I've come on a few years from my Hollywood Highs
The best of the last, the cleanest star they ever had

I'm stiff on my legend,
The films that I made
Forget that I'm fifty
'Cause you just got paid

I wonder who this is about? gossip

Time.

The other more hi-concept track on the album.

This is why D. Bovvie is so truly Great.

Breaking up is hard, but keeping dark is hateful
I had so many dreams
I had so many breakthroughs
But you, my love, were kind, but love has left you dreamless
The door to dreams was closed
Your park was real dreamless
Perhaps you're smiling now
Smiling through this darkness
But all I had to give was guilt for dreaming

Foreshadowing of Bovvie's lyrics on "Under Pressure"...

Glorious.

Gone a bit Marc Bolan.

by Nightjar Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:28 pm

A lovely song this.

Cole Porter-esque.

by Nightjar Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:29 pm

A bit like "Soul Love" from Ziggy Stardust in terms of its gentle, low-key style.

Someone's already voted. gasp

This is the best track, so far.

by Nightjar Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:30 pm

An excellent cover this.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:30 pm

It's quite like Showaddywaddy now.

You say that like it's a bad thing.
