I Don't Think This Relationship Can Be Saved

From the forthcoming album I'll See Myself Out, please enjoy the amusingly yclept Elvis Eno and the sublimely tragicomic love song that is "I Found Out Who She Voted For."

Inspirational Verse:

She seemed to be a true authentic music lover
She was a fan of Roger, but not Donald Glover
She laughed at every joke I told her
Not too young, she was nicely older

I was impressed with every outfit she was wearing
And she would swear that you would never hear her swearing
She liked the climates that were colder
And offered me the warmest shoulder

Her favorite show was The Saint with Roger Moore
She liked a Guinness and knew what's a good pour
But then I found out who she voted for

I don't know which tickles me more -- the lyrics (hey, I know the feeling!) or the vaguely Revolver-ish sound of the arrangement (love those fake strings!)

More to the point, I cannot tell a lie -- Mr. Eno is actually the nom du disque of Friend of PowerPop© John Dunbar, who attentive readers will recall as the head honcho of The John Sally Ride, a marvelous pop/rock band whose praises I have justifiably sung here on several previous occasions.

I should add that you can (and should) download/buy the song at the Bandcamp link above.

I should also add that when the new album is available in its entirety, I'll let you guys know. You're welcome very much. 😎

Was it that she voted in Black Sabbath to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

I guess she didn’t work as a stockbroker.
