"Too Operatic (2013 Recording)" lyrics
(feat. Rebecca Sjöwall)
Too operatic, so true, and it's all aimed at you, aimed directly at you
Too operatic you say, but when you've been betrayed, lilting airs hold no sway
Too operatic in style and in substance, I smile, there's no changing the dial
Too much emotion for songs meant for children who long for a chance to sing 'long
Too much emotion for tunes sung by swingers who croon and then sleep until noon
Too operatic for you, does the killer in you have a similar view
Too overblown for your taste, for your Philistine taste
It was all such a waste
You, who I trusted, so wrong, who I trusted too long, who I trusted too long
You, who I trusted, so wrong, who I trusted too long, who I trusted too long
Too operatic you say, but when you've been betrayed, lilting airs hold no sway
Too operatic in style and in substance, I smile, there's no changing the dial
Too much emotion for songs meant for children who long for a chance to sing 'long
Too much emotion for tunes sung by swingers who croon and then sleep until noon
Too operatic for you, does the killer in you have a similar view
Too overblown for your taste, for your Philistine taste
It was all such a waste
You, who I trusted, so wrong, who I trusted too long, who I trusted too long
You, who I trusted, so wrong, who I trusted too long, who I trusted too long
