lyrics

my heart is aching breaking for your love
the birds are falling from the sky above
and its a push and shove
a battle for your love that i can't lose

you sleep on beach towels to the tv's glow
your dad is speaking but its much to slow
and i already know
should you ever go i would be lost

amelia i need you it's true
oh dress me in bowties and you

you hunt for hats and vintage clothes on racks
i am allergic but i'd step on tacks
this town is full of hacks doing jumping jacks
i just want you

amelia i need you it's true
oh dress me in bowties and you
grant hill is waiting

i don't know
where we will go
jump in the water nearly every night
step out of shadow and into the light
visions of drowning start to cloud my day
but you can stop me and throw visions away
only you

and california is the home for me
it quakes and shakes and thunders easily
and if you'd stay with me
we'd wander endlessly, we'd lie around

come on and tell me that you'll stay right here
your folks are dentists they can spot veneer
and if i had you here, things would be so clear
all would be well

Like most songs on the album this song shifts between two distinct modes that work great separately, but when they combine, they become Voltron and are unstoppable! bradykoch

The whole of the lp plays with 1960s pop sounds much like The Ladybug Transistor. I do like The Hangabouts and their care in creating pure pop. krotix
