Camera Obscura - The Sweetest Thing Lyrics






I'm going on a date tonight
To try to fall out of love with you
I know, I know, this is a crime
But I don't know what else to do

My love, you're in a magazine
My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV
You wore my heart out then you ran away
From Chicago to Cleveland you made me pay
You made me pay

When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother

On the bus radio
"50 ways to leave your lover", oh no
I laughed at the irony
But like a stupid, the irony got lost on me
It got lost on me

When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother

You challenged me to write a love song
Here it is I think I got it wrong
I focused on the negative
The pain was too much of an incentive
Always my incentive

When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you song
When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing
I would trade my mother
But she don't know just how far I'd go
Would I walk for a hundred miles for a glimpse of your northern smile?

    Has anyone started a tread trying to guess all the costumes? Simon and Garfunkel. Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks. David Bowie. What’s the guy with the long hair and mustache giving the middle finger supposed to be?

    T.... S....

  3. D.... S....

    Looks like Leslie Knope dresses as Ron Swanson for Halloween.

    I'm going on a date tonight
    To try to fall out of love with you
    I know, I know this is a crime
    But I don't know what else to do

    My love, you're in a magazine
    My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV
    You pull my heart out and then you run away
    From Chicago to Cleveland you leave me pain
    You leave me pain

    When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
    I would trade my mother to hear you sing
    When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
    I would trade my mother

    On the bus radio, "Fifty ways to leave your lover alone"
    I laughed at the irony
    But life is stupid, the irony all lost on me
    It got lost on me

    When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
    I would trade my mother to hear you sing
    When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
    I would trade my mother

    You challenged me to write a love song
    Here it is, I think I got it wrong
    I focused on the negative
    The pain was too much to write and sing
    Oh, it was not a nice incentive

    When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
    I would trade my other to hear you sing
    When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
    I would trade my other to hear you sing

    When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
    I would trade my mother to hear you sing
    When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
    I would trade my mother

    But she don't know just how far I'd go
    Would I walk for a hundred miles for a glimpse of your northern smile

    A.... F....

    @Don Habel Nope. One of the members of the band is dressed up as Mick Fleetwood, while another is dressed as Stevie Nicks. You can see them trying to pose like they do on the cover of the album Rumours around the 1:09 mark.

    interesting little simon and garfunkel nod-- the back cover of bridge over troubled water lp-- that's why the one is wearing the blond wig and walking while  leaning back as the other leans her head in-- cute

  89. j.... ....

    Is it me or was Cindy Sherman in this video?

  90. f.... y....

    I found this song by accident. I was looking for U2 sweetest thing.
    BEST ACCIDENT EVER.

    f.... y....

    @No Name No Face  All a matter of taste I suppose.

    f.... y....

    Fuckk your. Monitering systems me too, after that song, it played this on Spotify and I was definitely not disappointed.

    f.... y....

    Fuckk your. Monitering systems no it wasn't an accident😀

    f.... y....

    Fuckk your. Monitering systems same

  91. I.... R....

    It's bands like these that make me want to be in love.

    I.... R....

    ha, gaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy

    I.... R....

    im jus foolin, alessis ark and elliott smith make me wish i could want to be in love/ fkitall

    I.... R....

    But ARE YOU ready to be heartbroken?

    I.... R....

    Being “in love” with someone is wrong. You should love them but not be in love with someone. Meaning that if you’re in love you put all your energy and time into this one person making them your god.

    I.... R....

    It's songs like this that make me want to shove it in a girl who wants to BE IN LOVE...

  92. p.... s....

    t a Campbell  youre the total best quality lassie....love listening to you singing....xxxxx
    just a guyfan fae edinbra

  94. M.... D....

    The lead singer of this incredibly captivating song reminds me of Jennifer Aniston, at least in this video!

  95. F.... ....

    I love optical device that projects an image of its surroundings on a screen.

  96. k.... b....

    What a voice.
