I stumbled on this song last night while looking at a Japanese release of B2B which included it as a bonus track.
Never heard it before. Anyone have any info on it?
I see it’s on a maxi single of Rehab as well.
i’ve know it for a while but i dont really know anything about it, only that it sounds oldish..
Surprised you didn’t know this one yet, Kev! I’ve had it for about 2 years now I think. It’s one of my favorites from the Frank era. I can’t tell you much about it though.. Other than that you can endlessly argue about the lyrics since they have never been printed on paper.
EDIT:
Only paid attention in your lessons
I sat close at the front so I could see
Your enthusiastic demonstrations
Teaching to a class of only me
And I couldn’t speak directly to you
Without stuttering or turning red
So looking back I don’t know how I handled it, yeah
Futile frustration in my head
Chorus 1x:
I can’t help but analyze your accent,
Neglecting mine
Before I know I’ve fallen hard
And now I tread water in time
Hated it when I saw them together
I sat around waiting for shit to end
Unconsciously I tried to sabotage it
To get revenge on my best friend
Because I was in love with him before her
I had just cause to grieve
So not long after she broke up with him
I got my closure on new years eve
Chorus 2x
I love all the bickering and insults
And when I shout at you and you smile
Making coffee while my mind spills over
How I catch your art once in a while
Shouldn’t I have grown a little wiser?
Why haven’t I learned my lesson yet?
And although I have made my love progresses
I tend to learn as much as I forget
Chorus 3x

Some say accent = actions btw. But I personally stick to accent religiously.
I’ve always thought it is accent as well, but what do I know.
It’s one of her songs where even when you aren’t sure of the lyics you just sing along cause she sounds so damned good… and you don’t care if you sound like an ass!!! Hahaha!!!
Close To The Front is one of her best songs.
She has a… porno-ish voice in that song. *blush*
I have repeat that song whole this day, haha.
Not heard it until today. Great, atmospheric song, a bit like In my bed. Fascinating, but not in a Spock kind of way. Strangely heart-warming, in a melancholic way. Really seems like she can do anything. These older songs give the impression that she’s been around not a mere six, but sixteen years. One word: talent.
Haven’t you heard it before? :amyshock:
Lol.. That’s one of my fav songs, i have repeated it whole the day XD
she uses “futile”again，she loves to use this word to express her feeling
I had exactly the same thought the 1st time I heard this song
funny hun? lol
me too
