Only Shallow
my bloody valentine Lyrics
Sleep
Like a pillow
Down(ward)
And
(Where)
She won't care
Anyway (where)
Soft
As a pillow
Where she won't dare
Somewhere
Sleep
Like a (royal)
(Subject)
Think
That you grew
Stronger there
Speak
Your troubles
She's not scared
Soft like there's silk
Everywhere
Sleep
(Is a) pillow
Come
Where she won't dare
Anyway (where)
(Look)
In the mirror
She's not there
Where she won't care
Somewhere

Wanna hear a cool story?
I bought this cassette whenitI was first released. as a teenager. I knew nothing about the band. I bought it based on the name alone.
So I get in my car and pop it in the player.
Something had to be wrong with my cassette player, I thought. Maybe the tape speed was off or something.
I pulled out the tape and put back in. Same thing. So it had to be something wrong with the tape.
I was bummed. I drove back to Hastings at Red Bird Mall. Dallas, Tx.
I told the clerk “hey, somethings the matter with this tape. It’s warped. I think it got damage from the heat whilst in transit!” I didn’t actually use the word ‘whilst’ but man it’s such a cool word
He says “oh no man. Go grab you another one”. I said “cool”.
Went out to my car and popped in the cassette. That one was warped too!
I went back in the mall and demanded my money back. He says “so are you sure it’s not your cassette player?” I say “no way, dude. It’s an Alpine”. He agreed.
He says “I’m gonna grab you a fresh tape from a different shipment”. I’m like “cool”.
He comes out and says “let’s try it out first”. He pops it in the house system.
There’s that crazy warped tape sound again.
We go through three or four more tapes. Same problem.
Manager comes in. We explain the dilemma. A record label is shipping defective My Bloody Calentine cassettes.
He probably gasped. I don’t know.
He gets another tape and says @put it in”. The guy says “alright then”.
Pops it in. Here we go again.
Me and the guy look at each other as if agreeing there is something quite sinister going on. Possible subliminal propaganda infiltration from the Russians?
Nope. Turns out the manager says to me and the guy “kids, this IS the right tape., no defects. This is how this band sounds”
That, my friends is the story of how My Bloody Valentine blew my ever loving mind. -

문코🚪👃
Sleep like a pillow, no one there
Where she won't care, anywhere
Soft as a pillow, touch her there
Where she won't dare, somewhere
Sweet like a mallow, softer, fair
Feel like you could swallow her
Sleep, going to tremble, she's not square
Soft like there's silk everywhere
Sleep as a pillow, comfort there
Where she won't dare, anywhere
Look in the mirror, she's not there
Where she won't care, somewhere

I love how Kevin is very calm while playing his maniacal riff.
