Lush - Dear Me

from Lady Killers EP.
Photos from lightfromadeadstar.org - thank you!

It's hard to decipher all the lyrics, best ones are from:
http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/palms/9226/index.html

Look at this page which I wrote yesterday,
Just a selfish expression of fear and depression,
And my insecurity so much a part of me,
Swells up the pages of numerous diaries.

Humiliations both real and imagined,
All lie on this page,
And stare back at me mocking me,
I run away from them,
Push them away from me,
So that I can vaguely turn to embarrass me.

Down comes the rain,
And I try to explain,
The events and the faces,
Emotions and places,
But sometimes the mess of my mind just impresses me,
Where are the words that can tend this confusion?

There was a time when I,
? ? ? ?
Of the sleeper at night,
And the places I love,
Some things that pass,
? the numerous ?
Where is the pain,
Into which ? ?

I lie in my bed and stare up at the ceiling,
Reliving events of a previous evening,
My poor little ego that bruises so easily,
Biting my conscience to justify reason.

Look in your soul tell me what do you see?
Can you honestly say you're completely at ease?
Do you believe that your conscience is clean?
Well I say you're a liar.

Down comes the rain,
And I sit here in pain,
With the people I've lost in the places I've lost.

I have a past that's made up of the real and imagined,
My only excuse was my ignorant youth,
And I've been up since then,
So what's my excuse for the things I have threatened?

Rainin my soul,

Beautiful perfection from a band that can be only more appreciated with time. What could have been...

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

These are some great lyrics, but the way she sings them is what makes them really stand out.

A truly beautiful song. In my opinion, the finest song from the Lovelife recording session. It's a shame that it never made the final cut.

Lovely. I love the beginning. <3

Only North London could have produced "The Abba that isn't Shit". So sad that Chris took himself away.

Song from the "Ladykiller" Ep (#1), one of my favorite Lush EPs.
