Dollybird

from LOVISM by Jay Stansfield

lyrics

Remember the good old days?
When we all used to say we’d stay together?
Oh well looks to me like things have changed.

Camping on a Summer’s eve,
Catching moths on the breeze,
We sneeze coughing and laughing,
Now we all just try to please.

The absence of a good heart is shrouded by beauty,
Tears and tantrums will always win,
In the Game of Life,
Twist the knife,
Dollybird.

Filming everything we do,
Making movies of me and you and anything else,
Captured on a Hi-8 tape.

Now it’s just a memory,
Of how things used to be,
We’ve grown and shown our new friends,
Exactly what we did see.

The absence of a good heart is shrouded by beauty,
Tears and tantrums will always win,
In the Game of Life,
Twist the knife,
Dollybird.

They’re going out again,
This time they’re leaving us behind.
They’re going out again,
Smashing our hearts every time,
How can a person claim to be so caring and kind and stab you in your back?
A wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Am I a monster?
Or just so embarrassing to be around with you?
I tried to reach out and warn you,
But your eyes were blinkered,
I’m sorry pal :(

Original, affecting and a tad bonkers, Jay Stansfield has charmed us with his inventive approach to songwriting.
