Lonely Head

by Howlie

supported by

mayor_samwise If lust, as Nabokov wrote, is never quite sure of itself, then love certainly isn't either. This song seems like a tribute to the doubts and fears, especially about oneself, when longing for another. The vocals and rough yet lyrical guitar recall many of John Lennon's songs such as "In My Life" and "Jealous Guy"--wistful, pained and eerily beautiful.

lyrics

Grab a bite to eat and pita chips
Try to show off and break a string
And I turn violet red
I got a lonely head

Then we talk about how long it's been
The days go by, and yeah, I count
And I see violet sky
I've been a shitty guy

You've always been so close to me
Without you here, it's frightening
I'm a shallow, superficial boy

Tell me all about your lovely life
The boys go by, and yeah, I count
And I see violet sun
And you might be the one

You've always been so close to me
Without you here, it's frightening
I'm a shallow, superficial boy

You've always been so close to me
Without you here, it's frightening
I'm a shallow, superficial boy
Ain't got nothing on the other boys
I'm a shallow, superficial boy
