Another ungrateful task for my very busy friend Kaypea Porsch is to bare my heart’s trials whenever I come back from a show in love with a new girl whose only fault is to singing in a band. “Mark, you’re so blinded by the pop stars” I heard her say one day. “Wait a minute! That’s brilliant! It’s gonan be a song!”, was clearly reply! Since Rimauli suggested that the name of the album should have been epic and a clear reference to the indie culture, at this point of the writing/recording process I had already decided that the name of the album should have been “There’s A Girl That Never Goes Out”. It was clear that at least a song should have been Smiths oriented, so I made “Blinded” the one. Lyrics are a sort of album manifesto, while it’s up to you cracking whose behind all those girls’ names and what the title of the song is hinting at. I really like the harmonica on that. Hope you like it too
lyrics
Little princess Natalie
in psychological waars
got to win your Globe Awaards
helping me is the role
Scarlett Scarlett sing along
you got to whisper that horse
he’s a fool in a ghost world
you’re not meant for him at all
Jennifer suggests
I won’t live without her
as I’m modeling worlds I will forget no more
MIlla can’t you see
THere’s nothing left to fear
though I can’t tell you’re real
or real fantasy, because…
I was blinded by the pop stars
Baby I was blinded by the pop stars
And I’m burning my eyes
setting my thoughts on fire
selling my world to the franchise
blinded by the pop stars
Baby I was blinded by the pop stars
it’s so hard to resist
when I look at the screen
electromagnetic cute sights
and there is a girl that never goes out….
Karen left me with an Oh
turning me into some strange playboy
but it’s mia who won my soul
with her unsual joy
Jenny Lewis is having fun
she’s available now
Neko just won’t let me down
as long as she is around
Fiona loves and hates
I can’t live without her
as she tells her friends
I’m one of her casual guests
Pin-up Sammy Fox
can’t touch you without pop
a bubble framed my heart
I know it’s about to blast
and there is a girl that never goes out….
that will never never never cross my path downtown
and there is a girl that never goes out….
and I’ll never never never see her leave that house
