Lied van de week : week 23 - 2011

The worst part - Lucy Wainwright Roche




Enkele weken geleden zag ik Lucy Wainwright Roche het voorprogramma verzorgen voor haar vader, Loudon Wainwright III, in de AB. Het was een fijn optreden, en deze week ontving ik haar album Lucy uit mijn brievenbus vissen, dat ik kreeg ter recensie voor Indiestyle (binnenkort daar en ook op deze blog te vinden).
Heel wat nummers herkende ik uit de set, en dit wist me net als toen het meest te bekoren : The worst part. Ook de tekst raakt me, trouwens...

Je kan het album Lucy hier kopen.

Lyrics :

honestly you were less than a prince
I could say that again
what we had was little more than a glimpse
of the things that we hoped for back then

no one wants to find the one who
they thought was lovely was a flash in the pan
survey the scene well the break was clean hell
that may be true and yet the losses were grand

and the worst part is oh the worst part is
oh the very worst part is I will always love you anyway

left myself sitting pretty and dumb
sitting right on the rails
the service train came and set us apart
although now I'm still getting your mail

you seem to have found a way to bring me down
to make me see just how the problem was mine
if you would like to be a person making me
feel worse well you can get behind me in line

and the worst part is oh the worst part is
oh the very worst part is I will always love you anyway
