The Queen of White Lies
Ooh, I like the way you make me feel like I could be
the number one game in town.
And all those pretty words you say to me, they pick me up
whenever I’m feeling down.
But I know you’re just a White Witch,
putting that spell on me.
You know I love the punishment,
So girl keep telling me.
La-la-la Lies
Yeah tell me that you love me.
La-la-la Lies
Look deep into my eyes.
La-la-la Lies
Say there’s no one else above me.
I’m the King of Fools, cause baby you’re
The Queen of White Lies.
Ooh you’re like that Cheshire Cat,
There’s a devil that resides behind your smile.
You’ve got them diamond eyes, they hypnotize
You’re unsuspecting victims with your style.
But I know I’m not the one and only
Game you’re playing.
You know I love the punishment,
So girl keep saying.
La-la-la Lies
Yeah tell me that you love me.
La-la-la Lies
Look deep into my eyes.
La-la-la Lies
Say there’s no one else above me.
I’m the King of Fools, cause baby you’re
The Queen of White Lies.
La-la-la-la-la Lies
I’m at your beck and call.
La-la-la-la-la Lies
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere at all.
La-la-la-la-la Lies
So lie to me honey, take all my money,
Just do those things you do to me.
Ooh, I like the way you make me feel like I could be
the number one game in town.
And all those pretty words you say to me, they pick me up
whenever I’m feeling down.
But I know you’re just a White Witch,
putting that spell on me.
You know I love the punishment,
So girl keep telling me.
La-la-la Lies

Cult of Dionysus
Yesterday I heard you say
Your lust for life has gone away.
It got me thinking, I think I feel a similar way,
And that’s sad (that’s sad).
So let’s make a decision, start a new religion.
Yeah, we’re gonna build a temple to our love.
Orgiastic dances, nymphs in trances,
Yeah, we’ll be the envy of the Gods above.
I’m feeling devious,
You’re looking glamorous.
Let’s get mischievous,
And polyamorous.
Wine and women and wonderful vices
Welcome to the cult of Dionysus.
We could take a Holiday in the month of May
Run free and play in fields of flowers
Pass the hours making love is how we’ll pray.
Or start a secret society for the wild and free,
Our ideology is “You can do what you want,
Too much is never enough”.
We are the Life, we are the light,
we are the envy of the Gods above.
I’m feeling devious,
You’re looking glamorous.
Let’s get mischievous,
And polyamorous.
Wine and women and wonderful vices
Welcome to the cult of Dionysus.
Run, run, run away.
Just take my hand and we’ll abandon this world.
We’ll wash those tears away,
You’re young and beautiful, and I’ll love you always.
We got no time for pain,
when it’s just you and me in ecstasy.
What is with the world today,
The wicked games that people play.
The wars the greed they waste away
It’s sad (it’s sad).
So let’s spread the word across the land,
Yeah one by one, baby hand in hand.
We got a message of hope
we got mission of love.
Soon everybody, everywhere will be
The envy of the gods above.
I’m feeling devious,
You’re looking glamorous.
Let’s get mischievous,
And polyamorous.
Wine and women and wonderful vices
Welcome to the cult of Dionysus.

Obsessed With You
I’ve got your picture on my wall.
I dream about you when I sleep.
I go out of my way, everyday, just hoping that
I’ll catch you walking down your street.
I know just where you went to school.
I know the names of all your friends.
Oh God I’ve got it bad again,
an O-B-S-E-S-S-I-O-N.
I know your middle name.
I’ve got a lock of your hair.
I’m just a little bit insane,
cause I think I see you everywhere.
My friends, they just don’t understand.
They cannot see my point of view.
They say it’s gotten out of hand,
That I’m obsessed with you.
I want to get next to you.
Yeah I love all the things you do.
I want to get close to you.
You are my dream come true.
I want to have sex with you.
Your sweet caress won’t do.
Cause I’m obsessed with you.
Yeah I’m obsessed with you.
Your smile sets my heart aflame.
Electrocute me with your eyes.
The very mention of your name,
My stomach fills with butterflies.
Your love is better than cocaine
I need you more than oxygen.
Oh God I’ve got it bad again,
an O-B-S-E-S-S-I-O-N.
I know your middle name.
I’ve got a lock of your hair.
I’m just a little bit insane,
cause I think I see you everywhere.
My friends, they just don’t understand.
They cannot see my point of view.
They say it’s gotten out of hand,
and I’m obsessed with you.
I want to get next to you.
Yeah I love all the things you do.
I want to get close to you.
You are my dream come true.
I want to have sex with you.
Your sweet caress won’t do.
Cause I’m obsessed with you.
Yeah I’m obsessed with you.
You and me, we were meant to be.
We live happily in my fantasy.
We go walking down the aisle,
Yeah you look at me and smile.
My alarm clock rings, I wake up in denial.
I want to get next to you.
Yeah I love all the things you do.
I want to get close to you.
You are my dream come true.
I want to have sex with you.
Your sweet caress won’t do.
Cause I’m obsessed with you.
Yeah I’m obsessed with you.

