you are a cinema star/with your flashy smile and your motorcar
you're shining like a diamond tonight
you are a movie queen/with a rock 'n' roll boyfriend on each sleeve
you'll fake the quake and lie awake tonight
•and you'll never miss a chance/for a second-rate romance/and you'll use another line/on a subject less-refined/and you'll never understand/in the arms of a vacant man/so i guess there's something to be said for the one who's been mislead•
you are a cinema star/with a head and a bed full of cinema charm
you're crying like a fountain tonight
you are a drama queen/living life in the wake of your wrecking machine
a death-rock moll in a starring role tonight
Like most songs on the album this song shifts between two distinct modes that work great separately, but when they combine, they become Voltron and are unstoppable! bradykoch
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
Just like the title says, this charming pop confection from the New Jersey three-piece skips from jangly high to high on their new EP. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 7, 2023
Well-written, well-recorded, well-produced. Lots of differenttempos/textures, yet still has a cohesive sound, anchored by that gorgeous voice..great guitar work also
