LYRICS: "Lloyd I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken"
He said "I'll protect you like you are the crown jewels" yet
Said he's feeling sorrier for me the more I behave badly
I can bet
Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
I can't see further than my own nose at the moment
Jealousy is more than a word now I understand
I know you can stay a girl by holding a boy's hand
Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
I can't see further than my own nose at the moment
Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
I can't see further than my own nose at the moment
I've got my life of complication here to sort out
I'll take myself to an east coast city and walk about
Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
I can't see further than my own nose at the moment
Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
I can't see further than my own nose at the moment
Hey Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
I can't see further than my own nose at the moment

Funfact: This song is her answer to Lloyd Coles song from 1984: Are you ready to get heartbroken. He was humble when she informed him about it.

@@huesos_azules you are obviously confused. The song is no 10 on Lloyd Coles album Rattlesnakes, from 1984. I also heard an intervju with Lloyd Cole after the release of Camera Obscuras song Lloyd, Im ready to be heartbroken and he was a bit proud of that. All this is facts. So go on with Your own theories, but Keep me and Lloyd Cole out of it. Case closed.

Saw them in 09. Most humble band I’ve ever seen live. There was a no photography policy at the venue and the band made a point to make an amendment to the rules for the night. When I was leaving I saw them on their tour bus, and right before they closed the door I noticed they had a full bar on board. 🎉

I Love You, loved the entire album... was reminded of the band name while watching something related to Queen Elizabeth funeral... hadn't listened to it in years... fell right back in love with it, today, but with sadness that the lead singer died in 2015. Very underrated, someone else said elsewhere. Underrated indeed.

This thrilling musical hyper-Spector "wall of sound", and stylistic mashup of 50s Eisenhower kitsch, and Pop-Art, and 60s psychedelia, is one of the most grating, mocking and cynical parodies of air-headed surrender to teenage heterosexual fantasies, and drivelous bourgeois domestic bliss, I have ever had the chuckling pleasure to watch. A salutary reminder of just how much of our culture and the very core of our facilely-supposed authentic selves is ruthlessly manufactured by capitalistic technicians, seeking to dismantle our real humanity, and sell us material and psychical junk. Just to ensure that their ever-accumulating piles of Alberichean Gold grow even faster! What a civilisation, ehh. Love Andrea
