lyrics

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?

about

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.

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. broseleyimp
