Talia's Song Pick-o-the-week

I am anxiously awaiting The Lemonheads show with Beth this Friday! Mr. Evan Dando and the rest of the fellas will, no doubt, be on top of their game at Irving Plaza, and one song I hope to hear is No Backbone from their latest self titled album, released earlier this year. Most of you remember The Lemonheads from the ninetys with hits like Into Your Arms, off 1993's Come on Feel the Lemonheads, and who can forget their poppy cover of Simon and Garfunkel's Mrs. Robinson, which appeared on their 1992 album, Its A Shame About Ray.

So, it follows, this week's song pick is No Backbone. I interpret these lyrics to feeling like your life is stuck inside a song, where the lyrics repeat, and they're not bad, but they're not the best, yet they keep playing, and you dance and go along with it, every time you hear the chorus. But you know there's a better song to play if only you had access to it, your favorite song, where the lyrics make you melt and the chorus makes you cry, but its not playing now, so you dance to the other song, and you don't complain, because you have no backbone, because its easier, and because that song that you're dying to hear is just too serious, too important, too real for the time being.













No Backbone
By: The Lemonheads
It's dawned on me again
I can't balance in betweens
It's no longer familiar to me
It's become routine

The bedroom ritual
A simple way to feel
Without running the risk of anything real
Ever being given, ever being shown
Back in the bedroom no backbone

Standards I'd kept, in the back of my mind
Are now just rules to break from time to time
I'm way past worrying about it gettin' a hold on me
I realise I ride on it's back for free

The bedroom ritual
A simple way to feel
Without running the risk of anything real
Ever being given, ever being shown
Back in the bedroom no backbone

Addictively I'll stick to the safety of the script
But I know I'll end up settling for a less than perfect fit

The bedroom ritual
A simple way to feel
Without running the risk of anything real
Ever being given, ever being shown
Back in the bedroom no backbone
Back in the bedroom no backbone
Back in the bedroom no backbone
