Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken :: Camera Obscura

If you're like me and go to your happy place every time you listen to old Belle & Sebastian, you will love Camera Obscura. They are also from Glasgow and obviously take a lot of influence from B & S, but they have their own thing going on, and it's really great.

I saw these guys perform in the 400 Bar in Minneapolis for ten bucks, four years ago, with my lesbian cousins from Norway. True story.



Lyrics:

Lloyd, I’m ready to be heartbroken

He said “I’ll protect you like you are the crown jewels” yet
Said he’s feeling sorrier for me the more I behave badly I can bet

Hey Lloyd I’m ready to be heartbroken
I can’t see further than my own nose at the moment

Jealousy is more than a word now I understand
I know you can stay a girl by holding a boy’s hand

Hey Lloyd I’m ready to be heartbroken
I can’t see further than my own nose at the moment
Hey Lloyd I’m ready to be heartbroken
I can’t see further than my own nose at the moment

I’ve got my life a compilation here to sort out
I’ll take myself to an east coast city and walk about

Hey Lloyd I’m ready to be heartbroken
I can’t see further than my own nose at the moment
Hey Lloyd I’m ready to be heartbroken
I can’t see further than my own nose at the moment
Hey Lloyd I’m ready to be heartbroken
I can’t see further than my own nose at the moment
