Lost Gem: "The Concept" - Teenage Fanclub (1991)


"Says she don't do drugs
but she does the pill."
~ Teenage Fanclub ~


The Scottish band...Teenage Fanclub...released their 3rd album..."Bandwagonesque" in 1991.

And it would become their most critically acclaimed release...ending up on several Top Ten Of The Year lists.

The record is filled with plenty of catchy melodies and brilliant harmonies. All topped off with jangly pop hooks and grungy guitar riffs.

Add just a touch of... TF "slackertude"...and it makes for a fine RnR pie.

Lost Gem:-->  "The Concept"...Soaring melodies ride atop some neo-psychedelic grunge-pop.
Lyrics sounding like afterthoughts...sweetly warm our backstage hearts.  Classic.

Have you heard this one?


She wears denim wherever she goes
Says she's gonna get some records by the Status Quo
Oh yeah...Oh yeah...
Still she won't be forced against her will
Says she don't do drugs but she does the pill
Oh yeah...Oh yeah...

I didn't want to hurt you oh yeah...
I didn't want to hurt you oh yeah...

Says she likes my hair 'cause it's down my back
Says she likes the group 'cause we pull in the slack
Oh yeah...Oh yeah...
When she's at the gig she takes her car
And she drive us home if it is in a bar
Oh yeah...Oh yeah...

I didn't want to hurt you oh yeah...
I didn't want to hurt you oh yeah...
Aaaah... Aaaah... Aaaah...


Good stuff.
