about

Cello, Mellotron flutes and all the regular rock 'n' roll gear conspire with a whiff of the Beatles' "Rain". The ghost strikes back, in "Teenage Folklore"-speak. The title of the first album originated here, too, although the song missed the cut.

lyrics

she had a gothic horror story for a bio
and her resumé was just a list of failures
somehow that just made her all the more attractive
soft enough to love me but too hard to be destroyed

she's got heavy juju in her absence
she can't be discarded like an anniversary flower
she's got heavy juju in her absence
it's like she's still here

she shook up all of my preconceptions
quickly laid to rest some tired old clichés of gender
then she took me by surprise by kissing me
while I was contemplating whether I should kiss her first

I've got a heresy in my pocket
fresh data-crime from headquarters
don't tell my children, don't tell my parents
they'd only brief the reporters

she is just a fiction loosely based on someone
long ago and far away in teenage folklore
she is perfect in a way her prototype could not
and would not be 'cos I forgot about the flaws
