Currently listening to...

...the charming, breezy and care-free "Lights Out, Words Gone" by Bombay Bicycle Club. I've had this on "repeat" most of the evening.

Although the video is cute enough, I don't think it does the song justice. The lyrics are not so breezy and care-free, and the images distract from the tension between the music and the meaning.



Keep your old and wasted word
My heart is breaking like you heard
But the town has always turned
these lies and made them all burn

Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
but the town has always turned
these lies and made them all burn

Let me be the one to put on
Let me be the one to try it on

Can you feel the leeches bite
That boy that she took out tonight
He's brave and walking sure
through all the spots you're working for

Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
but the town has always turned
these lies and made them all burn

Let me be the one to put on
Let me be the one to try it on

When the light is out
when the words have gone
let me be the one to try it on
