lyrics
I was up on a cliff, looking over my home.
Then I dove,
And screamed like a new bird
Through the wilder beyond.
I could fly, I could sing.
I was king, I was queen, I was no one.
It was a dream I had
When I was someone else.
It’s nothing, it’s nothing.
Now I don’t dream it.
So, if you want to cover it up,
I’m a liar, I got what you want.
If you want to cover it up, cover it up.
I’m the fittest I’ve been.
I work hard every day.
In my play, I am sane, I am grounded.
But there was something once.
Some kind of bridge I crossed
Away from honest lusts.
Oh, all the things I’ve lost.
It was a dream I had
When I was someone else.
It’s nothing, it’s nothing.
No, I don’t dream it now.
Was just a dream I had
When I was someone else.
It’s nothing, it’s nothing.
No, I don’t dream it.
So, if you want to cover it up,
I’m a liar, I got what you want.
If you want to cover it up,
I’m a liar, I got what you want.
If you want to cover it up, cover it up.
We’re gonna cover it up, cover it up.
We’re gonna cover it up, cover it up.
We’re gonna cover it up, cover it up.
There was a dream I had
When I was someone else.
It’s not that it’s nothing.
It’s I won’t dream it now.
If you want to cover it up,
I’m a liar, I got what you want.
If you want to cover it up,
I’m a liar, I got what you want.
If you want to cover it up, cover it up.
We’re gonna cover it up, cover it up.
We’re gonna cover it up, cover it up.
We’re gonna cover it up, cover it up.
Cover it up, cover it up.
We’re gonna cover it up, cover it up.
We’re gonna cover it up, cover it up.
We’re gonna cover it up, cover it up.
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
Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness. Bandcamp New & Notable May 13, 2016
