Sucker For The Obvious

from LOVISM by Jay Stansfield

/

lyrics

It’s only some advice,
Not a lecture or critique,
Yet I feel like such a shit heap when I say it more than twice :(

It’s only a suggestion,
Not an order or even right!
Put it plainly out in sight,
Still I’m causing you congestion.

A sucker for the obvious, well, the obvious to me,
Like a bullet train just blasting down the track,
A blur of metal,
I can’t see.

(It holds me back)
It holds me back
(Testosterone)
Testosterone,
(Knows no tact)
Knows no tact...ooooh!

Small lips,
Tight skin,
Shirt rips,
Mood flips,
Fall back,
Head smack,
Hair whips,
We kiss!

A sparkle flower,
See the sun,
A perfect circle,
Almost gone,
I placed this power in you,
And never did I mean to hurt you,
Heaven gave you loving.

Big explosions of an unknown curse,
Penetrate the air,
What once was calm and fair,
Is suddenly made so much worse.

A reset button would be nice,
One that you could press,
But the perfume in this silly mess,
Is smelling like Old Spice.

A sucker for the obvious, well, the obvious to me,
Like a bullet train just blasting down the track,
A blur of metal,
I can’t see.

(It holds me back)
It holds me back
(Testosterone)
Testosterone,
(Knows no tact)
Knows no tact...ooooh!

Small lips,
Tight skin,
Shirt rips,
Mood flips,
Fall back,
Head smack,
Hair whips,
We kiss!

A sparkle flower,
See the sun,
A perfect circle,
Almost gone,
I placed this power in you,
And never did I mean to hurt you,
Heaven gave you loving virtues all for me. x x x

about

Jay Stansfield Lancashire

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

An artist with an eccentric songcraft, wrapped up in a 60s pop sheen.

He has steadily built a bank of great songs and some amazing videos - in his fiercely independent fashion.

Jay is also fronts British postpunk band ALL HAIL HYENA who can be found here on Bandcamp.
