I watched the sun go down
On the USA
Suburban boulevards
Cities in decay
People in dismay
I heard the sun go down
On the great highway
The cries of old theme parks
Playland By The Sea
It was Halloween
Warm and misty air
Maybe friends were there
Wasted on the beach
What a scene
Seagulls in our eyes
Pure light, old and wise
Melt away my dreams
I woke to find her gone
Miss America
Her cracked guitar still plays
In my head always
Listen what it says

Current me is slightly miffed at past me for having been so dismissive of the first Beths track I was introduced to: "Whatever"
I think it was being slammed everywhere - and my response to that track was in keeping with the title...
I shoulda given them a chance.
As someone keen on more than a couple of Flying Nun luminaries, I submit their work is so much better than that early radio single.
"You Wouldn't Like Me". Soo catchy.
Uptown Girl, is bangin', makes me wanna drink the whole town dry! theUtmost
