The same as all the burning leaves
And fading anniversaries
Our new ideas conclude
The way we are and want to be
A jealous kiss exchanged between
Two different ways to lose
I dreamed of you before we met
And in my dreams I held my breath
I felt so unafraid
Fresh faces in the photo booths
Extracted each like rotten tooths
But you always remained
And if you’re up on Wednesday night
Unlock your door and leave on your light
‘Cause I’ll be coming back again for you
Remember all the songs we played
Forget all the mistakes we made
There wasn’t nothing else that we could do.
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
supported by 7 fans who also own “Wednesday Night”
A real gift to those
given the enormous task
of condensing him. 😉
