Without Russell's voice on top this could sound very mainstream, if you didn't catch the lyrics, which are so clever, very "Sparks-ish". If you get it. In my opinion. But as it is, I really like this song.
Not only heartbreak, the word 'get' has a double meaning here. More lack of understanding a complicated world. They seem pretty content, lying side by side with their caffeine (?! 🤣☕), don't you think?
The world is hard, the people so mean, are things I don't get ,things I don't get. We sit on the floor and talk about dreams and things we won't get, things we won't get.
"a chair that's designed by charles and rae eames"
i love it
That was after Sparks' Interior Design, but before Scandinavian Design 😉
(The first an album, the latter a song on 'Hippopotamus'.)
Only Franz Ferdinand can make heartbreak sound sweet :)
Even though this has Nick McCarthy on lead vocal, it has Sparks stamped all over it.

It makes me feel sad and melancholy. I think I like it too...
I'm still have god remembers of this song!
Sad Nigga Hours.
Nice song, it's hilarious, but the chorus is quite beautiful actually.
Russell.
I think the song, which is fantastic, would also work well as anFranz Ferinand blast. I meant to say Franz Ferdinad. yES, THATS right.
Sounds like modest mouse this track
Can someone please please gave the CHORDS for this one? there´s one on ultimate guitar but it doesn´t match the song at all.
