Ever Saw in You

I don't know what, I don't know what
I don't know what I ever saw in you
I don't know what, I don't know what
I don't know what I ever saw in you
You can't stand me or the things I do at all
Come revolution I'm against the wall, oh
Until that moment, it's sticks and stones
Unless you made plans to break these bones, oh
I don't know what, I don't know what
I don't know what I ever saw in you
I don't know what, I don't know what
I don't know what I ever saw in you
You painted me into a corner,
So what did you imagine I was gonna do there?
I don't know what, I don't know what
I don't know what I ever saw in you
I don't know what, I don't know what
I don't know what I ever saw in you
You can't stand me or the things I do at all
Come revolution I'm against the wall, oh
I don't know what, I don't know what
I don't know what I ever saw in you

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.

Dust in the Path of Love
by The Reds, Pinks & Purples
supported by 13 fans who also own “Untogether (EP)”
I desperately needed something intoxicating and cathartic and this is just what the doctor ordered. Catchy melodies slathered deep in fuzz.

Slow Torture of an Hourly Wage

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

Good Good Great!
by lightheaded
Just like the title says, this charming pop confection from the New Jersey three-piece skips from jangly high to high on their new EP.
go to album
Throwback pop with gleaming synths, chiming guitars, solid melodic hooks, and a cinematic sense of scale from North Carolina's Rachel Kiel.

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

You Know You're Burning Someone
by The Reds, Pinks & Purples
supported by 12 fans who also own “Untogether (EP)”
Me & Magdalena has always been a favourite RPP cover for me. Evocative of a dusty road movie, with distant state lines, sunsets, canyons and oceans; a glorious song about love, memories, loss, regrets and the tantalising, unknown possibilities and pleasures of the future. And I love the LDR cover, too! A sensual, fabulous collection of covers. Thanks, Glenn.
