Camera Obscura - Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken Lyrics






He said "I'll protect you like you are the crown jewels", yeah
Said he's feeling sorrier for me the more I behave badly
I can bet

Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
'cuz I can't see further than my own nose at this moment

Jealousy is more than a word, now I understand
You can't stay a girl while holding a boy's hand

Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
'cuz I can't see further than my own nose at this moment
Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
'cuz I can't see further than my own nose at this moment

I've got my life of complication here to sort out
I'll take myself to an east coast city and walk about

Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
'cuz I can't see further than my own nose at this moment
Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
'cuz I can't see further than my own nose at this moment
Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
'cuz I can't see further than my own nose at this moment

    En Glasgow nacieron a finales de los 90, produciendo Stuart Murdoch (Belle & Sebastian) su primer álbum, publicado en 2001. Cinco álbumes han sacado desde entonces, con la gran Tracyanne Campbell como cantante y líder. Son atractivos a más no poder gracias a temas legendarios como este que comparto.

  69. D.... K....

    I'm ready to be yours

  70. K.... P....

    Que video tan genial

  71. d.... ....

    My favourite elefant records band

  72. j.... ....

    It's very obviously a link to Lloyd Coles 'are you ready to be heartbroken' .. and he was from Glasgow too

    j.... ....

    It's only obvious if you actually know who that is. Before reading the comments, ever since I'd learned this song's name I just couldn't help but think "Who the hell is Lloyd?"

    j.... ....

    Lloyd cole is from the midlands, Buxton I believe, he did spent some time in glasgow

  73. a.... m....

    Two years ago I was heartbroken by a boy who used the nickname Lloyd (from Fire Emblem). I don't even know where he is now.

    a.... m....

    he's now in heaven with peace

    a.... m....

    now It's been 8 year's,I'm pretty sure Lloyd had earn his karma.

  74. s.... ....

    @softlystroll Well there's a thing. I post a comment last night and have the song in my head all day today then Absolute radio play it 3rd up this evening. And Jeff Lloyd goes on to answer my own query!

  75. s.... ....

    Is there a link here to Lloyd Cole? A rare early 7" by Lloyd and the Commotions went by the same name.

    s.... ....

    Ha, what do you reckon genius?!

  76. j.... ....

    Damn fine music!

  77. B.... ....

    I Love Camera Obscura, this song and "if looks could kill" are the best!!!
