lyrics
That incredible uncomfortable feeling
Hit me
Like never standing, forever kneeling
That incredible uncomfortable feeling
Too little too late
Too little too late
I should be grateful but I’m not
When I look into the eyes of the one I want
Nah, nah, nah, nah, no
You creep into my sleep and I can’t let you go
You no longer have a face or a name
You made an adolescent mess of the comic-boy’s death
Oh, SOMETHING happened in the fifth grade
Too little too late
Too little too late
I should be grateful but I’m not
When I look into the eyes of the one I want
Nah, nah, nah, nah, no
That incredible uncomfortable feeling
Loves me
It loves me not
That incredible uncomfortable feeling
Too little too late
Too little too late
I should be grateful but I’m not
When I look into the eyes of the one I want
Nah, nah, nah, nah, no
That incredible uncomfortable feeling
Loves me
It loves me not
That incredible uncomfortable feeling
Too little too late
Too little too late
I should be grateful but I’m not
When I look into the eyes of the one I want
Nah, nah, nah, nah, no
Nah, nah, nah, nah, no
Nah, nah, nah, nah, no
That incredible uncomfortable feeling
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

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
Team Void is Pleasures Pale bassist extraordinaire Luis Lerma's current focus. In TV, Louie is an underworld Lucha hero wielding a zombie robot-killing surf guitar. How cool is that?! The Pleasures Pale

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
