In the chorus, can anyone make out the words that follow 'Suddenly...' and 'magically' (those lines specifically)? I listen over and over. I think the first one is 'suddenly, it was more than a accident' (or accent or action), but the 'magically' line eludes me entirely.

@Timmybear The lyric goes: "Suddenly, we were more than an accident, magically, we were Peters and Lee" :)

Jesus, this woman is fucking genius - I wish more people got her - she's Marc Bolan and Dorothy Parker all wrapped in a sexy minx body - I forgot how much I loved this when it first came out, and am still awaiting her next opus......

Stars Shining. Smile ...

mikedevery Thank you! These lyrics are elusive.

[mikedevery]

Maybe I should clarify it It was doomed from the start I gave you a starring role But you tried to take my part And even as the stars are shining As we celebrate You know I can't help thinking What a cruel twist of fate... Oh God, I liked your sense of humour But I'll be looking out for it in future... (sarcastically) Oh babe, I can't smile without you Can't smile when I'm blue If you only knew what I'm going through I just can't smile...

[mikedevery]

Maybe I should simplfy it Well I didn't care Why bother to deny it? You just happened to be there I was just a sad survivor You made it clear But you took my indecision For something sinister... Suddenly We were more than an accident Magically We were Peters & Lee Surgically Way beyond separation But tragically We just couldn't agree

The key line in this song is "I gave you a starring role, but you tried to take my part."

This is a great song--and I have to say, I thought "You're History" was a nasty kiss-off to Keren and Sara, but this is even more blunt!

[Timmybear]

@CastingAway - Oh, and thank you (how careless of me not to have said so on my first reply *blush*).

[Timmybear]

@CastingAway - having no idea who they are, this may be why I wasn't figuring it out. It's like the Stutz Bear Cat line in Sweet Jane - I'd never heard of the car, so would never have guessed that's what Lou was singing.
