about

I've been a fan of Aimee Mann's music since high school. I never expected to see her live... or, at least, I thought I'd have to travel to America to get the chance. Needless to say, I was thrilled when she announced an Australian tour out of the blue a few years ago. Her show at the Palais was amazing, definitely a gig I cherish.

Anyway, here's a cover of one of my favourite Aimee Mann songs. It's one of her best. I highly recommend the album, too... it's called Bachelor No.2 and it's absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Enjoy 'Red Vines' - next upload will be an original song, promise!

lyrics

They're all still on their honeymoon
Just read the dialogue balloon
Everyone loves you--why should they not?
And I'm the only one who knows
That Disneyland's about to close
I don't suppose you'd give it a shot
Knowing all that you've got

Are cigarettes and Red Vines
Just close your eyes, 'cause, baby,
You never do know
And I'll be on the sidelines,
With my hands tied,
Watching the show

Well, it's always fun and games until
It's clear you haven't got the skill
In keeping the gag from going too far
So you're running 'round the parking lot
Til every lightning bug is caught
Punching some pinholes in the lid of a jar
While we wait in the car

With cigarettes and Red Vines
Just close your eyes, 'cause, baby,
You never do know
And I'll be on the sidelines,
With my hands tied,
Watching the show

And tell me, would it kill you
Would it really spoil everything
If you didn't blame yourself
Do you know what I mean?

Cigarettes and Red Vines
Just close your eyes, 'cause, baby,
You never do know
And I'll be on the sidelines,
With my hands tied,
Watching the show
Watching the show