I Love the Stars
I love the night, I love the mystery,
I love to gaze into infinity.
Little lights that lead as far as I can see.
I love the way they seem to wink at me
I love to think about a possibility
Of a world where you care for me.
I love the stars
J’adore les etoiles
I love to make believe the universe is ours
I love the stars
J’adore les etoiles
I believe that somewhere out there,
You and I make love together
On and on and on
I love the stars.
I love the way they shine, I love the fantasy,
I love to stare into eternity.
Let my mind become a wave upon the sea.
And then I race across the galaxy,
Far away beyond reality,
To a world where you care for me.
I love the stars
J’adore les etoiles
I love to make believe the universe is ours
I love the stars
J’adore les etoiles
I believe that somewhere out there,
You and I make love together

The Sun and the Moon, and the stars will align.
Somebody up there loves us baby,
Cause it’s written in the stars that shine.
I love the stars
J’adore les etoiles
I love to make believe the universe is ours
I love the stars

Adrianne
Well I don’t know how you did it
but you turned this boy into a man,
Adrianne.
Well I don’t know how you do it
but you touch me like no one can,
Adrianne.
Well I don’t know how you do it
But I turn to putty in your hands,
Adrianne.
Well the first time that I saw you
You were flirting with another man,
Adrianne.
But you gave me a wink
You made me think that I might stand a chance,
Adrianne.
Well I’m sorry if I seem to be a bit confused.
But I’m slightly undecided which side to choose.
Cause I’ve never had a lover
make me question Mother Nature’s plan.
I want to be your man.
Adrianne.
Well my friends are always sayin’
You’re a player that’s in demand.
Adrianne.
Yeah my friends are always sayin’
You’ll be playin’ that game again.
Adrianne.
Well I thought I could resist,
But now your wish, it is my command.
Adrianne.
Cause it was absolute surrender
from the moment that you held my hand.
Adrianne.
Yeah it was absolute surrender
Baby now I am your biggest fan.
Adrianne.
Well I’m sorry if I seem to be a bit confused.
But I’m slightly undecided which side to choose.
Cause I’ve never had a lover
make me question Mother Nature’s plan.
I want to be your man.
Adrianne.
Well I’ve had all kinds of lovers,
But you’re different from the others,
And your secrets I’ve discovered.
Adrianne.
Well I don’t care who knows it,
I’m in love and I don’t give a damn.
Adrianne.
I don’t care who knows it
we’ve got something they don’t understand.
Adrianne.
I don’t care who knows that I’m in love with you.
We don’t need no ones permission to do what we do.
Cause your love is so delicious,
It’s a sweet and vicious wonderland…
I want to be your man.
Adrianne.

There’s No Love in February
Where’s the life that was promised to me by my color T.V.
Where did it all go wrong?
How could I be alone again on this day?
on this accursed day.
So naïve, such a fool to believe, I could ever receive,
anything better than this.
Where’s the love that can make it all go away?
Where are you when I need to hear you say…
Turn around, I’m right behind you.
Don’t be afraid, I’m here to remind you.
I’ll be there to catch you when you fall.
Dry your eyes, it’s not so bad at all…
Well it’s all made up, it’s imaginary.
There’s no love in February.
From the start I was played for a fool, when I got out of school,
I was handed a great big lie.
Cause they said, “Just believe in a dream and try”
Oh yeah? Well thirteen years have gone by.
And I’m still just running in a circle, never getting any further.
Just a loser doomed to work until I die.
Where’s the love that can make it all go away?
Where are you when I need to hear you say…
Turn around, I’m right behind you.
Don’t be afraid, I’m here to remind you.
I’ll be there to catch you when you fall.
Dry your eyes, it’s not so bad at all…
Well I spend my days still searchin’ for ya
You took my heart to California.
Stuck with the winter in New York City.
There’s no love in February.
Everyday I get further away the love that we had,
Where did it all go bad?
No don’t think I’ll get out of bed today,
‘cause the sky is a permanent shade of grey.
And it’s not like I’m getting any younger, no those days are gone forever.
And I never even got a chance to try.
Where’s the love that can make it all go away,
Where were you when I needed to hear you say…
Turn around, I’m right behind you.
Don’t be afraid, I’m here to remind you.
I’ll be there to catch you when you fall.
Dry your eyes, it’s not so bad at all…
All made up, it’s imaginary.
There’s no love in February.

