lyrics
your big gig, planned it for months inviting
every friend, six of them show and then
by the end, three still listening
you'd thought by now tickets would be selling
if not selling out, still begging friends to come be your crowd
playing to empty rooms
your cover's blown, you want to say something
but words don't come, trying to be something you
just weren't, you been observed
they see right through you
superstar, strumming away on your dad's guitar
fooling yourself about who you are
it ain't too hard
to see right through you
hey superstar, strumming away on your dad's guitar
fooling yourself about who you are
it ain't too hard
to see right through you
yeah your cover's blown, you want to say something
but word's don't come, trying to be something you
just weren't, you been observed
they see right through you
your big gig, planned it for months inviting
every friend, six of them show and then
by the end, three still listening
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
The eclectic influences of this California group shine through on these creeping tracks, full of dark electronics and intimate vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 15, 2020
