Flying into Heathrow, I know,
I've got a lot to think about
Let's write off the day
And go chill back at mine for a whileWalking through the high street, my god
Why do I feel so vulnerable
The cars and the posters
The people all look so different here I'm under the spell of LA
And I don't want to be here
I'm under the spell of LA
And I don't want to be home Jumpin' in a black cab, it's raining
Watching the lights turn red again
My driver he's seen New York
But LA is one of them way distant dreams
I close my eyes
I never shoulda said goodbye I'm under the spell of LA
And I don't want to be here
I'm under the spell of LA
And I don't want to be home (la la la la la la la la la la la la) (unde lay undlay ah ah unde lay uh ah) For the sake of translation... although the interpretations are pretty funny. I do like this song...

Hmm, wondering why I never heard such a well-produced CD so I googled:
"Atlantic Records declined to release Ellie Lawson's debut album, The Philosophy Tree. Shortly after being dropped by Atlantic, Lawson picked up the pieces and got herself an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres' successful daytime talk show. Following that appearance, Barnes & Noble came to the rescue, arranging an exclusive release of the album through its retail stores, and in August 2005 Philosophy Tree finally appeared. And it's weird that Atlantic passed, because Lawson's debut is a dead ringer for Unwritten, the debut of similarly blonde, similarly British Natasha Bedingfield that blew up the U.K. charts."

How many girls who were say 12 to 16 in 1995 when Jagged Little Pill came out. I'm surprised there aren't more daughters of Morrisette considering the ubiquity of that record.

Holy, this has been around for almost three years? I second your take on this tune. Funny how people get so pre-occupied trying to compare styles/singers/writers, etc. Every artist is influenced to some extent by those who have come before. So what? You either like the song - or you don't. Spare us the comparisons. By the way, Bill's playing "They Might Be Giants" at the moment. They sound a lot like ... crap. |

Alanis moving from angst to pop is what fell on my ears. |

I'm pretty sure that's in the background of a Beth Orton song... |

Her yodeling makes it pretty difficult for my speech centre to pick out what she's actually saying.
She could sing in hindi for all I care, I like it enough for a 7 anyway =)
