lyrics
Flower Shop Girl
Like a redhead light at the bottom of the world
And I'm on the second floor
Peering down at where you are
Through the mezzanine
At where you listlessly lean
With your plain jane wave
You're no corporate slave like me
Flower Shop Girl
I make up stories about your world
How your father got saved
Your home town got paved
And how you've never lived alone
But you still hate going home
The way you take the change,
What's your name?
I'll probably never know
Because I fall in love
With every girl I see
It's a curse I developed
Back when I was seventeen
When the first girl I loved
Disappeared into a dream
And it never goes away
A little worse every day
Flower Shop Girl
I consider descending into your world
But you seem so nice
And I swear I'm cold as ice
And I'll only break your heart
Because I fall in love
With ever girl I see
And so whenever you quit
Or get replaced on your team
I'll watch the new girl lean
Through the mezzanine
It's a curse
And it only gets worse
Flower Shop Girl

Getting to hear Emily Haines sing Anthems live is always a treasured memory. This has been my favourite record for 15 years and I can’t wait to see the Toronto anniversary show in December. Much love from a long time fan! devgen92
Effervescent pop without a drop of irony, perfectly geared for fans of the more dance-oriented side of indie music and Tears for Fears. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2023
Spacious, psych-tinged indie rock from Philly; painting in blurry watercolors (but not without percussive headiness). Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 16, 2016
