lyrics
Hey, hey
Guess I gotta go away now
Look at all the mess I’ve made
I didn’t mean to scare you off so soon
I get lost in everything I ever say
I didn’t mean to say it that way
Or maybe it just wasn’t meant for you
Now we’re a long, long way from heaven
Way from sunny afternoons
Took a shot shot shot in the dark
Missed and triggered the car alarm
Hey, hey
You can tell me off all day
But it doesn’t matter either way
I’m living in a constant fear of you
I’m in a lockdown
Wasting all my numbered days
Now always feeling just ok
How likely is it that we’ll see it through
Now we’re a long, long way from heaven
Way from sunny afternoons
But it’s joke to think we’d be the
Perfect couple
Its far from true
Took a shot, shot, shot in the dark
Missed and triggered the car alarm
I declined your wedding invitation
Made a joke said “I’ll be at the next one”
You didn’t think it was funny
It’s a long game I’m always playing
This song 30 years in the making
If you lost count, you can call me
Took a shot, shot, shot in the dark
Missed and triggered the car alarm
Now we’re a long, long way from heaven
Way from sunny afternoons
But it’s joke to think we’d be the
Perfect couple
Its far from true
Took a shot, shot, shot in the dark
Missed and triggered the car alarm
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness. Bandcamp New & Notable May 13, 2016