Like Sexy Dynamite
Oh yeah, your love it gets me hotter than a flame.
Fever at the mention of your name.
Don’t wanna get too caught up in the game.
Too late
Too late, you’re taking me over.
I knew I was in trouble when you held my hand.
You radiate emotion that I just don’t understand.
You move me with desire, this was not my plan.
Oh no
Oh no, I’m going under.
You’re like water, I can’t hold you.
Slip through my fingers, I can’t control you.
I’m on fire with your crazy energy, it’s lightning.
Look what you do to me.
You’re like sexy dynamite,
You cause explosions inside me every night.
You’re like sexy dynamite,
You cause explosions inside me every night.
All of my life I’ve been waiting for this.
Illuminate the sky with your electrifying kiss.
You’re gonna take me down but I just can’t resist,
too late
Too late, you’re taking me over.
All the little lover-things you do to me,
Your soul ignites the fire that sets me free
You know I will surrender to your ecstasy.
oh yeah
Oh yeah, I’m going under.
I see a tidal wave on the horizon.
I feel the danger, the tide is rising.
You’re like a hurricane, lightning and thunder.
You know I can’t escape the spell I’m under.
You’re like sexy dynamite,
You cause explosions inside me every night.
You’re like sexy dynamite,
You cause explosions inside me every night.
And when you kiss me there,
A soft explosion fills the air,
You know you’ve got me dear.
You’re like sexy dynamite,
You cause explosions inside me every night.
You’re like sexy dynamite,
You cause explosions inside me every night.

Your New Boyfriend
I remember when we were together and
We used fancy words just like “forever” and
We controlled the Moon, and willed the stars to shine.
Now, it seems I can’t, can’t get you off of my mind.
I know that I was the one running ‘round the town.
But something told me that you might stick around,
Then yesterday I saw
You and your new boyfriend, were walking hand in hand.
And I just can’t remember when it hurt so bad.
And yeah, I know, I know, I know I’m the one to blame
For getting caught up in the game. You’ve got a new boyfriend,
And I’m alone again.
I recall a time when we were hand in hand
Taking on the world without a second glance.
Friends would stop to say “Oh, what a perfect pair”.
I recall a time, a time when you were there.
It’s such a sorry old song, you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.
But all our friends that used to carry on,
Well, they’re all talkin’ ‘bout
You and your new boyfriend, are walking hand in hand.
And I just can’t remember when I felt so sad.
And yeah, I know, I know, I know I’m the one to blame
For getting caught up in the game. You’ve got a new boyfriend,
And I want you back again.
And I wonder, is this how it’s meant to be?
Do you tell him all the things that you told me
When we were beautiful, and brilliant like the sun?
Well how am I to keep on going, knowing that we’re done?
And I know, I know it’s over, and I can’t go back in time.
If I could I would, cause you should still be mine.
But that’s all over now.
You’ve got a new boyfriend, and you’re walking hand in hand.
And I just can’t remember when, it hurt so bad.
And yes, I know, I know, I know I’m the one to blame
for chasing my fortune and fame. You’ve got a new boyfriend,
And I’m alone again.

Blood & Money
Welcome to the dawning of a dark, dark age,
where deception and dishonesty are all the rage.
The Man controls the media, your eyes and your ears,
with music made by mother fuckin’ mouseketeers!
Now once upon a time you had a beautiful dream,
well wake up you’re just a product of the war-machine.
You call yourself a pacifist? You’re just another punk.
The rich are getting richer, so let’s all get drunk and
sing with the masses, sing with the masses.
Come on, come on and give us blood & money.
Color T.V.s with super-sonic sound.
Bow down before the land of milk and honey,
Or we’ll burn your people, burn your people to the ground.
Come and watch the death of the American dream.
Now the red, white, and blue is the red, gold, and green.
The man controls the money, and he starts a war,
but fight it? No, that’s what the working-class is for.
So he hides behind a bible, and he hides behind a flag,
And he hides behind your brother in a body-bag.
He hides behind the covers, yeah cause while he sleeps,
He’s counting up the bodies like he’s counting sheep! He goes…
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven-thousand more!
( Who’s keepin’ score? )
Come on, come on and give us blood & money.
Color T.V.s with super-sonic sound.
Bow down before the land of milk and honey,
While we burn our bridges, burn our bridges to the ground.
Blood & Money, Blood & Money, Blood & Money make the world go round.

Found this through my poor Spotify trying desperately to find what I might like to listen to. Not at all my normal type of music but it actually made me stop and listen. Delightful from beginning to end. It's gone onto my DAP to become part of my normal rotation of music.

Giddy and ramshackle bedroom indie pop bursting with buoyant guitars and summery vocal hooks.

Bouncy, jangly power pop with a slash of acidic shadow, as the very best twee always has. From Boston, they met at band camp (not Bandcamp).

Polished dancepop from Honeymoan with sky-high vocal melodies surrounded by sparkling guitars.

I found this album after DSiSM was used in Grimace shake tiktoks of all things. What a funny way to find the best Tally Hall album, even if they don't call themselves Tally Hall here.
