about

Song two from Nitwit, a series by Rubyglass.

lyrics

You know the thing with love is you're allergic to the stuff
You see, it seeps in every crevice of your mind --
Making maddening suggestions
Leaving lurid interjections
In the places only private people play.

Blame the bells
Blame the bells
Blame those boastful wedding bells
Brace yourselves for how they hollow out your heart.
Hear the hell of heavy silence
How it sounds your ego's sirens
Asking only for your loneliness
Your latitude
Your longitude
Your longing and your attitudes to change.

All the lovers I remember
Just remind me of those tender talks
That all the lads in movies say they've had.
But those rotten, misbegotten thoughts
Are often best forgotten shots
At shameful, hateful habits hard to break.

Blame the bells
Blame the bells
Blame those awful wedding bells
Break the swells of sound that bounce around your head.
Mend the shells of men you've shattered
When you swore they'd never matter
Just to keep them in your company
And quiet that cacophony
Of can'ts and shoulds repeating in your brain.

Blame the wedding bells.
Blame the wedding bells.
Blame the wedding bells.
Blame those awful, awful bells.
