camera obscura'nın videosunun da çekildiği my maudlin career albümünün bir numaralı şarkısı. bu mükemmel şarkı eşliğinde dans etmek de pek bir hoştur ayriyyetten. sözlerini de yapıştırayım:

spent a week in a dusty library
waiting for some words to jump at me
we met by a trick of fate
french navy, my sailor mate

we met by the moon on a silvery lake
you came my way
said, "i want you to stay."

you and your dietary restriction
said you loved me with a lot of conviction
i was waiting to be struck by lightning
waiting for somebody exciting

like you
oh, the thing that you do
you make me go, "oooh"
with the things that you do, you do, you do

i wanted to control it
but love, i couldn't hold it
i wanted to control it
but love, i couldn't hold it

i'll be criticized for lending out my art
i was criticized for letting you break my heart
why would i stand for disappointed looks?
i'm fully grown but i'm on tenterhooks with the looks

on tenterhooks,
ooh, with the looks, the looks, the looks

i wanted to control it
but love, i couldn't hold it
i wanted to control it
but love, i couldn't hold it

relationships were something i used to do
convince me they are better for me and you
we met by a trick of fate
french navy, my sailor-

i wanted to control it
but love, i couldn't hold it
i wanted to control it
but love, i couldn't hold it

my maudlin career'dan çıkmış ilk single, çok tatlı, mutlu eden bir camera obscura şarkısı.

insanın eline mikrofona benzer bir şey alıp avaz avaz söyleme isteği uyandıran şarkılardan.
hele şu yeri söylerken bir edalı oluyorum:

"i'll be criticized for lending out my art
i was criticized for letting you break my heart
why would i stand for disappointed looks?
i'm fully grown but i'm on tenterhooks with the looks"

ve benim gibi "canlı performans candır" diyenler için bir kıyak: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57j8ejo07pi
