Camera Obscura - "My maudlin career" (lyrics)

Brilliant, melancholic, bucolic songs I've been looking for for ages and I found at last!
The latest album from this Scottish band is simply sublime...

Lyrics
.
You kissed me on the forehead
Now this kiss is giving me a concussion
We were love at first sight
Now it's crush
It's crushing
Now choose two stops through the city though
I'm lost easily
I took to the desert but my heart just whines
and deceive me
.
Now we're in love again
And you're wherevers
I'm not a child I know
We're not going steady
.
You're pain's gigantic but it's not as big as your ego
Promise not to abandon you, please let me go
.
Now I've been hurting your feelings
Yeah they were worth protecting
They say I'm too kind and sentimental
Like you could catch affection
.
Oh in your eyes there's a sadness
Enough to kill the both of us
Are those eyes overrated?
They make me want to give up on love
.
I'll brace myself for the holiness
Say hello to feelings that I detest
.
This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
.
This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
.

You have got a nice blog site.

Your blog came up "next" in my browser. Have a look at mine and tell me what you think because I am trying hard to have an effect by the sheer force of words. I tried performance art but the monster relies too much on pornographic and conventional imagery and needs to be tamed. Houses buried in a light coating of first-fallen-snow remind us of the silent moments that inspire creative acts, so I appreciate that choice.
