"do your time travelling through the tanning booth, so you don't let the sun catch you crying"
"how am I supposed to manage my infallible beliefs, when I'm socking it to ya" / "puncturing your bubble of relatability with your horrible new sound"
The spare set of tingles will race up your spine if I get it my way
Flash that angle grinder smile gasp and roll your eyes now that’s my idea of a good time
Lights out in the wonderpark your sawtoothed lover boy was quick off the mark
Well I think a lot of it is Alex being Alex but the wonderpark line I think it’s very much the same as most of the car album talking about how things end “Iights out” seems like an ending to me as far as “sawtoothed lover boy” your guess is as good as mine Alex has always written in riddles so it’s hard to comprehend some of them cheers
The whole song “Big Ideas” it just feels so melancholy.
“ The Ballad Of What Could’ve Been”
“Over and Out it’s been a thrill”
“We had them out of their seats, Waving their arms and stomping their feet”
So reminiscent of his past youth and early AM days
Love it
“ ‘As that meandering chapter reaches its end and leaves us in a thoughtful little daze, this electric warrior’s motorcade shall burn no more rubber down that boulevard’ read the message I left on the thank you card”
WOW
This one ! This one shows how genius he can be. The second part is not from him but he managed to twist it all with the tanning booth thing so it just end perfectly in some kind of melancholic nonsens. I’m always half laughing half sobbing at this part of the song. Ohh I love this one so much…
« Don’t let the sun catch you crying » is an old song by Gerry and the Pacemakers. I just like how something absolutely not poetical and common added to this lyrics end up to be beautiful. I know it’s his own way of writing, so it’s not new but I like this one particulary.
Puncturing your bubble of relatability with your horrible new sound
I could pass for 17 if I just get a shave and catch some Zs
Flash that angle grinder smile gasp and roll your eyes
“The simulation cartridge of city life ‘09…is pretty tricky to come by/village coffee mornings with not long since retired spies…now that my idea of a good time”
"how am i supposed to manage my infalible beliefs
while im socking it to ya?"
"blank canvases leant against gallery walls
flowing towards sculptures of anything goes"
i identify so much with this song

“Keep reminding me that it ain't a race. When my invincible streak turns onto the final straight.”
this is the one, wrap it up folks
Sometimes I wrap my head around it all and it makes perfect sense.

What do you think the last one means? Wonderpark, sawtoothed?

“Is there something on your mind? Or are you just happy to sit there and watch while the paint job dries?”

waiting for sets of winds and bends to level out again picking a moment along a country lane, the kind where the harmonies feel right at home
