You Are Indecision

Low Millions "Mockingbird" Listen | Buy

NOTES: This is the second time I'm putting up a track from Low Millions, having featured the song "Eleanor" back at the end of February. I get at least 10 hits a day from people searching for that song (side note: I just watched the video for "Eleanor" and now I've got a little crush working on Mr. Adam Cohen). This time I'm giving you "Mockingbird" which is also insanely catchy. I don't really like Cohen's reading of the first few lines (too much like his dad), but once he hits Enter the doctor and the nurse, the song really takes off.

Here's Cohen's description of the song – "A postcard dispatched from a patient in the hospital of love. Diagnosis: Mild insanity, induced by the indecision and contradictions of one's beloved. Is that faint sound the sweet song of a nightingale, or the deceptive call of the lying mockingbird? The patient's condition grows increasingly unstable."

Here come the nightingales
Or could it be the mockingbird
They're at my windowsill
They flew in as soon as they heard
Enter the doctor and the nurse
Say my condition's getting worse
They take my pulse and shake their heads
They recommend I stay in bed

They say you are my condition
You are indecision
You, what is wrong with you?

You say you love me but you don't love me
You say you hate me but you don't hate me
You say you'd leave me but you can't leave me

Because you love me
What's it gonna be?
What is wrong with you
Is what is wrong with me

Here goes nothing
I just swallowed the pill
The room's spinning out of control
Although I'm lying still
And those mockingbirds
They're hovering above
They're talking back and forth
About the trouble with our love

You say you love me but you don't love me
You say you hate me but you don't hate me
You say you'd leave me but you can't leave me

Because you love me
What's it gonna be?
What is wrong with you

Oh my God
I think I've actually lost the plot
Oh my God
My brain is fried and my nerves are shot
And why not

You say control me no don't control me
You say hold me no don't hold me
You say you'd marry me
But you can't marry me

Because you love me but you don't love me
Because you hate me but you don't hate me
Because you'd leave me but you don't leave me
Here come the mockingbirds

You say you love me but you don't love me
You say you need me but you don't need me
You say you'd leave me but you can't leave me

Because you love me
What's it gonna be?
What is wrong with you
Is what is wrong with me
