you make it look so simple
to do right in a world that's not
keeping everything in shot
all the while looking hot
but how much fashion do you need
to wear your heart upon your sleeve
like what if the colours clash
does pink go well with black
but there's a box beneath the stairs
where i keep all the clothes that i don't wear
what an ideal place for keeping mine
do what teacher says
sticks and stones and words can't hurt
heat rises, multiply first
boys wear trousers, girls wear skirts
jack and jill sitting in a tree
with no one else around to see
and if you don't make the grade
you pay for a comfortable grave
down at the graveyard in bournville
with a chocolate factory down the hill
it's a laugh if you think about it
thinking back about those two
one of those things that we all knew
or, it was speculated
that they might be related
jack i think is still alive
but jill's been dead since '95
though nobody knew back then
it was clear by two thousand and ten

if someone asks me for my favourite or any 80s disco track I still replay in my head again and again, I'll have to clarify why I'd make an exception for Spectrum. absolute bomb with such honest and raw emotion, it just makes me bawl. <3 neuroticcanary
