When she was 22 the future looked bright
But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night
I see that look in her face she's got that look in her eye
She's thinking how did I get here and wondering why
It's sad but it's true how society says
Her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age
Stop Making Stupid People Famous - Our Lady Peace (feat. Pussy Riot)
Lyrics
I've got the feeling we were dreaming when the panic attacked
And we keep making stupid people famous now we're paying for that
We look for meaning on the ceiling
When we lie in our beds
We blame our parents and our therapist for clouding our heads
(Oh yeah)
I know you got it
We're working hard on a dream
I know you want it
We're working hard on a dream
I know you got it
Unceremoniously
But we're working hard on a dream
And hey (alright)
Tell me how you're living
And hey (alright)
Tell me are you with me
I've got the feeling I was dreaming when I woke up in jail
And we keep making stupid people famous now we're living in hell
I know you got it
We're working hard on a dream
I know you want it
We're working hard on a dream
I know you got it
Unceremoniously
But we're working hard on a dream
And hey (alright)
Tell me how you're living
And hey (alright)
Tell me are you with me
Stop, we gotta stop
Stop, we gotta stop
And hey (alright)
Tell me how you're living
(Stop making stupid people famous)
And hey (alright)
Tell me are you with me
(Stop making stupid people famous)
And hey (alright)
Tell me how you're living
(Stop making stupid people famous)
And hey (alright)
Tell me are you with me
(Stop making stupid people famous)
Nowadays Sunday night gigs are a non-starter as I can't hack the fatigue at the start of a working week but I made an exception for Parisienne band En Attendant Ana. There's some good indiepop coming from Paris at the moment. Loved every song they played and I could have easily listened to more.
Track - Flesh & Blood

It's just a cigarette and it harms your pretty lungs
Well, it's only twice a week so there's not much of a chance
It's just a cigarette, it'll soon be only ten
Honey, can't you trust me? When I want to stop, I can
