lyrics

You say, so I hear you say
You’re afraid you are...
Uh-well, you thought you were gay
You try and try ’til your blue in the face
You try and try, oh, what a shame
You try so hard it’s a dad-blame shame
But you’re not fey — no, you’re not fey
And it wouldn’t become you anyway
Still, I guess, in the back of your pretty head
You felt you hated men
Still, in the back of your coyly tilted head
You knew you loved women
Still, you try and try ’til your blue in the face
You try and try, oh, what a shame
You try so hard it’s a dad-blame shame
But you’re not fey — no, you’re not fey
And it wouldn’t become you anyway
Well, you found the right magazines
And the most extreme books on such things
But you’re not fey — no, you’re not fey
And it wouldn’t become you anyway
Ah....
What a shame, and isn’t it strange?
The day I left I heard you say:
“Somewhere in between is no place for me”
The day I left I heard you say:
“I gotta have something, gotta have it now”
26 years is quite enough
I found you drowned it a paper cup!
But you’re not fey — no, you’re not fey
No, you’re NOT FEY!
And it wouldn’t become you anyway
Fey...

The Pleasures Pale image

The Pleasures Pale Dayton, Ohio

The Pleasures Pale was an influential indie quartet based in Dayton Ohio active from 1985 to 1987. Oft-compared to anglo groups such as The Smiths, TPP's influences can now be read as more diverse — taking cues from postpunk, rockabilly, swing, Motown and Dayton funk. A band for misfits, their extensive, lyric-driven output sought to light a way through the rust belt's post-industrial bleakness. ... more
